== 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].

== 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 began in YC 110 as an R&D concept by ORE. Conceived as a patrol craft for mining operations in lawless space, the Talos would have been abandoned completely were it not adopted by the Black Eagles, a black-ops branch of the Gallente government. The Black Eagles stripped the Talos of non-essential systems and bolted on battleship-class weapons, creating a quick-strike craft ideal for guerilla action.

The Talos remained a military secret until YC 113, when it was introduced into wider circulation as a third tier battlecruiser. Today the Talos is manufactured by Duvolle Labs, who modified the original ORE designs to bring it in line with Gallente standards.

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 attack battlecruisers a shield-tanking Talos can be an effective kiter. A very good write-up can be found here.

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.

Notes

The Talos was a contestant in create a starship contest.
