==Summary==
== Summary ==
The '''Maelstrom''' is the usual choice for minmatar pilots running Level 4 missions, which it does quite well with its bonus to shield boosting. PvE Maelstroms usually fit an X-large shield booster for a powerful pulsed shield tank, and artillery for long-range DPS -- though against the Angel Cartel, whose battleships like to engage at close range, some pilots like to fit large autocannons instead.
The '''Maelstrom''' is the Minmatar T1 battleship with a tank bonus as such it has a bonus to shield boosters; further it’s bonused for projectile turrets.


In PvP the Maelstrom is the backbone of the "alpha fleet" - fleets designed to one-shot ships to negate the power of logistics.

''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Maelstrom for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''
The Maelstrom is the final word in artillery sniping, invariably fit with a full rack of 1400mm guns and a shield tank.  Before the advent of micro jump technology, the prevailing battleship doctrine was the "alpha fleet".  This technique relied on massed Maelstroms to delete enemy battleships in a single overwhelming volley, allowing no time for logistics ships to intervene.
