Summary
The Megathron is a gun boat, specialising in large hybrid turrets. With its 4 mid slots and 8 lows the megathron is almost exclusively armor tanked. The Megathron is somewhat of a spiritual successor to the Brutix and Thorax, favoring guns over drones. However, the Mega can fit a very thick tank and has the bandwidth and drone bay to field either a flight of 3 heavy drones or full flights of both light and medium drones to back up its destructive force, making it a powerful option for many different kinds of PvP and PvE action.
Skills
Gallente Battleship III/IV: Get this before taking it into PVE, and at least IV before going into PVP.
Large Hybrid Turret IV/V: The primary training for a heavy Gallente DD. T2 Blaster Guns allow you to fire Null ammo, which will greatly increase damage projection whilst still keeping your dps high.
Sharpshooter IV/V and Motion Prediction IV/V: The two most important gunnery support skills, increasing optimal range and tracking speed. Both need to be maxed for T2 Rails and Blasters respectively.
Surgical Strike IV: Increasing DPS across the spectrum of all turreted weapons, whats not to like about this?

History
Historically the Megathron was a fixture of sniper fleets circa the late 00's and very early 10's. Although outranged by the Apocalypse and Rokh, it was better in most circumstances due to its unique combination of armor tank, tracking and RoF bonuses, and good drone capacity.
