==Summary==

The Cyclone is ~~the~~ Minmatar ~~Tier 1~~ Battlecruiser~~. If it were for any~~ other ~~race~~, ~~it would be known as a decent gunboat with a moderate tank~~. ~~Unfortunately, it lives in~~ the ~~shadow of it's more famous brother, the Hurricane~~, which is ~~only~~ a ~~couple~~ of ~~training hours away and~~ is ~~superior~~ to the Cyclone in ~~almost every way~~, ~~including adaptability. This being said~~, ~~the Cyclone is often underestimated~~.

The Cyclone is a Minmatar Battlecruiser and, unlike its brother the [[Hurricane]] and most other Minmatar ships, the Cyclone is bonused towards missiles rather than projectile turrets. Unlike the Drake, which is designed to mount a large buffer tank and deal most of its damage with kinetic missiles, the Cyclone is bonused to take advantage of shield boosters to mount a massive active tank, albeit for a only limited period of time, while its rate of fire bonus allows the Cyclone greater flexibility in terms of the damage types it can use. The Cyclone also has a decent dronebay and bandwidth 50m3, allowing it to field a full flight of medium drones for extra DPS, or two flights of small drones instead.

==Skills==

Like many Minamatar ships, the Cyclone is very skill intensive. A player looking to fly a Cyclone should have strong ~~projectile weapon skills as well as~~ missile skills. Energy neutralizers or vampires are often equiped in the extra high slots for PvP, although this is not a very long train. Cylones are shield tanked more often than not in order to take advantage of the ships bonuses, so good active shield tanking skills are also recommended.
