Summary
The Dragoon is an Amarr destroyer with bonuses towards drones and energy neutralizer range. Like its cousins, the Sentinel and Curse, the Dragoon is designed to cap out the enemy, rendering them helpless while the drones do the work.

- This fit can be downgraded to meta modules accordingly.
- Meta 4 neuts are just as effective as Small Energy Neutralizer IIs and use less powergrid, but they are far more expensive.

- This fit is intended for neuting cruiser sized ships. By using a destroyer and fitting an MWD, we intentionally end up with a ship that has a much smaller battery than any cruiser. This means that the nosferatu will continue to work until your target is almost completely drained of capacitor.
- M3 neutralizers are used for the lower cost. Feel free to switch to M4 neuts if you would like.
- You can swap the Knave for an additional neutralizer, but it is more difficult to manage cap.
- A meta 1 MWD is preferred because the higher cap penalty is actually helpful for this fit.
Tactics
Energy Nuetralization
Nosferatu has been changed to work if your target has more raw capacitor rather than a higher percentage. This means that the Dragoon with its tiny battery can easily run Nosferatu on larger ships until they are almost completely out of capacitor. These Nosferatu can in turn be used to power Neutralizers which are used to quickly drain your target of capacitor. This makes the Dragoon a very effective platform for Cap warfare against cruiser sized ships.
Drones
The dragoon is also a good drone platform, but it's not very commonly seen in this role. This is likely due to the fact that it requires a lot of training in drones to make the Dragoon an effective drone boat, and this doesn't fit in well with the initial training that Amarr players are doing. By the time an Amarr player has the drone skills needed to use the Dragoon effectively as a drone boat, they are probably already using cruiser sized hulls.
Notes
This vessel qualifies for the University Ship Replacement Program, PYOS, and BYOM.
