 Name: Astarte Hull: Brutix Role: Field Command Ship Command ships are engineered specifically to wreak havoc on a battlefield of many. Sporting advanced command module interfaces, these vessels are more than capable of turning the tide in large engagements. Field command ships are geared more towards out-and-out combat than their fleet command counterparts, though both ships can hold their own in battle. Developer: Duvolle Labs Duvolle Labs manufactures sturdy ships with a good mix of offensive and defensive capabilities. Since the company is one of New Eden’s foremost manufacturers of particle blasters, its ships tend to favor turrets and thus have somewhat higher power output than normal. | ||

This ship is skill intensive, but the payoff is worth it. Able to tank around 500 DPS and dish out around 600-700 of its own, this ship is not something you want to run into solo. The capacitor is pretty stable with the cap booster, and I'd recommend sticking a Medium Container in your cargohold to hold charges. You'll be able to carry about a dozen spare cap charges as well as enough ammunition to last you through even a prolonged fight. For insane tanking, try using 2x Corpum A-Type Medium Armor Repairers (~200m a piece) to approach 760 tankable DPS.
(*) Much better range than void and cap
(**) If the target has a microwarp drive the scram always gives a better speed reduction and you are able to hold them down better than you could with a Web

Removed the MFS II for fitting purposes in favor of fleet modules (to rid yourself of the PDS II requires AWU V, and storyline modules, PG implants, or a PG rig). Minimum / Maximum ranges (for demonstration purposes only): ~24km optimal + falloff with Javelin M, ~70km optimal + falloff with Spike M. For whichever other optimal ranges you choose, use faction ammunition. Fit faction modules to taste, there is no way to fit 7x 250mm IIs so don't bother trying to fit them. Go nuts. ALSO: this is an anti-cruiser hull platform (recon, HAC, t1 cruisers) and interdictors. Don't bother shooting at interceptors however, and Vagabonds are problematic but you CAN hit even uber-speedtanked variants enough to get them to fuck off or risk dying (against roughly 140dps in a 15-35km arc around your ship with DG Thorium, depending on what they are doing, and IFF they do not get inside 10km, in which case you'll wish you had that web mounted).

For those of us too cool to rat in a battleship, a variation on the PvP blaster setup. Dropped one of the reps and the injector to be able to fit the larger blasters, replaced with cap and dps mods. Dropped the scram to remove the temptation to engage while moving from ratting system to ratting system. With decent cap skills and while not firing the weapons the rep is nearly cap stable.
