==Summary==
== 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 [http://www.evealtruist.com/2012/01/know-your-enemy-tier-3-battlecruisers.html here].

==Fitting==
== Tactics ==
For more info on fittings, please go [[Talos/Fittings|here]]
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.


==Tactics==
== Notes ==
''No sub-article about Talos roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''
The Talos was a contestant in the create a starship contest.
