The Corax is the Caldari destroyer introduced in the [http://www.eveonline.com/retribution/ Retribution] expansion. New Caldari players who enjoyed the missile-centric playstyle of the [[Kestrel]] now have the option of flying a destroyer-class missleboat on their way to piloting a [[Caracal]], rather than being forced into the Gunnery-based [[Cormorant]].

As a ship, the Corax functions quite well as a sniper, with its large number of high slots. Since it has a small, fragile tank, it functions best engaging enemies at ranges larger than 20Km. By keeping enemies at range and using its nimble body to its full advantage, the competent Corax pilot should have no trouble running L1s and most L2s. This same ~~kiting~~ philosophy has made the Corax a fearsome PvP destroyer, able to kite most ships with relative ease.

The Corax can be effectively flown with very low skill points and with minimum investment in the Missile Launcher Operation skill tree. As such, its serves as an effective introduction to the missile play style for both new players and veterans looking to explore a different way of playing EVE.
