==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Kronos is the Gallente Marauder-class battleship. The Kronos is a behemoth of a ship that can roll over almost any challenger with ease due to its monstrous tank, mixed flight of heavy and medium drones, bonus to armor rep, and four double-damage hybrid turrets (the ship's bonuses favoring blasters).
The '''Kronos''' is the Gallente [[Marauder]]-class battleship. The Kronos is a behemoth of a ship that can roll over almost any challenger with ease due to its monstrous tank, mixed flight of heavy and medium drones, bonus to armor rep, and four double-damage hybrid turrets (the ship's bonuses favoring blasters). While a blaster-fitted Kronos has extraordinarily high damage, the bastion module immobilizing the Kronos can lead to range issues, but it is a prodigious brawler if it can get close.
 
As with all Marauders, it has several utility high slots, which are intended to be fit with tractors and salvagers to make an all-in-one PvE ship.
 
== Skills ==
The Kronos is an extremely expensive Tech 2 hull, and as such deserves excellent skills.
* {{sk|Large Hybrid Turret}} and {{sk|Motion Prediction}} to V to use Tech 2 Large Blasters. Alternatively, train {{sk|Sharpshooter}} to V instead of Motion Prediction to use Tech 2 Large Railguns.
* {{sk|Trajectory Analysis}}, {{sk|Controlled Bursts}}, {{sk|Surgical Strike}}, {{sk|Rapid Firing}}, {{sk|Sharpshooter}}, and {{sk|Motion Prediction}} to at least IV, preferably V. Motion Prediction and Sharpshooter V are prerequisites for large blasters and railguns respectively.
* {{sk|Large Railgun Specialization}} and {{sk|Large Blaster Specialization}} to IV to take advantage of the DPS buff that these skills provide to their respective weapons.
* {{sk|Marauders}} to at least IV.
* All of the skills for a full T2 armor tank and for T2 drones.


The Marauder class in general is designed for PvE use, and has several built-in weaknesses designed to prevent them from being overpowered in PvP. It has low sensor strength, meaning it is vulnerable to ECM. It also has low scan resolution (even by battleship standards), meaning it will take a great deal of time to lock small targets. Thus, without support, a Kronos can be nickle-and-dimed while being pointed, jammed, and kited by smaller vessels. For a similar vessel more slanted to PvP performance, try the [[Vindicator]].
== Tactics ==
The Kronos is the highest DPS Marauder, but pays for that by being the shortest ranged. The Kronos struggles in solo PvE due to its awful range when blaster fit and its poor tracking and low damage when rail fit. Despite its marauder ability to use armor reps to shrug off 200+ DPS before its ridiculous resists, the Kronos struggles with capacitor. In fact, the Kronos ironically has more cap issues than the [[Paladin]] due to the Paly's bonus to energy turret activation cost. Despite these drawbacks, the bastion module can cover a multitude of sins, and the Kronos still sees use as a solo PvE ship for L4s and anomalies. The Kronos shines best in fleet PvE operations such as [[Incursions]] and [[Stronghold]]s where its weak capacitor and lack of application are less of an issue and where its insane damage are highly valued.


As with all Marauders, it has several utility high slots, which are intended to be fit with tractors and salvagers to make an all-in-one PvE ship.
== Notes ==
In ancient Greek mythology, Kronos was the leader of the Titans and the father of Zeus. [[Rhea]] was his consort.
