In YC 113 Republic Security Services learned the Amarr Empire was building a new battlecruiser capable of supporting battleship-class weapons. Determined to not lose their technological edge to their adversaries, Republic Fleet commissioned Boundless Creation to construct a gunboat to match.
What they designed was the Tornado. Developed in record time and total secrecy, the Tornado is a testament to Minmatar engineering. Modeled loosely off of flying-wing designs of ancient planetary bombers, the Tornado supports multiple large projectile turrets, dealing massive damage while maintaining a small signature radius.

Summary

The Tornado was made to do one thing and one thing only: blow the every loving crap out of anything that is unfortunatly preoccupied with other threats. Like the other Tier 3 Battlecruisers, this ship is all gank and no tank. This naturally leads many to fit it for 200km+ sniper combat, since even a couple of cruisers or small frigate wolfpack can tear it apart rather quickly. The Tornado is thus often fitted with 1400mm Artillery and used to deal massive alpha damage, in similar style to the Maelstrom.

NOTES
  • Only carry enough ammo for 1-2 volleys. Your ship won't last longer.
  • The goal for the modules is being cheap, since you'll lose it all anyway.
  • Does 9669 volley damage with All V skills.
  • Change ammo type depending on the weakness of your target. Ship scanning and using EFT are your friends.
  • Send tackle in at 0, land the Tornados at 30km.
