Honor is everything, and nothing is more honorable than victory. – CEO Alakoni Ishanoya Inspired by ancient stories of a 'pirate bird,' the Skua allows pilots to unleash a barrage of long range missiles that mimic that relentlessness of its namesake.

Summary

The Skua and the Anhinga are the Alliance Tournament XXI prize ships. A total of 280 ships where rewarded (140 of each).

The Skua combines a strongly enhanced form of the Jackdaw's tactical destroyer modes with the additional capabilities of a Command Destroyer. In addition to stronger tactical destroyer mode bonuses, the Skua is unique in having a two second cooldown between switching modes instead of the normal 10 second cooldown. It also receives an immense bonus to rocket range in sharpshooter mode, with the ability to reach ranges that light missiles normally would.

Notes

Based on the Caldari Jackdaw Tech III Destroyer. In a demonstration, CCP Bee stated that the idea behind the ship was a "Jackdaw on crack", comparing it to old shield regen fit Svipuls.
