'''Destroyers''' are larger ships than [[frigates]], but they still mount the same small-sized modules that frigates use. The Tech 1 destroyers have a large number of high slots, giving them a lot of firepower for their size and cost and making them good at [[salvaging]]. The Tech 2 destroyers have unique abilities: [[Interdictor]] can launch warp disruption probes in [[nullsec]] and [[wormhole]]s to prevent groups of enemy ships from warping away, and Command Destroyers can provide link boosts and utilize Micro Jump Field Generators to move nearby ships 100 km away. Tactical destroyers, the Tech 3 destroyers, have exceptional flexibility and firepower. | '''Destroyers''' are larger ships than [[frigates]], but they still mount the same small-sized modules that frigates use.

* | * {{sh|Catalyst}}: Bonuses to tracking and turret falloff range; possibly the best salvaging destroyer, and certainly the one with the highest potential cargo hold after accounting for rigs and expanders. When fitted with blasters, has one of the best DPS to cost ratios in the game, and is very popular for suicide ganking. | ||
* | * {{sh|Algos}}: Drone destroyer, bonuses to drone range and damage, as well as small hybrids. A good PvE ship thanks to the range afforded by drones. | ||
=== Minmatar === | === Minmatar === | ||
* | * {{sh|Thrasher}}: Bonuses to tracking and turret damage; amazing [[Alpha Strike|alpha strike]] when fitted with artillery. | ||

Designed to snipe like its tech 1 parent. | * {{Sh|Cormorant Navy Issue}}: Gains a mid slot and a bonus to shield boosting.

Interdictors are highly specialized ships used for deploying warp disruption probes (also known as "bubbles"), which prevent ships inside them from warping away. They are based on the four turret destroyer hulls, however oddly two of them use missiles. As bubbles cannot be deployed in high or lowsec, Interdictors are almost exclusively seen in [[nullsec]] and [[wormhole]]s. | Interdictors are highly specialized ships used for deploying warp disruption probes (also known as "bubbles"), which prevent ships inside them from warping away.

* {{sh|Flycatcher}} | * {{sh|Flycatcher}}: Extremely thick shields for its size, but with only 1 Low slot it must choose between speed and resiliance | ||
* {{sh|Eris}} | * {{sh|Eris}}: For years the least popular Interdictor as it was outperformed by all the others. On paper, the highest-DPS and fastest Interdictor, but also the most fragile. | ||
* {{sh|Sabre}} | * {{sh|Sabre}}: For years the most popular Interdictor by far, because of its high speed, durable shields, and reliable ability to fit a rack of Autocannons with which to kill any ship it can catch. | ||

Most Command Destroyers (other than the Draugur) do not use weapons, forgoing them to gain room to fit more durability or more Command Bursts, and assuming that they will be flown by alt accounts and not be paid attention to. | Most Command Destroyers (other than the Draugur) do not use weapons, forgoing them to gain room to fit more durability or more Command Bursts, and assuming that they will be flown by alt accounts and not be paid attention to. | ||
* {{sh|Pontifex}} | * {{sh|Pontifex}}: Heavily armored, and thus most able to survive while projecting Armor bursts. Bonus to Armor and Information Command Bursts. | ||
* {{sh|Bifrost}} | * {{sh|Bifrost}}: Fast and evasive, the best choice as a 'backpack' ship for fast attack cruisers. Bonus to Shield and Skirmish Command Bursts. | ||
* {{sh|Stork}} | * {{sh|Stork}}: Heavily shielded, thus most able to survive while projecting Shield bursts. Bonus to Shield and Information Command Bursts. | ||
* {{sh|Magus}} | * {{sh|Magus}}: Easily underestimated, but a powerful ambusher and duelist able to separate lone targets from their friends and pick them apart with its drones. Bonus to Armor and Skirmish Command Bursts. | ||
* {{sh|Draugur}} | * {{sh|Draugur}}: Less a traditional 'Command Destroyer' and more a direct evolution of the Kikimora. Retains the Kikimora's damage and much of its speed, but gains much more durability, alongside Command Bursts and the Micro Jump Field Generator. Bonus to Skirmish and Information Command Bursts. | ||

'''Tactical Destroyers''' are the Tech III variant of destroyers. These are unique hulls, not based on existing T1 ships. Tactical Destroyers are able to attain higher mobility, damage, and tank than any other destroyers, but they must select which of these three bonuses to assume at one time. | '''Tactical Destroyers''' are the Tech III variant of destroyers.
