==Summary== | == Summary == | ||
The '''Cyclone''' is a Minmatar Battlecruiser and, unlike its brother the [[Hurricane]] and most other Minmatar ships, the Cyclone is bonused towards missiles rather than projectile turrets. Unlike the Drake, which is designed to mount a large buffer tank and deal most of its damage with kinetic missiles, the Cyclone is bonused to take advantage of shield boosters to mount a massive active tank, albeit for a only limited period of time, while its rate of fire bonus allows the Cyclone greater flexibility in terms of the damage types it can use. The Cyclone also has a decent dronebay and bandwidth 50m<sup>3</sup>, allowing it to field a full flight of medium drones for extra DPS, or two flights of small drones instead. | The '''Cyclone''' is a Minmatar Battlecruiser and, unlike its brother the [[Hurricane]] and most other Minmatar ships, the Cyclone is bonused towards missiles rather than projectile turrets.

Like many Minmatar ships, the Cyclone is very skill intensive. A player looking to fly a Cyclone should have strong missile skills. Energy neutralizers or vampires are often equipped in the extra high slots for PvP, although this is not a very long train. Cyclones are shield tanked more often than not in order to take advantage of the ship's bonuses, so good active shield tanking skills are also recommended. | Like many Minmatar ships, the Cyclone is very skill intensive.
