==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Talos is, essentially, a giant glass cannon: it can vaporize a ship in record time, but can't withstand much of anything. Unfortunately, the Talos doesn't receive the same amount of love that the other three do, being made for blasters and not railguns, and thus unfit for the sniper combat it's compatriates are often used for. If you insist on taking one into close quarters combat, expect to be primaried above even the notorious Deimos.
With a damage and a tracking bonus, the '''Talos''' focuses on blasters, providing very high DPS, but limited range. In short, it has the DPS of a [[Megathron]] and the tank of a [[Thorax]]. However, with the range of heavy blasters and the second highest speed of the attack battlecruisers a shield-tanking Talos can be an effective kiter. A very good write-up is [http://www.evealtruist.com/2012/01/know-your-enemy-tier-3-battlecruisers.html Know Your Enemy - Tier 3 Battlecruisers] (January 2012) by The Altruist.
 
== Skills ==
''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Talos for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.''
 
== Tactics ==
The Talos can be fit for close-range blaster suicide ganking Exhumers in low-end (~0.5 security rating) high security space. Having 8 high slots and damage bonuses make it quite suitable for that purpose and extra DPS can be squeezed with boosters. Kinetic and thermal damage reduction might be preferable to spread out resistances if there are Talos sightings around ice or ore belts, but ultimately it might be safer to dock or flee before they get on grid and at close range.
