The Broadsword is the Minmatar Heavy | The Broadsword is the Minmatar Heavy Interdiction Cruiser. It is designed to be heavily shield tanked, and has a large number of mid slots and a hull bonus to help this. The main purpose of the Broadsword is to carry the Warp Disruption Field Generator module, which produces a warp disruption bubble around the ship. | ||
The Broadsword and the Caldari [[Onyx]] have the same slot layouts and are almost identical ships, however the shield resist profile on the Onyx is less even than the Broadsword, making it vulnerable to EM damage. As such the Broadsword is slightly preferred, but the Onyx performs almost as well. While the armor tanked [[Devoter]] can field a larger tank in terms of raw EHP, a shield tank benefits from passive regeneration, which is important because a HIC using a Warp Disruption Field Generator cannot be remotely repaired and the passive regeneration over the duration of a bubble cycle can amount to tens of thousands of EHP. | The Broadsword and the Caldari [[Onyx]] have the same slot layouts and are almost identical ships, however the shield resist profile on the Onyx is less even than the Broadsword, making it vulnerable to EM damage.
