Tempest
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES
|
The Tempest is one of the Republic Fleet's key vessels; a versatile gunship proficient at long-range bombardment and capable of dishing out specialized types of damage with great effectiveness. A well-rounded squadron of Tempests has been proven time and time again to be an invaluable wild card in a fleet battle, one which opponents should ignore at their own peril. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Tempest is one of two Minmatar Attack Battleships. Its bonuses favour Large Projectile Turrets, unlike the Typhoon which focuses on battleship-size missiles/torpedoes. With 5 mid slots and 6 low slots the Tempest can be shield- or armor-tanked; both are equally common.
The Minmatar attack battlecruiser, the Tornado, overshadows the Tempest in PvP sniping roles, and is cheaper, while the Maelstrom's shield boost bonus makes it a more popular choice than the Tempest for many PvE combat situations. But the Tempest does see use in smaller PvP gangs, and it is, for a battleship, relatively quick and agile.
