The Hecate is the Gallente [[Tactical Destroyer]], released in Aegis. It is the 4th Tactical Destroyer released, after the {{ship|Jackdaw}}, the {{ship|Confessor}} and the {{ship|Svipul}}.
The Hecate is the Gallente [[Tactical Destroyer]], released in Aegis. It is the 4th Tactical Destroyer released, after the {{ship|Jackdaw}}, the {{ship|Confessor}} and the {{ship|Svipul}}.
It is a bit more agile than the Jackdaw, but slower than Svipul or Confesser. With its five turret hardpoints it can put out high damage, but having the lowest powergrid output of all T3 destroyers, actually fitting those, can be difficult.
It is a bit more agile than the Jackdaw, but slower than Svipul or Confesser. With its five turret hardpoints, bonused to deal as much damage as ten, it can put out high damage, but having the lowest powergrid output of all T3 destroyers, actually fitting those can be difficult.
 
Following the Tech 3 paradigm, Tactical Destroyers are flexible ships, and clever switching between their three modes allows the user to get the most out of these ships.<br>
Sharpshooter mode allows a blaster-fit Hecate not to have the usual range struggle associated to blasters.<br>
While the slot layout of the Hecate would allow for a shield variant, the Defense mode bonuses actually make this ship a strong Armor/Hull hybrid tanker, using armor repairers and a surprisingly large hull as buffer.<br>
Propulsion mode bonuses mean the Hecate is generally flown in a 5MN variant, even though it is also noteworthy that the bonus to inertia can make the Hecate align in less than one second in specialized fits.
