The Megathron has established itself as one of the most feared and respected battleships around. Since its first appearance almost two decades ago it has seen considerable service in the troublesome regions on the outskirts of the Federation, helping to expand and defend Gallentean influence there.

Summary

The Megathron is the second tier Gallente battleship. It is a gun boat, specialising in large hybrid turrets. With its 4 mid slots and 8 lows the megathron is almost exclusively armor tanked. The Megathron is somewhat of a spiritual successor to the Brutix and Thorax, favoring guns over drones. However, the Mega can fit a very thick tank and has the bandwidth and drone bay to field either a flight of 3 heavy drones or full flights of both light and medium drones to back up its destructive force, making it a powerful option for many different kinds of PvP and PvE action.

Skills

Gallente Battleship III/IV: Get this before taking it into PVE, and at least IV before going into PVP.

Large Hybrid Turret IV/V: The primary training for a heavy Gallente DD. T2 Blaster Guns allow you to fire Null ammo, which will greatly increase damage projection whilst still keeping your dps high.

Sharpshooter IV/V and Motion Prediction IV/V: The two most important gunnery support skills, increasing optimal range and tracking speed. Both need to be maxed for T2 Rails and Blasters respectively.

Surgical Strike IV: Increasing DPS.
