The Thrasher's balanced mid and low slot layout makes it more flexible than most destroyers, able to fit some tackle and a small armour tank, or damage enhancement and a shield tank. | The Thrasher's balanced mid and low slot layout makes it more flexible than most destroyers, able to fit some tackle and a small armour tank, or damage enhancement and a shield tank. | ||

As a T1 destroyer, the Thrasher is often the first step up out of frigates for pilots training in Minmatar ships. It is quite beginner-friendly, and can be flown effectively for simple PvE combat with only basic projectile turret skills. But destroyers are larger targets than frigates, and can't mount the scale of tank found on T1 cruisers, so the Thrasher is a little less forgiving than smaller ships. The jump from frigate to destroyer is a good moment to consider initial [[Support Skills|support skills]] for turrets, navigation, and tanking. | As a T1 destroyer, the Thrasher is often the first step up out of frigates for pilots training in Minmatar ships.

Characters with most relevant skills trained to IV or V can wring startling amounts of DPS out of the Thrasher, and it is sometimes seen in the hands of very experienced pilots. | Characters with most relevant skills trained to IV or V can wring startling amounts of DPS out of the Thrasher, and it is sometimes seen in the hands of very experienced pilots. | ||

The Thrasher is also great if you are starting out in the Abyss. An artillery fit like [https://abysstracker.com/fit/39671459-4e96-4d0d-b9eb-8a0f03635f80 this one], with decent gunnery and shield skills, can easily clear T0 Electrical Abyss in under 4 minutes, allowing a decent return of ISK. | |||

An artillery fit with sensor boosters can be a very cost-effective low-security gatecamp platform. The standard usage is to fire a single volley and then immediately warp off to avoid gate guns, which the Thrasher cannot tank. | An artillery fit with sensor boosters can be a very cost-effective low-security gatecamp platform.
