No one uses that wolfpack stuff. L2 blitzer crap is gone, added a simple PvE newb fit. Added the venerable sniper corm.

==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Cormorant is the Caldari T1 destroyer. Its bonuses favor railguns, but it can be blaster fit if you like. The Cormorant has many mid slots, which allows tackle gear and/or a shield tank. Of note is that the Cormorant's hull bonus to optimal range and the destroyer role bonus to optimal range gives it a spectacular range increase for railguns, such that it can be used as a poor man's anti-frigate sniper. Besides this niche role though the Cormorant has little use in PvP. The Cormorant is however a very capable level 1 mission runner, but lacks the tank for most level 2s.
The Cormorant is a Caldari Tech 1 destroyer, designed to use hybrid turrets rather than the missiles favored by its sibling the [[Corax]].
 
The Cormorant's optimal range bonus synergizes particularly well with railguns, though it can also be effective with blasters.
 
== Skills ==
 
As a Tech 1 destroyer, often a Caldari pilot's first step out of frigate hulls, the Cormorant is a forgiving ship. Basic [[fitting skills]] and [[support skills]] are desirable, and the gunnery support skill {{sk|Sharpshooter}} especially helps railgun sniping.


==Skills==
== Tactics ==
''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Cormorant for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.''


==Fitting==
The Cormorant has many mid slots, which allows for a reasonable shield tank, within the limitations of destroyers' vulnerability to bigger ships.

{{ShipFitting
In PvP, the Cormorant has niche uses as a cheap, effective anti-frigate sniper; with Tech 2 railguns and Spike ammo, it can deal effective DPS at over 90 km. With blasters, it can manage quite high close-range DPS, backed up by [[Tackling|tackle]] in its mid slots. It is, however, outshone in this regard by the Gallente [[Catalyst]].

==Tactics==
In PvE the Cormorant can cope efficiently with Level 1 missions. Cruisers are desirable for Level 2 missions.
The Cormorant shines as a cheap sniper, able to engage at over 90 km with T2 railguns loaded with Spike. For shorter ranges, there is usually a better option, but in a pinch Cormorants, like other destroyers, can be used as disposable high-DPS ships.


==Notes==
== Notes ==
This vessel qualifies for the University [[Ship Replacement]], [[PYOS]], and [[BYOM]] programs.
 
The cormorants are a family of species of coastal aquatic birds which hunt fish. In their fish diet, they are like the [[Osprey]], though unlike ospreys they are not raptors.
