The Catalyst's bonuses favor blasters, though it can also be rail fit. It has 2 mids, allowing it to fit a tackle module, and 3 low slots for a basic armor tank.

Unfortunately the Catalyst is still a destroyer, so it has a large signature for its tank, making it vulnerable to cruiser weapons, and its slow speed and lack of mid slots means it will have difficulty dictating range against frigates, which is important for a blaster ship. A railgun fit Catalyst is a very fast L1 mission runner, but has trouble tanking level 2s.

The Catalyst's very high damage at short range, and its cheap cost, makes it a popular choice for [[Suicide Ganking]] in High Sec space.

Like all destroyers, the Catalyst is also a great entry-level salvager ship on a player's path to a [[Noctis]] (in unsafe areas like wormhole systems pilots often fly destroyers even if they have the skills for the Noctis).

In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance which speeds up a reaction when present, and is not consumed in the reaction itself. The word is used more broadly as a dead metaphor for a factor or entity which causes or speeds up change.
