The Corax is the Caldari destroyer introduced in the [http://www.eveonline.com/retribution/ Retribution] expansion. New Caldari players who enjoyed the missile-centric playstyle of the {{ship|Kestrel}} now have the option of flying a destroyer-class missileboat on their way to piloting a {{ship|Caracal}}, rather than being forced into the Gunnery-based {{ship|Cormorant}}.

As a ship, the Corax functions quite well as a sniper, with its large number of high slots. Since it has a small, fragile tank, it functions best engaging enemies at ranges greater than 20Km. By keeping enemies at range and using its nimble body to its full advantage, a competent Corax pilot should have no trouble running L1s and most L2s. This same philosophy has made the Corax a fearsome PvP destroyer, able to kite most ships with relative ease.

The Corax can be flown effectively with very low skill points and with minimum investment in the {{sk|Missile Launcher Operation}} skill tree. As such, it serves as an effective introduction to the missile play-style for both new players and veterans looking to explore a different way of playing. However, for PvP it is generally ignored in favour of the {{ship|Talwar}}, as it lacks the reduction to MWD signature bloom of its rival.
