The Atron is a hard nugget with an advanced power conduit system, but little space for cargo. Although it is a good harvester when it comes to mining, its main ability is as a combat vessel. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Atron is the Gallente Attack Frigate. It is designed to be fast and has a capacitor bonus to tackle modules and bonuses to hybrid turrets, favouring blasters. The Atron doesn't have great firepower and it still isn't the most durable of ships, but with its speed and agility, good piloting can keep it alive while tackling a target while other ships deliver the punch.
The Atron is a great hull for new pilots interested in learning how to +1, The agile but fragile ship will assist new pilots in understanding some of the limitations of Interceptors, It can serve as an amazing long-point tackle ship.
"Scram Chasing" might be difficult and lethal in the Atron and should be left for tankier hulls like the Incursus.
The Atron is the "fastest" T1 attack Frigate. While the Minmatar Slasher is (originally) 10m/s faster than the Atron, the three low slots allow adding an Overdrive or Nanofiber Hull resulting in a faster ship while still retaining the same tank. A large capacitor allows a stable fit relatively easy, allowing to keep point on a target for prolonged times, until your fleet or gang arrive on grid. In addition, an ample Power Grid and CPU make the Atron easy to fit with little training.

- Ares Wannabe:
- Fast, Agile, doesn't suffer from the short locking range syndrome as much.
- ACs require very little grid, offering longer first falloff then Blasters and also require no cap to fire, your main tragets are mostly drones.
- Be sure to carry around 10 Nanite Repair Paste.
- Use with care, once scrammed you are dead.
- Orbit around 15km, watch target's radial/velocity, adjust with keep at range (set to 100km) and approach.
- Feel free to replace anything with lower meta if you're low on isk, EXCEPT for the Warp Disruptor II.
