Like other ships of its size, Paladins can sometimes struggle to neutralize frigates. In particular, the Paladin is only able to field a full flight of light drones, so without tracking computers, even cruisers can be difficult for a Paladin to dispatch quickly. As stated above, however, a correctly equipped Paladin is able to utilize a Micro Jump Drive to outrange and snipe any frigates that get too close. | Like other ships of its size, Paladins can sometimes struggle to neutralize frigates.

* {{sk|Repair Systems}} - Enables the use of armor repairers. Because the Bastion Module doubles armor repair amount, shorter armor repairer cycles become an even larger boost to armor tank than normal. Note that higher levels of this skill causes an increase in effective capacitor use, though the Paladin's bonus to capacitor recharge helps to offset this somewhat. | * {{sk|Repair Systems}} - Enables the use of armor repairers.

Like all marauders, the Paladin's greatest strength is Bastion Mode. In Bastion Mode, a Paladin boasts nearly unparalleled active armor tanking capabilities, even with only a single armor repairer. When combined with Bastion Mode's bonus to armor resistance, a well-equipped Paladin can deploy an active tank that can withstand even the full-room damage of a level 4 mission like [[Gone Berserk (Level 4)|Gone Berserk]]. | Like all marauders, the Paladin's greatest strength is Bastion Mode.

A Paladin is best equipped with pulse lasers and Scorch crystals, but the use of Scorch crystals can also cause issues with turret tracking speed. In extreme cases, it may be difficult even to hit a cruiser orbiting at 40km. Thankfully, the Paladin's bonus to capacitor recharge allows it to equip fewer capacitor modules, which in turn allows it to equip one or more Tracking Computers to offset the Scorch crystals' tracking penalty. | A Paladin is best equipped with pulse lasers and Scorch crystals, but the use of Scorch crystals can also cause issues with turret tracking speed.

* The Paladin is named after the popular concept of a holy knight that fights evil and sin, originating from 12th century French literature where it referred to the companions of Charlemagne. This falls in line with the common theme of Amarrian ships having religiously-themed names. | * The Paladin is named after the popular concept of a holy knight that fights evil and sin, originating from 12th century French literature where it referred to the companions of Charlemagne.
