==Summary==

The '''Typhoon''' is one of the two Minmatar attack battleships, and is ~~focused on~~ missiles. In many ways it serves as a counterpart to the Caldari [[Raven]]: both are missile battleships with 6 launchers and a fire ~~rate~~ bonus, ~~however~~ the two ~~ships~~ differ in two important aspects. First, the Typhoon is ~~almost exclusively~~ armor-tanked, due to its extra ~~Low~~ slots (while the Raven is usually shield-tanked). And second, where the Raven has a bonus to missile range, the Typhoon has a bonus to missile damage application. This makes the Raven more favored for long-range missile sniping, while the Typhoon is more favored for closer-range brawling with Rapid Heavys or Torpedoes, aided by its generous 5-slot ~~Mid~~ rack and 100MBit Drone Bandwidth. ~~(This being~~ said ~~though~~, a Typhoon can still combine Cruise Missiles and 4 Sentry Drones ~~to great effect~~.)

And second, where the Raven has a bonus to missile range, the Typhoon has a bonus to missile damage application.

That said, a Typhoon can still combine Cruise Missiles and 4 Sentry Drones for significant long-range DPS.

The Typhoon also has an unusually high speed (for a battleship). With high character skills and fitted for speed, it can MWD at about 1.5km/s; with drugs, expensive implants, and the right [[Command Bursts]] from fleet-members, this speed can rise above 2km/s, or above 3km/s with [[Overheating|heat]]. Among well-resourced players it sees niche use as an extremely fast small-gang battleship.
