No cruiser currently in existence can match the superiority of the Cerberus's onboard missile system. With a well-trained pilot jacked in, this fanged horror is capable of unleashing a hail of missiles to send even the most seasoned armor tankers running for cover. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Cerberus is a missile ship with extended range. It is normally equipped with heavy missiles and can sling them at a very impressive range. Heavy assault missile fits are also viable for solo and small gang pvp work, with the hull bonus making the range on HAMs more reasonable.
The Cerberus can also be put to good use in PvE content, and can easily handle level 4 missions.
Skills
- Heavy Assault Cruisers to at least IV to take advantage of the DPS and range Buffs that come with every extra level in the skill.
- Heavy Missiles V, Heavy Assault Missiles V, and Heavy Missile Specialization/Heavy Assault Missile Specialization to at least I to fit T2 Launchers, which do more damage and are substantially cheaper than meta 4 variants, along with the ability to use T2 ammo types.
- Missile Launcher Operation, Rapid Launch, Warhead Upgrades, skills which increase DPS and are thus vital to all missile-based damage dealing ships, should all be trained to at least IV.
- Along with the requisite Power Grid Management and CPU Management skills required for adequately fitting most ships. Weapon Upgrades and Advanced Weapon Upgrades should be trained to V and IV respectively to help alleviate fitting problems.
- Guided Missile Precision, Target Navigation Prediction and Target Painting to at least IV to combat smaller targets and gain access to the T2 Target Painter module.
- Missile Projection and Missile Bombardment to at least IV and ideally V to maximize the range at which all missiles travel.
- Shield Operation and Shield Management should be trained to at least IV to improve shield capacity and recharge rate. While Tactical Shield Manipulation should be trained to IV to allow the use of the T2 Shield Hardening modules as well as the T2 Adaptive Invulnerability Field.
- Shield Upgrades should be trained to IV to allow the use of T2 Shield Hardeners, Resistance Amplifiers, Shield Boosters, Shield Power Relays, Shield Extenders and Shield Rechargers.
- EM Shield Compensation, Thermic Shield Compensation, Kinetic Shield Compensation, and Explosive Shield Compensation should be trained to level IV if using the Shield Resistance Amplifiers.
- Finally, Hull Upgrades should be trained to level IV to allow use of the T2 Damage Control module.

- Super easy to fit, provided you can fly the ship itself
- Anti-tackle support ship for Kiting Shield HAC gangs
- Applies DPS out to 95km, meaning you can stay behind the "front line" DD ships like Ishtars and Deimoses and take out the small ships that the primary DD ships find difficult to hit
- Works exceptionally well pared with a Huginn / Rapier
