=== Weapons on a Tackler ===

As you can see, we haven't put any weapons in this guide. The reason is simple: a tackler in a Uni fleet~~, as it's name suggests~~, '''~~exists~~''' ~~purely for tackling~~. ~~You can safely leave the~~ damage-dealing ~~to other~~ ships. If you have some powergrid and CPU left~~, you can~~ fit ~~missile launchers or projectile~~ weapons ~~in the highslots~~. ~~These weapon systems don~~'t use ~~any~~ capacitor, ~~and a tackler~~'s capacitor ~~is needed~~ to ~~keep~~ the ~~warp disruptor and the stasis webifier running. Don't waste it on anything else~~.

As you can see, we haven't put any weapons in this guide. The reason is simple: as a tackler in a Uni fleet, '''tackling''' is your priority. The amount of damage that you might add is tiny compared to specialised damage-dealing ships, and while every little helps it is very low on your list of concerns. Fit all the other modules that you need first, and if you have some powergrid and CPU left fit whatever weapons you have room for. If you're fitting a MWD or a warp disruptor (both of which use a lot of capacitor to run), it's a good idea to fit projectile and missile weapons since these do not require capacitor to fire. Do not compromise your mid or low slot modules just to give you the CPU or powergrid to fit better weapons.

An additional option for high slots on a tackler is a small nosferatu (aka nos or vampire). Most small nosferatus require you to be ~~in very~~ close (5500m to 6000m) ~~range~~, so they ~~aren~~'t ~~always practical since they will put you~~ within ~~web~~ range of your target. Despite this, ~~the~~ small nosferatu can prove worthwhile if you~~'re at risk for losing your disruptor point on~~ your target ~~due to capacitor running out~~. As with other high slot modules, you should ~~never compromise~~ your mid slot modules ~~in order~~ to ~~use a nosferatu when putting together a tackler~~. You can read more on capacitor warfare [[Capacitor Warfare Guide|here]].

An additional option for high slots on a tackler is a small nosferatu (aka nos or vampire) - this module will drain capacitor from your target and give it to you, which will help keep your modules running. Most small nosferatus require you to be at quite close range (5500m to 6000m), so they may not be practical if you don't want to fight within stasis webifier range of your target. Despite this, a small nosferatu can prove worthwhile since it reduces the chance of you running out of capacitor and your target escaping. As with other high slot modules, you should avoid compromising your mid and low slot modules just to get one to fit. You can read more on capacitor warfare [[Capacitor Warfare Guide|here]].
