The Thorax-class cruiser is the latest combat ship commissioned by the Federation. While the Thorax is a very effective ship at any range, typical of modern Gallente design philosophy it is most effective when working at extreme close range where its blasters and hordes of combat drones tear through even the toughest of enemies.

Summary

The Thorax is a gun boat, designed to use hybrid turrets. In PvP the Thorax is used as a hard hitting blaster boat. This can be highly effective but is very "do or die", and will make most Thoraxes' lives glorious but short. In PvE, the Thorax is less popular; the slow and steady style of the Vexor is more suited to mission running. Despite this the Thorax can be popular as a first mission running cruiser, because most pilots will have trained gunnery skills while piloting frigates and destroyers, while they will probably have neglected the drone skills required to use a Vexor effectively. Having said that, the Thorax has a 50m³ drone bay, so will also benefit greatly from drone skills.

Skills

• Gallente Cruiser to at least IV to properly take advantage of the massive DPS buff that the Thorax gains with every extra level in the skill.
• Gunnery V, Medium Hybrid Turret V and Medium Blaster Specialization/Medium Railgun Specialization trained to at least I to fit T2 guns, which do more damage and are substantially cheaper than the meta 4 variants, along with the ability to use T2 ammo types.
• Rapid Firing, Surgical Strike, skills which increase DPS and are thus vital to all turret-based damage dealing ships, should all be trained to at least IV.
• Along with the obvious Engineering and Electronics fitting skills required for fitting most ships, Weapon Upgrades and Advanced Weapon Upgrades should be trained to V and at least II respectively to help alleviate fitting problems associated with the ship's powergrid.
• Energy Management and Energy Systems Operation to at least IV due to hybrid weaponry being capacitor dependent.
• Sharpshooter to IV to improve hybrid optimal range.
• Drones V, Combat Drone Operation V, Drone Interfacing IV and Gallente Drone Operation I/Minmatar Drone Operation I are all are important for getting as much DPS out of the 50m³ drone bay as possible.
• Also, High Speed Maneuvering, Acceleration Control, Evasive Maneuvering and Navigation all to IV or above to improve maneuverability and the use of MicroWarp Drive propulsion modules.
• The appropriate skills required for fitting a Full T2 Armour or Shield Tank.

• This is a solo fit. Reps are to enhance the tank and outlast your opponent.
• I know... mixed guns but small neutrons give you more options against frigates that go under your larger guns. You can swap everything to Med Electron Blasters.

• This fit requires a 2% pg implant at all V or the plate can be meta.
• The ewar mod can be swtiched out for your prefrence.

Tactics

As a heavy damage dealer(usually from 230DPS up to more than 700DPS) and a weak tanker(usually less than 20k in EHP), Thorax can be often primaried in fleet combat.

For this reason, it might be better to decloak after your fleet has engaged ---- dont be the hero, since you have MWD fitted on most thorax fits it might only take you seconds to join the battle. If you do so, even if the enemy turns on you(which become less likely in large scaled battle), you have earned your teammate a good respite from focused fire.

Even though Thorax is usally a gunboat, drones can be a good part of your DPS, they have a good range(more than 25km), better accuracy on small targets, and they are not affected by ewar usually, so always remember to launch the drones in battle.

At last, hybrid turrets can change ammos in a short time, if you are using T2 medium blasters, bring a round full(400 for neutron, 600 for ion, 1000 for electron) of Null M charges with you just in case(they could be quite useful in OGC-like situations).

Notes

This vessel qualifies for the University Ship Replacement Program, PYOS, and BYOM.
