The '''Thorax''' is a gunboat, designed to use hybrid turrets.


In PvP it is most commonly flown as a hard-hitting blaster boat. With its bonuses for damage and tracking, 50mb drone bandwidth and very respectable speed for a cruiser hull, a blaster Thorax can muster lots of fast-moving DPS even in the hands of a novice pilot, and can apply that DPS to a wide range of small and large targets. Such fits do not, though, tank especially well, and tend to live briefly (albeit sometimes gloriously).

'''PvP'''
In a blaster Thorax, pilots should usually attempt to close with the enemy: they wield high potential DPS, but need to be at short range. Consider your optimal warp-in range on most targets to be 0. Thoraxes can have a shot at running in "under the guns" of turret battleships, getting close enough that they cannot be tracked by large turrets. Don't forget to launch your drones and let them loose on the enemy too.

''We’re giving the Thorax a bit more thrust and making fitting it feel less tight by improving the powergrid output it has so it’ll be easier to fit higher caliber weapons and have an easier time getting in range for blasters.''
* Powergrid Output improved from 820 to 860 MW.
* Maximum Velocity improved from 240 to 250 m/s.
