These characteristics limit destroyers uses in PvP, but they have niche roles. Their high damage output (for small, cheap ships) makes them popular tools for [[Suicide Gank|suicide-ganking]] weak targets in highsec. They are sometimes used to hunt frigate pilots or to kill a [[carrier]]'s fighters. In PvE, they are ideal ships for completing Level 1 combat missions very quickly, and with forethought and good piloting they can complete many Level 2 missions (though for newer players a properly-fitted cruiser is probably a more suitable tool).

Finally, destroyers are also superb salvaging ships because of their many high slots (second only to the [[Noctis]]). Salvaging destroyers commonly fit a full high slot rack split between equal numbers of ~~[http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Salvager_I~~ Salvagers] and ~~[http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Small_Tractor_Beam_I~~ Tractor Beams], with a propulsion module and some ~~[http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Cap_Recharger_I~~ Cap Rechargers] in the mid slots, and as many ~~[http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Expanded_cargohold_i~~ Expanded Cargoholds] as possible in the lowslots. Fitted like this, a Tech 1 destroyer is a suitable salvager for missions up to and including Level 3s, or even some Level 4s if the pilot is willing to make multiple trips to and from the nearest station.

Each race has two Tech 1 destroyers, one of which uses turret weapons, while the other uses that race's alternate weapon system (missiles for Caldari and Minmatar, drones for Amarr and Gallente).
