== Summary ==

The Navitas is the Gallente [[Frigates#Logistics Frigates|Logistics Frigate]]; Navitas pilots repair their fleetmates’ ships during battle. The Navitas is bonused for remote armor repair, which matches the Gallente racial focus on armor tanking. The ship’s bonuses to remote armor repairer amount, activation, and range make the underwhelming base stats of small remote armor repairers practically useful. Flying the Navitas is a great first step in learning about [[Logistics]]. Navitas pilots often go on to train into heavier Tech I logistics cruisers (such as the Gallente [[Exequror]]), and then Tech II logistics ships (including the [[Thalia]] and [[Oneiros]]). But the Navitas is also effective all on its own, especially as a component of frigate or destroyer gangs, where speed is key.

One defining challenge of flying Tech I logistics frigates in general, and the Navitas in particular, is sustaining enough capacitor to run the ship. Remote repair modules are extremely cap-intensive, so the Navitas is typically fit to boost available capacitor—with cap rechargers in mid slots, capacitor control circuit or remote repair augmentor rigs, and, if necessary, “Enduring” remote armor repairers (which consume less cap). Training character skills that boost capacitor will also help. It might seem that fitting the Navitas with an afterburner instead of a microwarpdrive (MWD) could spare some capacitor. But the Navitas needs to keep up with its small-ship fleetmates in order to repair them, so it usually needs an MWD. Pilots fitting the Navitas should use the in-game fitting simulation window, or an out-of-game tool like [[Pyfa]], to match any fit to their specific skills and to gauge the ship’s cap stability. (This also means you may need to swap out modules on any pre-fit Navitas hulls that you purchase on corp contracts, to make them work with your skills.)

Compared to the Amarr [[Inquisitor]]—the other Tech I armor logistics frigate—the Navitas has less tank and less native capacitor. The Navitas is fine, but frigate logi pilots are encouraged to cross-train into the Amarr logistics frigate if they can.

== Tactics ==

New Navitas pilots should read the [[Logistics#Logistics organization and tactics|Tactics section of the UniWiki’s Logistics guide]], and attend a [[Logistics (CORE class)]]; these will provide some details on how to fly logistics frigates. Some tips on flying the Navitas:

 

 

 

* '''Stay moving, behind your fleetmates.''' One advantage of the Navitas is its small signature radius, which makes the ship difficult to hit. But this is only an advantage if you aren’t sitting still, so always be moving. Given this, you might be tempted to right-click your repair target and “Orbit at…” your optimal range. Keep in mind, though, that this will sometimes send your fragile frigate closer to the enemy than the damage dealers. Better, instead, to manually fly in a ring orbit behind the fleet, so that you keep range and stay out of the action. Make sure you stay near other logi pilots in case you need to repair each other - separating logi on either side of your fleet can make logi a target.
