→Summary: Tweaked one sentence which seemed to me to be slightly too definitively opinionated. Still says the same thing, but with qualification. I'm implementing this as a separate change so that it can be reverted if people feel very strongly about it. |

The '''Panther''' is the Minmatar [[Black Ops]]. It has four bonuses for projectile turrets and, furthermore, the highest base speed of all battleship hulls. However, because it has a high mass (nearly 150 kt), its [[Propulsion_equipment#Sizes_and_mass_effects|speed with a propulsion module]] isn’t as impressive. | The '''Panther''' is the Minmatar [[Black Ops]].

Panthers commonly use armor buffer tanks and fill a DPS role. Despite the Panther’s DPS bonuses, which make the five turret hardpoints correspond to ten unbonused turrets, it cannot match the DPS of the [[Redeemer]], which can mount a battery corresponding to twelve unbonused turrets and also usually fits one more damage-bonus module. | Panthers commonly use armor buffer tanks and fill a DPS role.

In most situations, the Panther’s additional mid (typically used for a web) and high (typically used for another energy neutralizer) don’t compensate for the lower DPS. | ||
Due to the Panther’s high base speed, it’s also sometimes fitted for kiting with nanofiber modules. In this configuration, the pilot can pull range with a residual heated MWD cycle while cloaked. | Due to the Panther’s high base speed, it’s also sometimes fitted for kiting with nanofiber modules.
