The Atron is the Gallente Attack Frigate. ~~It is designed to be fast~~ and ~~has a capacitor~~ bonus to ~~tackle~~ modules and bonuses to hybrid turrets, ~~favouring blasters~~. ~~The Atron doesn't have great firepower and it still isn't~~ the ~~most durable~~ of ~~ships, but with its speed~~ and ~~agility, good piloting can keep it~~ alive ~~while tackling a target while other ships~~ deliver the punch.

The Atron is the Gallente [[Frigates#Fast_Frigates|Attack Frigate]]. The Atron's extraordinary speed, agility, and bonus to propulsion jamming modules (warp disruptors, warp scramblers and stasis webifiers) make it an excellent tackle frigate. The Atron also has bonuses to hybrid turrets, but using them often requires more capacitor than the Atron has to spare. As a result, the job of an Atron pilot is usually to pin down an enemy and stay alive long enough for fleetmates to arrive and deliver the punch.

The Atron is a great hull for new pilots interested in learning basic tackling skills, and how to serve as a fleet scout (or "+1"). Flying the Atron provides good practice for eventually flying fleet interceptors (such as the Ares), which are more commonly used as fleet scouts amd first tacklers. Nevertheless, even though the Tech I Atron isn't quite as effective as a Tech II Interceptor, it can still serve as an amazing long-point tackle ship. E-UNI Atron pilots are strongly advised to read the [[Tackling|UniWiki guide to tackling]], and to attend a [[Tackling 101]] practical.

~~The agile but fragile ship will assist new pilots in understanding some of~~ the ~~limitations of Interceptors~~,

It can serve as an amazing long-point tackle ship.

"~~Scram Chasing~~" ~~might be difficult~~ and ~~lethal~~ in the Atron ~~and should be left for tankier hulls like~~ the ~~Incursus~~.

Of the four racial Attack Frigates, the Atron has the most structure HP. As a result, it benefits the most from a damage control module (which provides resistance bonuses to hull), and is nearly always fit with one in a low slot. The Atron's speed makes it best at providing initial tackle, and so it is most often fit with a warp disruptor ("point") rather than a warp scrambler ("scram") or stasis webifier ("web"). Other slots are typically filled with a propulsion module (usually a microwarpdrive), modules that increase speed and agility, and shield modifiers. Even though Gallente ships are typically fit for armor, the fleet Atron is not, because armor modules and rigs reduce ship speed. New Atron pilots may need to train some shield skills in order to fly the ship. Novice Atron pilots are often recommended to fly the "Derptron" fit (shown below) in fleets, because it is still a great tackle frigate in spite of its low skill requirements.

The Atron is the ~~"fastest" T1 attack Frigate.~~

The Atron is not as strong at dealing or taking damage as the two Gallente Combat Frigates, the [[Incursus]] and the [[Tristan]]. Novice Gallente pilots looking for a PvE frigate for Level 1 missions, or for serving the second tackle role in fleets, would be better served by flying one of these other ships instead of the Atron.

~~While the Minmatar Slasher is (originally) 10m/s faster than the Atron~~, the ~~three low slots allow adding an Overdrive or Nanofiber Hull resulting in a faster ship while still retaining~~ the ~~same tank~~.

~~A large capacitor allows a stable fit relatively easy, allowing to keep point on~~ a ~~target~~ for ~~prolonged times~~, ~~until your fleet~~ or ~~gang arrive on grid.~~

~~In addition~~, ~~an ample Power Grid and CPU make~~ the Atron ~~easy to fit with little training~~.
