Hydra Tristan
Contents
General Info
- Special Ability: 5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage and 7.5% bonus to Small Hybrid Turret tracking speed per skill level.
This is a basic T1 setup for use in PvP-BASIC Hydra gang.
The tristan is a solid all-round ship. It has one more low slot than the incursus, and one more high slot. However, it is slower, and it's weapons are split between missiles (unbonused) and turrets, leading to lower overall dps but with greater versatility. The tristan suffers slightly on CPU once its extra slots are filled, so you may be restricted in your electronic warfare choices.
You will have to adjust the 2 EWAR midslots as needed to balance the fleet so bring several different kinds of ewar modules with you.
The following ewar modules will fit in spare mid-slots for this setup:
- Stasis Webifier I
- Tracking Disruptor I
- Remote Sensor Dampener I
- Warp Scrambler I
- Warp Disruptor I
