==Summary==

The '''Panther''' is the Minmatar [[Black Ops]]. It has extensive bonuses to projectile turrets. Further it has the highest base speed of all battleships. But as it has a high mass of nearly 150 kt, its [[Propulsion_equipment#Sizes_and_mass_effects|speed with a propulsion module]] isn’t as impressive.

Panthers are commonly armor buffer tanked and fill a DPS role. Despite the Panther’s DPS bonuses which make the five turret hardpoints correspond to ten unbonused turrets it cannot reach the [[Redeemer]]’s DPS which corresponds to twelve unbonused turrets and usually also fits a damage mod more. The Panther’s additional mid (for a web) and high (for another neut) don’t compensate for the lower DPS.  

Due to the Panther’s high speed, it’s also sometimes fitted for a kiting approach with nanos. The idea is to pull range with a heated MWD cycle while being cloaked.
