== Summary ==

The Stabber is the fastest T1 cruiser, with a bonus that significantly boosts the range of projectile weapons. This is a good ship for pilots interested in "speed tanking" and/or in kiting tactics.

In PvP fleets the Stabber can be fitted as a large tackler or an anti-frigate, anti-destroyer platform, or as mobile DPS. For solo and small-gang PvP the Stabber can be fitted to kite around the edge of warp disruption range, outrunning and outranging anything it can't out-damage.

A competently-piloted Stabber can cope with light PvE, such as Level 2 combat missions, but the [[Rupture]] is more durable and is likely to be a more optimal and forgiving choice for PvE.

== Skills ==

As a T1 combat cruiser, the Stabber is a relatively non-specialized ship which benefits from the same broad set of [[support skills]] that help with most ships; {{sk|Minmatar Cruiser}} and skills relevant to [[Turrets#Projectile turrets|projectile turrets]] will obviously have a big influence on its abilities.

 

* {{sk|Navigation}}: 5% faster sub-warp speed per level

 

 

* {{sk|Trajectory Analysis}}: 5% bonus per level to falloff; falloff is the Stabber's great strength and more of it is good

 

T1 cruisers are also the point at which most growing pilots begin to fly ships which can launch a full flight of five drones; the Stabber is one such ship, and pilots beginning to fly cruisers will want to get to {{sk|Drones}} IV or (better) V fairly quickly. Five light drones add extra mobile and precise DPS to the ship and are useful for dealing with frigates and enemy drones.

 

 

Compared to its sibling the [[Rupture]], the Stabber trades out some durability and one projectile DPS bonus in return for a higher base speed and an unusual bonus to projectile turret [[Turret mechanics#range|falloff]]. The falloff bonus pushes the falloff range on 425mm autocannon out to about 26km with close-range ammo when a pilot has Minmatar Cruiser V. T2 425mm autocannon loaded with the special T2 ammo Barrage can achieve a falloff of about ''40km''; with short-range ammo loaded, they can reach out to the edge of warp disruption range. The practical upshot of this combination of range and speed is that an autocannon-fit Stabber can kite effectively at the edge of warp disruptor range (24km); it doesn't have the highest on-paper DPS, but—especially with Barrage—it can apply meaningful DPS at a range where other ships with medium-sized close-range weapons will struggle. Since it has autocannon, the kiting Stabber can easily switch to short-range, high-damage ammo to close in on frigates and destroyers, or to fly in "under the guns" of larger opponents with larger, slow-tracking weapons.
