Despite their efforts to improve the handling of the ship, this notoriously sluggish hull's agility took a backseat to the need to pack in new drone stowage and advanced combat drone management systems.

== Summary ==

The Alligator feels like an expensive straight upgrade for the [[Drake]]. While its [[missile]] DPS is almost the same, with ~~heat~~ damage ~~type option included~~ and range ~~decreased~~, the game changer is [[drone]] DPS. As a result, total DPS could be almost twice as much.

The Alligator feels like an expensive straight upgrade for the [[Drake]]. While its [[missile]] DPS is almost the same, with the exception of the thermal damage bonus and decreased range, the game changer is [[drone]] DPS. As a result, the total DPS could be almost twice as much.

[[Tank]] is ~~practically~~ the same as the Drake, making it a boat that forgives many newbie mistakes. Yet that is still not enough to solo every L3 mission, as a few have rooms capable of breaking through the Alligator's shield. Yet for ~~those~~ missions that do not have those rooms, Alligator's DPS makes mission running faster.

[[Tank]] is somewhat the same as the Drake. The Alligator does have 50% more shield hit points, meaning a passive shield tank will be stronger, making it a boat that forgives many newbie mistakes. Yet that is still not enough to solo every L3 mission, as a few have rooms capable of breaking through the Alligator's shield. Yet for the missions that do not have those rooms, the Alligator's DPS makes mission running faster.

For PvP the Alligator is an expensive clumsy Jack-of-all-trades, lacking DPS, range, or speed to perform any PvP role well.

Blueprint copies for the Alligator can be purchased from insurgency LP stores in Zarzakh or the Gurista FOB.
