The Machariel can be found in a variety of roles and fleet sizes. In terms of PVE, levels 4 are the main target for this ship. However, due to the high cost of the hull and modules, it is a very risky ship to use as it is a very tempting target for pirates. In terms of PVP, the Machariel shines in small engagements. One potential use would be to team up with a tackle and pick off stragglers from a larger fleet. The warp speed and acceleration bonus helps decrease the chance of losing the tackle before you land on grid. | The Machariel can be found in a variety of roles and fleet sizes.

Other than picking off stragglers, the Machariel has a decent leg up on other comparable battleships. The high DPS and speed tanking abilities make for a deadly combination. Although the [[Nightmare| Nightmare]] has a larger role bonus for damage, the Machariel has more options for tuning damage types. Also, the Machariel will outperform the [[Nightmare| Nightmare]] outside of the 40 km sweet spot in terms of raw damage. | Other than picking off stragglers, the Machariel has a decent leg up on other comparable battleships.
