The Megathron has established itself as one of the most feared and respected battleships around. Since its first appearance almost two decades ago it has seen considerable service in the troublesome regions on the outskirts of the Federation, helping to expand and defend Gallentean influence there.

Summary

The Megathron is the second tier Gallente battleship. It is a gun boat, specialising in large hybrid turrets. Its bonuses favor blasters, but railgun fitted megathrons are perfectly viable. With its 4 mid slots and 7 lows the megathron is almost exclusively armor tanked.

The Megathron is somewhat of a spiritual successor to the Brutix and Thorax, favoring guns over drones. However, the Mega can fit a very thick tank and can field a flight of heavy drones to back up its destructive force, making it a powerful option for many different kinds of PvP and PvE action.
