Summary
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 Sharpshooter especially helps railgun sniping.
Tactics
The Cormorant has many mid slots, which allows for a reasonable shield tank, within the limitations of destroyers' vulnerability to bigger ships.
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 tackle in its mid slots. It is, however, outshone in this regard by the Gallente Catalyst.
In PvE the Cormorant can cope efficiently with Level 1 missions. Cruisers are desirable for Level 2 missions.
Notes
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.
