==Summary==
== Summary ==
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 Tier 3 battlecruisers a shield-tanking Talos can be an effective kiter. A very good write-up can be found [http://www.evealtruist.com/2012/01/know-your-enemy-tier-3-battlecruisers.html here].
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.

The Talos was a contestant in the create a starship contest.
