==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Catalyst is the gallente destroyer. Its bonuses favor blasters, though it can also be rail fit. It has 2 mids, allowing it to fit a tackle module, and 3 low slots for an armor tank. Unfortunately the catalyst is still a destroyer, so it has a large signature for its tank, making it vulnerable to cruiser weapons, and it's slower than a frigate meaning it will have difficulty staying in blaster range.
The Catalyst's bonuses favor blasters, though it can also be rail fit. It has 2 mids, allowing it to fit a tackle module, and 3 low slots for a basic armor tank.


A railgun fit catalyst is however a very fast l1 mission runner, but has trouble tanking level 2s.
Unfortunately, the Catalyst is still a destroyer, so it has a large signature for its tank, making it vulnerable to cruiser weapons, and its slow speed and lack of mid slots means it will have difficulty dictating range against frigates, which is important for a blaster ship. A railgun fit Catalyst is a very fast L1 mission runner but has trouble tanking level 2s.


==Skills==
The Catalyst's very high damage at short range, and its cheap cost, make it a popular choice for [[Suicide Ganking]] in High Sec space.
''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Catalyst for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''


==Fitting==
Like all destroyers, the Catalyst is also a great entry-level salvager ship on a player's path to a [[Noctis]] (in unsafe areas like wormhole systems pilots often fly destroyers even if they have the skills for the Noctis).

Being a Tech 1 destroyer and potentially a pilot's first step up from frigate hulls, the Catalyst is quite forgiving. Basic [[fitting skills]] and [[support skills]] are desirable.

Catalysts are the epitome of the destroyer as a disposable DPS platform; even without a hull bonus, 8 blasters provide firepower better than some cruisers. Unfortunately, blasters have very short ranges and the Catalyst struggles to get in and stay in range due to its low speed, thin tank, and limited space for tackle and propulsion modules.

This means that Catalysts have limited PvP applications outside of suicide ganking. It is possible to mitigate the ship's disadvantages by flying with fleetmates who can apply tackle and provide warp-ins on targets, increasing the likelihood of the ship living long enough to apply its impressive paper DPS. Some doctrines use a blob of Catalysts assisted by tackling ships to deliver cheap, disposable damage.

== Notes ==
* Switch the Micro Auxiliary Power Core I to Adaptive Nano Plating I (omni tanking) or Reactive Plating I (to fill the explosive hole in armor tanking, especially when facing Angel Cartel rats) if you have sufficient powergrid.
* Fit three Small Capacitor Control Circuit I rigs if you can afford it (requires Jury Rigging I and Mechanic III).

{{Fittings
In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance that speeds up a reaction when present and is not consumed in the reaction itself. The word is used more broadly as a dead metaphor for a factor or entity which causes or speeds up change.

[[Category:Ship Database]]
* The low slots on a salvaging boat can vary. The co-processor is only needed if you lack cpu, Electronics IV will give enough cpu to fit a third Capacitor Power Relay I. The capacitor power relays help running the modules for longer periods of time, especially if cap skills are low. Cargo expanders can be of use in missions with many wrecks to loot. Even with cargo expanders, a destroyer will often run out of cargo space in level 4 missions.
[[Category:Standard Destroyers]]
* Rigs are optional, they are very expensive for most newbies.
* If salvaging sleeper sites in wormhole space, it is recommended to replace one tractor and one salvager by a prototype cloaking device and a core probe launcher.
