Following in the time-honored Caldari spaceship design tradition, the Basilisk sports top-of-the-line on-board computer systems specially designed to facilitate shield transporting arrays, while sacrificing some of the structural strength commonly found in vessels of its class.
Developer: Lai Dai
Lai Dai have always favored a balanced approach to their mix of on-board systems, leading to a line-up of versatile ships but providing very little in terms of tactical specialization. With the Basilisk, their aim was to continue pushing forward the development of cutting-edge defense optimization systems while providing powerful support capability.
SHIP BONUSES
Caldari Cruiser bonuses (per skill level): 150% bonus to Remote Capacitor Transmitter range 20% bonus to Logistic Drone transfer amount 60% bonus to Remote Shield Booster optimal range and falloff Logistics Cruisers bonuses (per skill level): 15% reduction in Remote Capacitor Transmitter activation cost 15% reduction in Remote Shield Booster activation cost Role Bonus: 50% reduction in Remote Shield Booster CPU requirement 50% reduction in Remote Capacitor Transmitter powergrid requirement
Base Time to Warp is essentially the time needed for this ship to align and accelerate until it reaches 75% of its top speed and goes to warp. The time displayed here is the base calculated time with no account for any warp related skills, modules or any other effects.

Summary
The Basilisk is a ship designed for shield and capacitor transfer, the shield equivalent of the Guardian. The capacitor transfer is usually put to use trading with another Basilisk to create capacitor out of thin air, fulfilling the capacitor needs of both ships. Because of its reliance on cap transfer with other ships, the Basilisk is almost exclusively used partnered with other Basilisks, never alone. The use of cap transfer to fulfil its cap needs means that it can fit a stronger tank, but requires more coordination and leaves it more vulnerable to jamming, because if one logistics ship is jammed, the cap chain must be adjusted or the entire logistics wing will suffer a capacitor failure.

Notes
In European folklore, the basilisk is a large reptilian monster, sometimes snake-like and sometimes depicted with legs, which can kill with a glance.
