Minmatar Basic Ship and Skill Overview: Difference between revisions

Line 144:

The Typhoon~~'s position as the cheapest of~~ the Minmatar ~~battleships is a little misleading, as it's not a very good ship for new pilots~~. With ~~seven low slots, a useful rate of fire~~ bonus ~~and the bandwidth to field a full flight of heavy or sentry drones~~, it ~~has~~ a ~~lot of potential. But it takes a considerable skillpoint investment~~ to ~~bring that potential out~~, ~~and~~ the ~~rate of fire bonus is split between two different weapon systems.~~

The Typhoon is the missile-focused Minmatar T1 battleship. With no bonus for missile range, it is a bit more suited to brawling, unlike the Caldari [[Raven]]. The Typhoon has an unusual bonus to missile explosion velocity, which means that it can apply its missile damage to smaller targets rather more easily than most large missile platforms. It has a very high base speed (for a battleship) and one niche use for it is as an unusually large fast ship in small, quickly-moving gangs.

~~The Typhoon is consequently not a common sight, but when it is used it's usually fitted with missiles, often with torpedoes and either neuts or~~ [[~~Spider Tanking|armor RR~~]] ~~for close combat~~. ~~There are also viable L4 mission-running fits~~ which ~~use cruise~~ missile ~~launchers and sentry drones~~. ~~However, new Minmatar~~ battleship ~~pilots will probably be more effective~~ in ~~one of the other two options~~.
