This page should be updated due to game changes. Reason: Fits and comments need to be updated due to major changes made to the Jaguar in the Feb 2018 Assault Frigate balance pass. Technical data has been updated.
The Jaguar is a fast and versatile missile platform boasting strong shield systems and substantial utility. It follows in the footsteps of the more affordable Breacher frigate, which has become a reliable staple in the Minmatar arsenal.
Developer: Core Complexion Inc.
The Jaguar was originally developed by Thukker Mix as a skirmish platform but improvements to engine efficiency in assault craft brought the competing Wolf assault frigate up to parity in speed. The Thukker considered an even faster propulsion system for the Jaguar, but ultimately chose to sell the design to Core Complexion Inc. Eager to make an impression in this market, Core Complexion have revised the Jaguar's role, replacing its hardpoints and shifting focus from speed to shields.

Summary
The Jaguar is known for being the assault frigate with the fastest base speed. It has a 4 mid slots, allowing it to fit multiple tackle modules and a shield tank module to give tank without compromising speed. These factors combined make it arguably the best frigate-sized heavy tackler around. While the Jaguar has a bonus to optimal range suggesting the use of artillery, it is more often fit as a close ranger brawler with autocannons.
When compared to its brother the Wolf, the Jaguar has less firepower but more speed and midslots, making it better at tackling roles.
