==Summary==

The '''Drekavac''' is a Battlecruiser from the [[Triglavian Collective]], ~~introduced with the Onslaught expansion in November 2018~~. ~~Like all damage-focused Triglavian ships currently available~~, the ~~ship~~'s ~~stats heavily favor armor tanking~~, ~~and maintaining range control~~ is ~~very important due to the damage ramping mechanic of~~ the [[~~Entropic Disintegrators~~]] ~~that the ship is bonused~~ for. ~~The~~ Drekavac's ~~three utility highs makes~~ it ~~more convenient~~ than ~~most other Tech 1~~ and ~~Navy Battlecruisers~~ for ~~capsuleers to equip one or more~~ [[~~Command Bursts~~]].

The '''Drekavac''' is the [[Triglavian Collective]]'s Combat Battlecruiser from the [[Triglavian Collective]]. It is very heavily armored, but still surprisingly fast for its thickness. It features 3 Utility high slots, which alongside the Triglavian Collective's dizzying list of potential utilities (Neutralizers, Remote Armor Repairs, Smartbombs,) can also be used to fit [[Command Bursts]] to enhance fleetmates.

The Drekavac is not as fast as the [[Vedmak]], but it can still be fit for high-speed evasive combat. However, its highly resistant armor, shorter range, and lower speed make it prefer straight brawl fighting. However, in such fights, the Drekavac's greatest strength (the Entropic Disintegrator) also becomes its greatest weakness: the Disintegrator allows for extremely high single-target damage, however it takes time (two minutes) for the damage to ramp up to that point. And as such, Drekavacs can be greatly weakened or defeated by either repeatedly deactivating their weapons (even if only for a few seconds a time), or by using other weapons which deal their full damage immediately, rather than ramping up over time.

Thanks to its high damage, high durability, and remote repair powers, Drekavacs can also be used for some forms of small-group PVE. This was very common during the various chapters of the [[Invasion]], however it has become less common with the increasing price of the hulls.

Like all Triglavian combat ships, the Vedmak uses the unique Entropic Disintegrator weapon, a single turret with high damage and tracking, whose damage increases the longer it remains focused on a single target. Maximum damage is reached after 30 shots, or about two minutes. However, if the Disintegrator stops firing for any reason (manual deactivation, target lock broken, capacitor depletion, target out of range), the damage bonus is reset.
