Like their frigates, the Minmatar Cruisers feature a mix of abilities like drone bays and missle launchers. They favour their projectile weaponry and their shields. Most of them are also pretty fast for their class in comparison to the other factions.

Minmatar ships favour shields and projectile weaponry; they also hold the fastest ships in the game. Pretty much the diametric opposite of their arch-nemsis race, the Amarr, the Minmatar have their strongest ties with the Gallente Federation. As such, some of their ships have drone bays as well. The biggest bonus for the Minmatar ships […]

Gallente Cruisers follow the same design principles as their Frigates, a good balance of slots, drone bays, heavy armour and a prediliction for blasters.
Celestis - The Celestis follows the same design principle as the Maulus frigate in form of its bonuses (sensor dampeners and medium hybrid turret damage). However, unlike the frigate this cruiser has […]

The defining feature of Gallente ship design is the drone bay; to the Gallente people drones are the way to conduct a war. Mixed in with that they also follow a system of utilising heavy armour and throwing themselves into the fray with a predeliction of blasters. With that in mind, lets have a look […]

Caldari cruisers, like their frigates are heavy on the missles, ECM Warfare and shields. Again drone bays don’t feature heavily but are given some grudging space. So…what are the ships?

The thing to remember about the Caldari ships is that they love their missles. Their ships are also shield heavy and light on the armour. They favour keeping their opponents at range usually, so again Railguns are their prefered variant of Hybrid Weapon. The Caldari also seem to have more space set towards the utilisation […]

Crucifier - The Scout - This frigate, which requires Amarr Frigate II, is designed with the purpose of scouting in mind. It excels at fitting certain Electronic Warfare devices like traking disruptors which can slow down weapon locks and reduce turret ranges.

In EVE you have 2 types of ECM; ECM and Burst ECM, they are then subdivided by race type and a multi-frequency type that will […]

Whats the main difference? Well damage type aside there are some subtle differences, also each race specialises in specific weapons. Amarr uses lasers most, Minmatar, projectiles, whilst Gallente and Caldari use Hybrids. THough any race can use any weapon if trained in it. The size of weapon also matters (yes boys check your guns caliber….) […]
