The '''Cerberus''' is a missile ship with extended range. It is normally equipped with heavy missiles and can sling them at a very impressive range. Heavy assault missile fits are also viable for solo and small gang pvp work, with the hull bonus making the range on HAMs more reasonable.

Fit with Rapid light launchers, this monster becomes a definative anti-tackle "flyswatter", especially paired with webs and/or target painter support.

*[[Skills:Spaceship Command#Heavy_Assault_Cruisers|Heavy Assault Cruisers]] to at least IV to take advantage of the DPS and range Buffs that come with every extra level in the skill.

*[[Skills:Missiles#Heavy Missiles|Heavy Missiles]] V, [[Skills:Missiles#Heavy Assault Missiles|Heavy Assault Missiles]] V, and [[Skills:Missiles#Heavy Missile Specialization|Heavy Missile Specialization]]/[[Skills:Missiles#Heavy Assault Missile Specialization|Heavy Assault Missile Specialization]] to at least I to fit T2 Launchers, which do more damage and are substantially cheaper than meta 4 variants, along with the ability to use T2 ammo types.

*[[Skills:Missiles#Missile Launcher Operation|Missile Launcher Operation]], [[Skills:Missiles#Rapid Launch|Rapid Launch]], [[Skills:Missiles#Warhead Upgrades|Warhead Upgrades]], skills which increase DPS and are thus vital to all missile-based damage dealing ships, should all be trained to at least IV.

*Along with the requisite [[Skills:Engineering#Power Grid Management|Power Grid Management]] and [[Skills:Engineering#CPU Management|CPU Management]] skills required for adequately fitting most ships. [[Skills:Engineering#Weapon Upgrades|Weapon Upgrades]] and [[Skills:Engineering#Advanced Weapon Upgrades|Advanced Weapon Upgrades]] should be trained to V and IV respectively to help alleviate fitting problems.

*[[Skills:Missiles#Guided Missile Precision|Guided Missile Precision]], [[Skills:Missiles#Target Navigation Prediction|Target Navigation Prediction]] and [[Skills:Electronic_Systems#Target Painting|Target Painting]] to at least IV to combat smaller targets and gain access to the T2 [[Target Painter]] module.

*[[Skills:Missiles#Missile Projection|Missile Projection]] and [[Skills:Missiles#Missile Bombardment|Missile Bombardment]] to at least IV and ideally V to maximize the range at which all missiles travel.

*[[Skills:Shields#Shield Operation|Shield Operation]] and [[Skills:Shields#Shield Management|Shield Management]] should be trained to at least IV to improve shield capacity and recharge rate. While [[Skills:Shields#Tactical Shield Manipulation|Tactical Shield Manipulation]] should be trained to IV to allow the use of the T2 [[Shield_Tanking#Shield Hardeners|Shield Hardening]] modules as well as the T2 [[Shield Tanking#Multispectrum Shield Hardener|Multispectrum Shield Hardener]].

*[[Skills:Shields#Shield Upgrades|Shield Upgrades]] should be trained to IV to allow the use of T2 [[Shield_Tanking#Shield_Hardeners|Shield Hardeners]], [[Shield_Tanking#Dampening_Amplifiers_and_Basic_Dampening_Amplifiers|Resistance Amplifiers]], [[Shield_Tanking#Shield_Boosters|Shield Boosters]], [[Shield_Tanking#Shield_Power_Relays|Shield Power Relays]], [[Shield_Tanking#Shield_Extenders|Shield Extenders]] and [[Shield_Tanking#Shield_Rechargers|Shield Rechargers]].
