Minmatar Basic Ship and Skill Overview: Difference between revisions

Flying destroyers is not recommended for PvP Uni fleets. There are some exceptions, such as specialized hit & run fleets.

|name=Thrasher, AB Salvager

* If you bookmark each pocket of a mission and complete the mission, the wrecks will be sent into normal space. This will allow you to warp to each pocket bookmark and salvage without letting the bonus timer run out. If you desire, swap the Afterburner for a MicroWarpdrive.

*You may want to tell your squad commander (before the fleet leaves, not during battle!) that this is what your ship is fitted for and find out whether they want you to shoot/tackle the primary or use your own initiative and hunt enemy frigates.

*You will want to train Drones to IV or V to get as much value out of the large drone bay as possible by fielding a full or near-full flight of drones.

When you begin to fly Minmatar battlecruisers it is a good idea to be training towards a Shield or Armor [[Full T2 Tank]]. (You will need a full T2 tank to fly battlecruisers in wartime PvP, if you're a uni pilot; whether or not you're in the uni, a T2 tank is helpful in PvE.) It is also wise to have basic [[Gunnery Guide#Gunnery_Support_Skills|Gunnery Support skills]] sorted out, and to be training towards T2 light and medium drones.  

{{Ship|Cyclone|box}}

The Cyclone is inferior to the Hurricane in most situations, but it has a few niche uses. With a shield booster and capacitor booster support, and possibly bonuses from expensive implants and combat drugs, the Cyclone can mount a decent active tank. Such a fit can work well as a solo or small gang PvP ship.

When you step into a battleship it's important to have solid support skills. A [[Full T2 Tank|T2 tank]] is extremely helpful (and required to fly BSs in wartime Uni PvP fleets), while access to T2 light and medium drones will be useful, as they will be your main defence against targets too small for your large weapons.

{{Ship|Hoarder|box}}

The Hoarder is the mid-level ship for the Minmatar industials, although it does have a greater amount of cargo space than what you'd expect from the mid-level ship. Some starter industrialists find the Hoarder more valuable than the Wreathe as their first Minmatar industrial.

{{Ship|Mammoth|box}}

After the Iteron Mark V, the Mammoth is often considered the next best industrial in existence. It has more cargo capacity than the other two races' industrials, and the highest number of low slots for cargohold expanders.
