==Summary==

The '''Machariel''' is ~~best known as~~ the fastest and ~~most agile~~ battleship ~~available~~, making it ~~a not uncommon sight in PVP despite~~ the ~~price tag~~. ~~One~~ of the most ~~common pirate battleships~~ in ~~Eve~~, it is ~~also used for~~ high level mission running and ~~incursions~~.

The '''Machariel''' is both the ultimate Fast Battleship, and the ultimate projectile turret battleship. It features the fastest engines and warp drive of any battleship, the highest damage output of any projectile battleship (25% fire rate and 25% damage on 7 guns), and even extended turret range (falloff), making it both the best autocannon battleship (by range, DPS, and utility slots) ''and'' the best artillery battleship (by alpha strike power). It also has a very large model, which when combined with its 8 high slots and increased warp speed make it one of the most favored [[Smartbomb]] ships in the game, to the point that it is commonly found in Lowsec Gatecamps and even running some PVE sites with pure Smartbomb layouts. Its high speed and turret damage make it popular in both high-level mission running and some PVP fleet applications, despite its high price tag. Its greatest drawbacks are, first, while its 8-6-6 slot layout lends it to being either shield- or armor-tanked, it will be somewhat less durable than most other battleship which feature 7 or even 8 mid or low slots; and second, autocannons and artillery in general have issues that interfere with them reaching their maximum potential, which is why Machariels have fallen out of favor in the [[Incursion]] community.
