* Then we will dive right in and discuss every T1 sub-cap Caldari ship. Keep in mind that we are not going to go deep into Caldari ship theory crafting here, this is an overview class so we will just skim the surface.

* Good for PvE
==== General Characteristics ====

* Popular bonuses of shield resistances, weapon range, and kinetic missile damage
* Excellent damage projection and damage type selection of missiles coupled with advantages of shield tanking makes superb PvE ships
* Slowest base speeds of all of the races, somewhat offset by use of shield tanks
* Tend to have larger range than other races, occasionally at the cost of damage potential
* High CPU / Low PG ??????????


==== Shield Tank ====
==== Shield Tank ====
* Caldari ships almost always shield tanked
* Provides protection at the cost of increased signature radius
** Passive-regen tanks on some ships for PvE
** Does not affect speed or agility like armor tanking
** Active shield tanks for PvE or solo/small-gang PvP
* Three main types
** Buffer shield tanks for PvP
** Passive tanking
* Active shield tanks can tank more DPS than armor, but for a shorter time
*** Great for PvE
* Smaller buffer
*** Reduces reliance on capacitor
* Shield tanks do not reduce agility and speed, unlike armor tanks
** Active tanking
* Shield extenders and rigs increase your signature radius
*** Useful for PvE and small-gang PvP
*** Able to react to damage spikes
*** Less efficient than active armor tanking
** Buffer tanking
*** Used for fleet PvP
*** Allows logistics time to save you
