This allows it as one of the few cruisers to effectively use heavy drones: The Vexor has a bit of a crazy bandwidth of 75mbit/s.

It’s again a step up on the ladder of the Gallente ship tree. If you liked flying around in an Algos, the chances are high you will enjoy the Vexor too. You will be able to engage targets at around 50km distance, which is a very safe place to be for most beginning PvE. However, since it’s a bigger ship, it will be a bit slower but can make up for it, with the extended range. This Algos-fitting works pretty much the same as the Tristan. A very balanced slot layout enables the hull to be fitted with a shield or armor tank. Its drone bay and bandwidth enable it to make use of two medium drones alongside three light ones. It is still very affordable for newer players and a ship you can get in rather early. Destroyer: AlgosĪs you would expect from a ship of the next size, the Algos is the bigger brother of the Tristan and packs more punch. When something comes close, shoot it with your rail guns. Basically, orbit something at ~20km or more, activate the Multispectrum Shield Hardener and Afterburner, launch your drones and let them go to work. Instead, you want to stay out of harm’s way and use your afterburner to keep your distance and transversal up. This means you do not need many capacitors to actively boost your shields up. This is a ‘passive’ shield tanked Tristan. Medium Azeotropic Restrained Shield Extender For now, let’s have a look at the fitting: When you start out, you only need to skill Gallente Frigate to level one, to be able to pilot it. The Tristan is a Gallente Frigate that uses drones as its primary source of damage. If abyssals are your goal, have a look at before you go in. If you want to run abyssal sites, you want to have a fitting tailored for the flavor you picked. ⚠ WARNING: The following fits are intended to get you started in highsec PvE. But for now, let’s have a look at the probably most accessible little drone boat out there: The Tristan. If you want to know more details about the drones themself, you can have a look at one of my previous posts that describes the mechanics in-depth.

You can load and launch different types of aircraft depending on the spaceship you are flying. That’s probably the easiest way to describe it. Or compare it to a fighter jet and your Drone Boat with an aircraft carrier.

⚠ DISCLAIMER: This post will include some broad generalizations that are intended to make things easier and understandable with limited background knowledge. Intended for both Alpha and Omega characters in their first couple of weeks. In this guide, I will give an example of how you can start out with a character that does well when flying drone boats. And in combat, drones have proven to be a very effective weapon system. There are a lot of ways to make a living in New Eden.
