The celestis is somewhat of an easier ship to fly than the blackbird. You don't miss on your damps unless you are out of range. The ship doesn't particularly need a lot of compromises with the balanced slot layout and increased lows. You have good tank and lots of damps, while also able to be flexible in fitting for sensor range, sensor resolution if you need fast locks, etc. People with projectile, blaster, and missile skills can fit their favorite weapons without much problems. | The celestis is somewhat of an easier ship to fly than the blackbird.

The Celestis cruiser is a versatile ship which can be employed in a myriad of roles, making it handy for small corporations with a limited number of ships. True to Gallente style the Celestis is especially deadly in close quarters combat due to its advanced targeting systems. SHIP BONUSES

This is like a brick, but makes you hard to blow up or if you have logi in fleet. Mostly nice for roams that sit around on gates a lot, like noobs on patrol. Downgrade modules to Tech 1 Meta 0-4 based upon your individual skills and isk budget.

This is more of a sniper. With some sensor boosters it can lock out to tornado max range, and dampen down those snipers. At around 29k EHP, the tank isn't bad either. Guns can be replaced with rocket launchers or whatever people want to use or can fit.
Instead of using a prop mod, try to learn how to make tacticals and use them to maneuver around. MWD can be fitted if going to null sec or w hole space for the bubbles.
Tactics
Be aware of the various sensor ranges of different ships. This is similar to how ECM pilots need to know what ships use what type of sensors. If you suspect the ship you are damping has lost their locks because its targets are outside the sensor range, immediately switch to sensor resolution scripts and destroy their resolution so they take forever to relock. If you do both on the same ship, they can be made to be almost as helpless as perma jams from falcon. Sometimes even more helpless if they have no drones or you just killed their drones. This trick is especially useful against logi. Less useful against snipers but still good against brawlers that like to be up in your face. With two damps each at 50% effect, you can expect to dampen down a ship's sensor range to 1/4th of its normal value without any modifications. It gets less effective after that.

Some experimentation may let us see whether a kiting celestis that can fly with a kiting gang could be usable or not, by not fitting armor plates but an active tank. ASB or active armor. Probably not. Ewar boats like this one, bonused for range, operate better as solo snipers that utilize a lot of tactical on grid BMs.
