Summary

The Megathron is the second tier Gallente battleship. It is a gun boat, specialising in large hybrid turrets. With its 4 mid slots and 8 lows the megathron is almost exclusively armor tanked. The Megathron is somewhat of a spiritual successor to the Brutix and Thorax, favoring guns over drones. However, the Mega can fit a very thick tank and has the bandwidth and drone bay to field either a flight of 3 heavy drones or full flights of both light and medium drones to back up its destructive force, making it a powerful option for many different kinds of PvP and PvE action.
