Ideally suited for both skirmish warfare and fleet support, the Catalyst is touted as one of the best anti-frigate platforms out there. Faced with its top-of-the-line tracking equipment, not many can argue.

Summary

The Catalyst is a Gallente destroyer. Its bonuses favor blasters, though it can also be rail fit. It has 2 mids, allowing it to fit a tackle module, and 3 low slots for an armor tank. Unfortunately the Catalyst is still a destroyer, so it has a large signature for its tank, making it vulnerable to cruiser weapons, and it's slow speed and lack of mid slots means it will have difficulty dictating range against frigates, which is important for a blaster ship. A railgun fit Catalyst is a very fast L1 mission runner, but has trouble tanking level 2s. The catalyst's very high damage at short range makes it the ship of choice for high sec suicide ganks.

Like all destroyers, the Catalyst is also a great entry-level salvager ship on a player's path to a Noctis.

NOTES
  • This fitting with recommended skills should break Dagan's tank within a few minutes.
  • While orbiting at 500m, Dagan's guns should not be able to track the Catalyst. If your own guns have difficulty tracking at full speed, reduce speed to 75%.
  • This fitting should also work well against Kristan Parthus.

NOTES
  • The low slots on a salvaging boat can vary. The co-processor is only needed if you lack cpu, Electronics IV will give enough cpu to fit a third Capacitor Power Relay I. The capacitor power relays help running the modules for longer periods of time, especially if cap skills are low. Cargo expanders can be of use in missions with many wrecks to loot. Even with cargo expanders, a destroyer will often run out of cargo space in level 4 missions.
  • Rigs are optional, they are very expensive for most newbies.
