==Summary==

The Corax is the Caldari destroyer introduced in the [http://www.eveonline.com/retribution/ Retribution] expansion.  New Caldari players who enjoyed the missile-centric playstyle of the [[Kestrel]] now have the option of flying a destroyer-class missileboat on their way to piloting a [[Caracal]], rather than being forced into the Gunnery-based [[Cormorant]].

As a ship, the Corax functions quite well as a sniper, with its large number of high slots.  Since it has a small, fragile tank, it functions best engaging enemies at ranges larger than 20Km.  By keeping enemies at range and using its nimble body to its full advantage, the competent Corax pilot should have no trouble running L1s and most L2s.  This same philosophy has made the Corax a fearsome PvP destroyer, able to kite most ships with relative ease.

The Corax can be effectively flown with very low skill points and with minimum investment in the Missile Launcher Operation skill tree. As such, its serves as an effective introduction to the missile play style for both new players and veterans looking to explore a different way of playing EVE. However, for PvP it is generally ignored in favour of the [[Talwar]], as it lacks the reduction to MWD signature bloom of its rival.

difficulty=1|

version=RET 1.0|

notes=This is a relatively low-skill boat with the exception of the t2 weapon upgrades modules.</li><li>It is a pure sniping fit. With decent skills it should get 100-150 dps at 40-50 km. However, it has a very small tank, and if it takes damage it will likely die quickly.</li><li>Use the Micro Warp Drive to keep range on targets.}}    {{ShipFitting|

mid4name=Small Shield Extender I|

notes=This is a relatively low-skill boat meant to kite and snipe level 1 and 2 missions.</li><li>Cheap rigs and a small buffer allows you to assess the situation and survive nasty surprises.</li><li>Speed tank with the afterburner and keep at range. If you have the skills the ships should be cap stable with all mods active.</li><li>If your skills are high enough consider replacing one or both of the overclocking units with either additional shields.</li><li>If you have the funds, replace the meta I items with meta II or III variants.}}{{ShipFitting|
