Development Ideally suited for both skirmish warfare and fleet support, the Catalyst is touted as one of the best anti-frigate platforms out there. Faced with its top-of-the-line tracking equipment, not many can argue.

Summary

The Catalyst is a Gallente destroyer. Its bonuses favor blasters, though it can also be rail fit. It has 2 mids, allowing it to fit a tackle module, and 3 low slots for an armor tank. Unfortunately the Catalyst is still a destroyer, so it has a large signature for its tank, making it vulnerable to cruiser weapons, and it's slow speed and lack of mid slots means it will have difficulty dictating range against frigates, which is important for a blaster ship. A railgun fit Catalyst is a very fast L1 mission runner, but has trouble tanking level 2s. The catalyst's very high damage at short range makes it the ship of choice for high sec suicide ganks, as it is able to easily reach 900 Dps with T2 guns.

Like all destroyers, the Catalyst is also a great entry-level salvager ship on a player's path to a Noctis.

• This fitting should also work well against Kristan Parthus.

• The low slots on a salvaging boat can vary. The co-processor is only needed if you lack cpu, CPU Management IV will give enough cpu to fit a third Capacitor Power Relay I. The capacitor power relays help run the modules for longer periods of time, especially if cap skills are low. Cargo expanders can be of use in missions with many wrecks to loot. Even with cargo expanders, a destroyer will often run out of cargo space in level 4 missions.
• Rigs are optional, they are very expensive for most newbies.

Tactics

Catalysts are the epitome of the Destroyer as a disposable DPS platform; even without a hull bonus, 8 blasters provide firepower better than some cruisers. Unfortunately, blasters have very short ranges and the Catalyst struggles to get in and stay in range due to its low speed, thin tank, and limited space for tackle and propulsion modules. This means that Catalysts have limited PvP applications outside of suicide ganking. It is possible to mitigate the ship's disadvantages by flying with fleetmates who can apply tackle and provide warp-ins on targets, increasing the likelihood of the ship living long enough to apply its impressive paper DPS

Notes

• This vessel qualifies for the University Ship Replacement Program, PYOS, and BYOM.
• Several faction variants of the Catalyst exist; these ships are seeded by CCP and so Unistas below graduate are encouraged during war to not fly them by the Wartime Standard Operating Procedures.
