In PvE, a railgun-fitted Moa will cope perfectly well with Level 2 missions, but might be out-competed for Caldari pilots by the [[Caracal]], which can match its damage-dealing to [[NPC damage types|NPC damage weaknesses]] because it uses missile launchers. | In PvE, a railgun-fitted Moa will cope perfectly well with Level 2 missions, but might be out-competed for Caldari pilots by the [[Caracal]], which can match its damage-dealing to [[NPC damage types|NPC damage weaknesses]] because it uses missile launchers. | ||

General [[support skills]] and [[fitting skills]] help the Moa as they help any ship; [[Gunnery Guide#Gunnery Support Skills|gunnery support skills]] are particularly useful, as are shield tanking support skills, to take full advantage of the shield resistance bonus. The Moa can launch three light drones, and in PvE combat these will help against frigates which close in and move too fast for the ship's main guns, so basic drone skills will come in handy. | ||

The Moa can be a cheap and effective line DPS ship in groups. With railguns, it can deal good DPS within point range, and with Tech 2 turrets it can switch to Tech 2 ammo to project sensible damage out well beyond point range. | The Moa can be a cheap and effective line DPS ship in groups.

Blaster-fit Moas can work, and can surprise opponents. However, the Moa lacks the tracking bonus of the Gallente [[Thorax]], and fitting and/or smart piloting must compensate for this. | Blaster-fit Moas can work, and can surprise opponents.
