Caldari Dreadnought. The Phoenix used to be unpopular due to the dominance of armor capitals and the delayed damage of missiles. It shined, however, in two main roles. One form is an ultra-long-range "B52" fit for bashing Upwell structures from beyond their weapons/tackle range. The other main use is as a High Angle Weapon ("HAW") fit, designed to apply huge damage to small targets. A HAW Phoenix fitted with Rapid Torpedo Launchers can apply its DPS to smaller targets better than any other Dread while carrying a huge active tank and being virtually immune to Neut pressure. This makes it a favored choice in the very niche community of pilots who attempt to roam solo in Dreadnoughts.

The Phoenix has since come back into popularity due to its strong tank, VERY high damage with XL torpedoes, and its versatility as both an anti-capital and HAW platform.
