==Summary==
The '''Tempest''' is one of two Minmatar Attack Battleships. It's bonuses favour Large Projectile Turrets, unlike the [[Typhoon]] which focuses on Battleship-size missles/torpedos. With 5 mids and 6 lows the Tempest can be shield or armor tanked, both are equally common. With the recent tier 3 battlecruiser ([[Tornado]]) the primary role of the tempest (pvp sniping) has been overshadowed. None the less, the tempest is still widely used in skirmish warfare. The Tempest is relatively quick and agile, for a battleship.

The Minmatar attack battlecruiser, the [[Tornado]], overshadows the Tempest in PvP sniping roles, and is cheaper, while the [[Maelstrom]]'s shield boost bonus makes it a more popular choice than the Tempest for many PvE combat situations. But the Tempest does see use in smaller PvP gangs, and it is, for a battleship, relatively quick and agile.
