| ==Summary== | | == Summary == |
| The Thorax is a gun boat, designed to use hybrid turrets. In PvP the Thorax is used as a hard hitting blaster boat. This can be highly effective but is very "do or die", and will make most Thoraxes' lives glorious but short. In PvE, the Thorax is less popular; the slow and steady style of the [[Vexor]] is more suited to mission running. Despite this the Thorax can be popular as a first mission running cruiser, because most pilots will have trained gunnery skills while piloting frigates and destroyers, while they will probably have neglected the drone skills required to use a Vexor effectively. Having said that, the Thorax has a 50m<sup>3</sup> drone bay, so will also benefit greatly from drone skills. | | The '''Thorax''' is a gunboat, designed to use hybrid turrets. |
| | |
| | In PvP it is most commonly flown as a hard-hitting blaster boat. With its bonuses for damage and tracking, 50mb drone bandwidth and very respectable speed for a cruiser hull, a blaster Thorax can muster lots of fast-moving DPS even in the hands of a novice pilot, and can apply that DPS to a wide range of small and large targets. Such fits do not, though, tank especially well, and tend to live briefly (albeit sometimes gloriously). |
| | |
| | The Thorax's speed also opens up the possibility of kiting railgun fits, though these are seen more rarely. |
| | |
| | The Thorax can function in PvE combat, but the [[Vexor]] is a more optimal T1 Gallente cruiser for most PvE uses, as its bonused drones give it fully selectable damage type, letting pilots precisely target NPC weaknesses rather than being locked to the kinetic/thermal damage profile of hybrid turrets. |

| ==Tactics== | | == Tactics == |
| As a heavy damage dealer(usually from 230DPS up to more than 700DPS) and a weak tanker(usually less than 20k in EHP), Thorax can be often primaried in fleet combat.
| |
|
| |
|
| For this reason, it might be better to decloak after your fleet has engaged ---- dont be the hero, since you have MWD fitted on most thorax fits it might only take you seconds to join the battle. If you do so, even if the enemy turns on you(which become less likely in large scaled battle), you have earned your teammate a good respite from focused fire.
| | '''PvP''' |
| | In a blaster Thorax, pilots should usually attempt to close with the enemy: they wield high potential DPS, but need to be at short range. Consider your optimal warp-in range on most targets to be 0. Thoraxes can have a shot at running in "under the guns" of turret battleships, getting close enough that they cannot be tracked by large turrets. Don't forget to launch your drones and let them loose on the enemy too. |
|
| |
|
| Even though Thorax is usally a gunboat, drones can be a good part of your DPS, they have a good range(more than 25km), better accuracy on small targets, and they are not affected by ewar usually, so always remember to launch the drones in battle.
| | If you're using hybrid turrets and haven't already familiarized yourself with [[Turrets#Hybrid ammo|their ammo]], stepping into cruiser hulls is a good moment to do so. As a rule of thumb, for T1 blasters consider bringing three types distributed across the range possibilities; one of the three should be Antimatter for maximal DPS at close range. |
|
| |
|
| At last, hybrid turrets can change ammos in a short time, if you are using T2 medium blasters, bring a round full(400 for neutron, 600 for ion, 1000 for electron) of Null M charges with you just in case(they could be quite useful in OGC-like situations).
| | In a gang of ships no larger than cruiser size, expect your Thorax to be an early primary target for the enemy, as it will probably be perceived as a significant DPS threat with a weak tank. |

| This vessel qualifies for the University [[Ship Replacement Program]], [[PYOS]], and [[BYOM]].
| | In anatomy, ''thorax'' is used to refer to the middle of the body in mammals and insects, making this possibly the only ship in EVE to unite etymology and entomology. Given the strong strain of Ancient Greek running through Gallente ship names, however, the Thorax might also be named from the old Greek meaning of the word, "breastplate" or "cuirass". |

| | |
| | ''We’re giving the Thorax a bit more thrust and making fitting it feel less tight by improving the powergrid output it has so it’ll be easier to fit higher caliber weapons and have an easier time getting in range for blasters.'' |
| | |
| | * Powergrid Output improved from 820 to 860 MW. |
| | * Maximum Velocity improved from 240 to 250 m/s. |
| | |
| | '''October 2019 Release - 2019-10-15.1''' |
| | |
| | ''Every Cruiser, Battlecruiser and Battleship now warps faster than before.'' |
| | * Warp Speed increased from 3 AU/s to 4 AU/s (+1 AU/s) |
