Target/Threat Triage

This is primarily a personal-use page, though other pilots might find it useful. If focuses on PvP. It attempts a practical taxonomy which cuts across the rationality of race and ship type. It is a work-in-progress and naturally incomplete.

RLML cruisers

Can fit other medium missiles, but often met with RLMLs because excellent application and range murders small stuff, while doing tolerable DPS.

• Caracal
• Cerberus: Caracal on steroids. Fits for large fleet doctrines might not be RLML.
• Osprey Navy Issue: Caracal-style RLML use, but can kite effectively.

Falloff AC kiting cruisers

• Stabber: great falloff and speed but the capacitor dies if you think the word "microwarpdrive" or the phrase "active tank"
• Vagabond: Stabber falloff, even greater speed, ADC and T2 resists. Squishier than other HACs, but that doesn't matter if it pins you down and you can't catch it.
• Cynabal: Stabber falloff, high speed, inherent warp speed/accel bonus as though it was hyperspatial rigged.

Combat Battlecruisers

• Harbinger: lasers, armour tank
• Prophecy: drones, armour tank with res bonus, no mounted weapon bonus (= utility high slot potential / eccentric weapons)
• Hurricane: guns, flexible tank, flexible fit
• Cyclone: missiles, active shield tank bonus
• Brutix: hybrids, active armour tank bonus; nevertheless can also be nano'd for some doctrines.
• Myrmidon: drones, active armour tank bonus, no mounted weapon bonus
• Ferox: hybrids, range bonus, popular low-SP mass fleet doctrine ship, shield tank
• Drake: missiles, shield tank, shield res bonus

Attack Battlecruisers

Fit large (not medium) guns with all that implies for damage and range. Weak tanks. Glass cannons.

• Oracle
• Tornado
• Talos
• Naga

Recons

Combats and Forces are significantly different. It's worth knowing the difference. e.g. Combats can't light a hard cyno or a covops cyno; Forces can. People get the two sets confused more often than is entirely healthy, given the implications of mixing one type up for another.

Combat Recons

Don't appear on d-scan, which means you do know about them if you ever get on grid with them, but they can enter a system sans d-scan evidence, without even the brief appearance a cloak ship can make while recloaking.

• Curse: neuts, drones.
• Huginn: webs (and painting), struggles to fit arty, surprising DPS with ACs.
• Lachesis: long tackle (and damps).
• Rook: ECM.

Force Recons

Can light hard cynos and covops cynos. Can warp while cloaked. Fuel use bonuses and short cyno durations.

• Pilgrim: neuts, drones; shorter range than Curse.
• Rapier: webs, missiles.
• Arazu: long tackle.
• Falcon: ECM.
