Overhauling the base Drake-class battlecruiser hull to make it their own, the Guristas Pirates have substantially expanded the drone capacity of the new Alligator-class design, and slightly improved missile systems and the propulsion drives. Despite their efforts to improve the handling of the ship, this notoriously sluggish hull's agility took a backseat to the need to pack in new drone stowage and advanced combat drone management systems.

With the ability to field a full rack of launchers, a flight of upgraded medium combat drones, and formidable defensive shields, the Alligator meets the Guristas need for an assault ship capable of taking on empire patrols and supporting raids against more targets across New Eden.

Summary

The Alligator feels like an expensive straight upgrade for the Drake. While it's missile DPS are almost the same, with heat damage type option included and range decreased, the game changer is drone DPS. As a result total DPS could be almost twice as much.

Tank is practically the same as that of the Drake, making it a boat that forgives many newbie mistakes. Yet that is still not enough to solo every L3 mission, as there are a few that have rooms capable of breaking through the Alligators shield. Yet for those missions that do not have that rooms, Alligator's DPS makes mission running faster.

For PvP the Alligator is an expensive clumsy Jack-of-all-trades, lacking DPS, range or speed to perform any PvP role well.
