The Keres is a Tech 2 cousin of the [[Maulus]]; to the Maulus's two bonuses for sensor dampening, it adds significant bonuses to warp scrambler and disruptor range and reductions in scrambler and disruptor capacitor cost. A Keres can point enemies from 40km or more; with a Tech 2 point, [[Overheating|heat]], and maximum character skills, it can point at 50km. The range bonus also affects warp scramblers, taking a Tech 2 warp scrambler to about 15km range with good character skills. | The Keres is a Tech 2 cousin of the [[Maulus]]; to the Maulus's two bonuses for sensor dampening, it adds significant bonuses to warp scrambler and disruptor range and reductions in scrambler and disruptor capacitor cost.

The Keres can be flown purely as a sensor damping platform, but it doesn't really outshine the Maulus and [[Celestis]] much in this role. Versus the Maulus, it essentially only gains an extra mid slot and slightly better tank at a considerable increase in price. The Celestis is simply superior at damping, cheaper despite being a cruiser, and more insurable, though the Keres beats it in mobility. | The Keres can be flown purely as a sensor damping platform, but it doesn't really outshine the Maulus and [[Celestis]] much in this role.

The Keres deserves good general [[fitting skills]] and [[support skills]]. {{Sk|Propulsion Jamming}}, {{Sk|Frequency Modulation}}, {{Sk|Signal Suppression}} and {{Sk|Long Distance Jamming}} all particularly support its primary purpose. | The Keres deserves good general [[fitting skills]] and [[support skills]]. {{Sk|Propulsion Jamming}}, {{Sk|Frequency Modulation}}, {{Sk|Signal Suppression}} and {{Sk|Long Distance Jamming}} all particularly support its primary purpose. | ||

{{Sk|Electronic Attack Ships}} should be trained to IV before undocking the ship. Because the per-level bonus attached to this skill is large (15% extra range), training it to V is a good medium- or long-term goal for anyone who uses the Keres regularly. | {{Sk|Electronic Attack Ships}} should be trained to IV before undocking the ship.

The Keres can be fitted in a variety of ways depending on its exact purpose and likely context of use. It can be shield or armour-tanked, depending on whether the priority is mobility, or mid slot availability. | The Keres can be fitted in a variety of ways depending on its exact purpose and likely context of use.

In a gate camp, the Keres shines with remote and/or mounted sensor boosting. In lowsec, it must also have [[logistics]] support to help it survive gate guns. | In a gate camp, the Keres shines with remote and/or mounted sensor boosting.

In ancient Greek mythology, the Keres were feminine personifications of violent death, associated with battlefields. "Keres" is actually the plural (of ''Ker'') but as a ship name it has become standardized as a singular noun in Eve. | In ancient Greek mythology, the Keres were feminine personifications of violent death, associated with battlefields.
