With its limited high slots normally taken up by a cloak and a probe launcher, the Astero must rely on its drones for DPS in PvP. It can launch a flight of five light drones. These have a bonus to durability but not to damage, making them strong against frigates, which will struggle to kill them, but limiting the Astero's ability to scale damage up against larger targets. The spare drone bay capacity means that pilots can bring spare damage drones, and perhaps a flight of light ECM drones to try to escape if bigger fish try to intervene. | |||
Since the Astero relies on drones for damage, it could in theory fit a warp disruptor and kite beyond the range of small weapons. However, its relatively slow speed for a frigate makes this more difficult in practice, and PvP fits most often use a warp scrambler. It is normally armour-tanked, to use its hit point bonus. Its four mid slots then provide significant space for propulsion and range control tools such as webs. | |||
