However, the Dragoon's 5 high slots, makes it a good potential PVE ship with salvage capability while keeping its full complement of launchers or turrets. | ||

Drone support skills make a big difference to the Dragoon's potential DPS, and for serious PvP work T2 light drones are strongly desirable. | ||
Like other Amarr ships, the Dragoon lives by its capacitor, and capacitor skills—notably {{sk|Capacitor Management}} and {{sk|Capacitor Systems Operation}}—really help it, as does the skill which reduces the capacitor burden of energy neutralizers, {{sk|Capacitor Emission Systems}}. It's good to have these trained to at least IV. | Like other Amarr ships, the Dragoon lives by its capacitor, and capacitor skills—notably {{sk|Capacitor Management}} and {{sk|Capacitor Systems Operation}}—really help it, as does the skill which reduces the capacitor burden of energy neutralizers, {{sk|Capacitor Emission Systems}}.

With T2 drones and decent support skills, the Dragoon's drones can make short work of most frigates too slow to outrun them, and can add DPS to a gang's efforts against larger targets. | With T2 drones and decent support skills, the Dragoon's drones can make short work of most frigates too slow to outrun them, and can add DPS to a gang's efforts against larger targets. | ||
In PVE, the Dragoon's relatively low tank limits its ability to take on particularly large targets or large [[combat sites]], but a capsuleer can with relative ease take on level 3 combat sites by taking advantage of the drones and extending their control range letting you kite out of range of missile batteries and other defence platforms. The extra 2 high slots lets you use these for quicker salvage instead of capacitor warfare. | |||
