The Thrasher can be an effective anti-frigate platform in PvE (L1 missions) or PvP. It is rarely seen in fleet combat, but its cheap cost makes it popular with suicide gankers. | The Thrasher can be an effective anti-frigate platform in PvE (L1 missions) or PvP.

The Minmatar Scythe is a ship most often seen used as a mining cruiser, given that it receives a strong mining laser bonus per level of the Minmatar Cruiser skillbook. In addition to mining, it also gains a bonus to tracking links which assist friendly ships using turret-based weapons with boosts to their tracking speed. | The Minmatar Scythe is a ship most often seen used as a mining cruiser, given that it receives a strong mining laser bonus per level of the Minmatar Cruiser skillbook.

If you plan on moving into ships that utilize speed tanking or avoidance tactics this is a good ship to practice with. It can be fit as a tackle ship or an anti-frigate platform. Unfortunately it lacks the grid and CPU to fit the artillery or the combination of autocannon and tracking enhancers that would make it a viable kiting ship. | If you plan on moving into ships that utilize speed tanking or avoidance tactics this is a good ship to practice with.

The Cyclone is inferior to the Hurricane in most situations, but it has a few niche uses. With a shield booster and capacitor booster support, and possibly bonuses from expensive implants and combat drugs, the Cyclone can mount a decent active tank. Such a fit can work well as a solo or small gang PvP ship. | The Cyclone is inferior to the Hurricane in most situations, but it has a few niche uses.

In PvP the 'cane can be fitted as a simple, armour-buffered short-range bruiser, or as a fast, kiting, shield-tanked 'nanocane', or as a shield-tanked, medium-range high-alpha artillery platform. Roaming gangs of shield Hurricanes with Scimitar logistic support are a fearsome sight and a highly effective combat fleet. | In PvP the 'cane can be fitted as a simple, armour-buffered short-range bruiser, or as a fast, kiting, shield-tanked 'nanocane', or as a shield-tanked, medium-range high-alpha artillery platform.

The Maelstrom is the usual choice for running Level 4 missions, which it does quite well (Ships like the Vargur and Machariel outperform it, but cost much more, both in ISK and in skill training time). 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 autocannon instead. | The Maelstrom is the usual choice for running Level 4 missions, which it does quite well (Ships like the Vargur and Machariel outperform it, but cost much more, both in ISK and in skill training time).

Tempests tend to be armor tanked, utilizing the high number of low slots, though they are sometimes shield tanked as well. For PVP, the Tempest can fit a armor buffer tank, or go for a nano autocannon and heavy neut kiting fit. | Tempests tend to be armor tanked, utilizing the high number of low slots, though they are sometimes shield tanked as well.

The Hoarder is the mid-level ship for the Minmatar industials, although it does have a greater amount of cargo space than what you'd expect from the mid-level ship. Some starter industrialists find the Hoarder more valuable than the Wreathe as their first Minmatar industrial. | The Hoarder is the mid-level ship for the Minmatar industials, although it does have a greater amount of cargo space than what you'd expect from the mid-level ship.
