{{sk|Jury Rigging|III}} and {{sk|Electronic Superiority Rigging|I}} will also let you fit the Particle Dispersion Projector rig, which increases the optimal range of your damps. Letting you stand off even further from the enemy while still landing your damps 100%. This will of course mean you also need {{sk|Long Range Targeting|V}} in addition to fitting a Signal Amplifier - which requires {{sk|Electronics Upgrades}} Getting this to V means you can fit the T2 version, even further increasing your locking range.

The Celestis' solid drone bay capacity and drone bandwidth also afford several tactical options. When engaging kiting gangs, [[Drones#Light.2C medium and heavy drones|Warrior IIs]] (due to their enhanced speed relative to other light drones) and [[Electronic Countermeasures#ECM equipment and ships|ECM drones]] are recommended. Try to get the medium ECM drones if you can fit them in the drone bay. ECM drones can break the lock of tacklers or other hostiles who manage to get in range of you, and then you can damp their sensor resolution so they are mostly rendered crippled and ineffective.

With its recent prevalent use, the Celestis is one of the first things an enemy FC will look to primary, given its use as anti-logi and possibly breaking/disrupting their reps and cap chains. Therefore, when flying this boat, arrive 'fashionably late'. Let the DPS ships and brick tanks arrive on the field first to draw aggro. If possible, prevent yourself from getting fleet/squad warped with (default={{button|ctrl}} - {{button|space}}) and warp to a fleetmate already in the battle at your optimal range. Once on grid, align to a random celestial, and then begin your damps. If you are so much as target locked ("yellow boxed"), warp out and bounce back to the field from another angle of attack, and repeat. Your are no use to your fleet/FC dead by being targeted and destroyed by the enemy at the first instant of battle.

Do not just limit yourself to targeting logi though; any typical sniper boat, like the [[Oracle]] and [[Tornado]] will need attention from your damps to allow your gang/fleet to get within range without getting fleetmates destroyed every time the enemy cycles their lasers/artillery. If there are no logi/snipers among the enemy, then let your damps fall on the primary as called by the FC to help curb outgoing enemy DPS/target locks.

''Every Cruiser, Battlecruiser and Battleship now warps faster than before.''
