==Summary==
+
== Summary ==
 +
The Bellicose is the Minmatar [[electronic warfare]] cruiser: it has a bonus to the effectiveness of target painters.
 +
 
 +
Target painting is more situational in its usefulness than the other types of EWAR, and the [[Vigil]]'s target painters have a longer range than those of the Bellicose. However, the Bellicose is tougher and, like the Amarr [[Arbitrator]], the Bellicose has a secondary bonus for combat, in this case for the rate of fire of Light, Heavy and Heavy Assault Missile Launchers. In fact, the Bellicose is the only EWAR cruiser which can use its electronic warfare directly to assist its own bonused weapons, as well as its allies.
 +
 
 +
== Skills ==
 +
The Bellicose is an affordable and fairly forgiving ship, with relatively few specifically important skills; general [[support skills]] and [[fitting skills]] will help it. [[Skills:Missiles|Missile skills]] will help its bonused damage, while {{sk|Target Painting}} and {{sk|Signature Focusing}} directly benefit target painters.
 +
 
 +
== Tactics ==
 +
Target painters assist all weapon systems, but are especially useful for missiles, and the Bellicose can particularly help fleets or gangs using lots of missiles. The Bellicose can be shield- or armour-tanked.
 +
 
 +
== Notes ==
 +
''Bellicose'' is an adjective meaning "warlike" or "fierce".
 +

|'''Version 21.06 - Release 2024-02-20.1''' - ''Havoc Update'' ([https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-21-06 Patch Notes])
  
The Bellicose is the Minmatar E-War cruiser with bonuses for the effectiveness of target painters. Although the vigil's target painters have a longer range than those of the Bellicose, the cruiser provides a far more durable platform from which to project E-War. On top of that, like the Arbitrator, the Bellicose has a secondary bonus for combat, in this case for the rate of fire of Light, Heavy and Heavy Assault Missile Launchers, meaning that the ship can also double up as a damage dealer.
+
:''The Bellicose continues to have low usage as both an Ewar Platform and a Combat Cruiser. With the changes made to Rapid Light Missiles, we want to make sure there are strong Tech I options for going all-out with medium missiles. This is why we are increasing the speed and powergrid output of the Bellicose, to help it stand out more against the Caracal as a speedier alternative for shield setups and help enable armor setups.''
  
==Skills==
+
* Max velocity increased from 240m/s to 260m/s (+20 m/s)
''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Bellicose for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''
+
* Powergrid output increased from 700 MW to 780 MW (+80 MW)

notes=Close within 9k of a target, then activate the webs and warp scrambler. This should leave almost any frigate dead in the water, and unable to escape, given your afterburner. This setup has enough tank and DPS to outlast most T2 frigates (17,865 EHP and 273 DPS with max skills).</li><li>This is a very specialised setup for taking out frigates and destroyers, and will be at a disadvantage against other cruisers or larger ships.</li><li>The resist rigs have been chosen because they provide a similar EHP to Medium Core Defense Field Extender Is, and cost significantly less.</li><li>This setup is not ideal for solo work, because your targets of choice will often be reluctant to take a fight with a ship known for its ability to destroy frigates, and will usually be able to escape before you have a chance to lock them.}}
 
  
==Tactics==
+
:''The Bellicose gets picked on a bit too much and so we’ll keep buffing it until it’s the toughest kid in school (probably kidding). While support cruisers aren’t expected to be that strong in combat, the bellicose was seeing very low use compared to other support cruiser options, so we want to lift it up a bit more by giving it a little more bite. Increase in drone bandwidth makes this the only Minmatar cruiser capable of supporting a full flight of medium drones.''

Being a highly versatile class of Minmatar ships, the Bellicose has been used as a combat juggernaut as well as a support ship for wings of frigates. While not quite in the league of newer navy cruisers, the Bellicose is still a very solid ship for most purposes, especially in terms of long range combat.

SHIP BONUSES

Minmatar Cruiser bonuses (per skill level):
5% bonus to Rapid Light Missile, Heavy Missile and Heavy Assault Missile Launcher rate of fire
7.5% bonus to Target Painter effectiveness
7.5% bonus to Heavy Missile and Heavy Assault Missile explosion velocity

Summary

The Bellicose is the Minmatar electronic warfare cruiser: it has a bonus to the effectiveness of target painters.

Target painting is more situational in its usefulness than the other types of EWAR, and the Vigil's target painters have a longer range than those of the Bellicose. However, the Bellicose is tougher and, like the Amarr Arbitrator, the Bellicose has a secondary bonus for combat, in this case for the rate of fire of Light, Heavy and Heavy Assault Missile Launchers. In fact, the Bellicose is the only EWAR cruiser which can use its electronic warfare directly to assist its own bonused weapons, as well as its allies.

Skills

The Bellicose is an affordable and fairly forgiving ship, with relatively few specifically important skills; general support skills and fitting skills will help it. Missile skills will help its bonused damage, while Target Painting and Signature Focusing directly benefit target painters.

Tactics

Target painters assist all weapon systems, but are especially useful for missiles, and the Bellicose can particularly help fleets or gangs using lots of missiles. The Bellicose can be shield- or armour-tanked.

Notes

Bellicose is an adjective meaning "warlike" or "fierce".
