Summary

The Megathron is the second tier Gallente battleship. It is a gun boat, specialising in large hybrid turrets. Its bonuses favor blasters, but railgun fitted megathrons are perfectly viable. With its 4 mid slots and 7 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 can field a flight of heavy drones to back up it's destructive force, making suitable for many different kinds of PvP and PvE action.
