======Tempest====== =====Overview===== The Tempest is one of the Republic Fleet's key vessels; a versatile gunship proficient at long-range bombardment and capable of dishing out specialized types of damage with great effectiveness. A well-rounded squadron of Tempests has been proven time and time again to be an invaluable wild card in a fleet battle, one which opponents should ignore at their own peril. ---- ====Requirements==== * Minmatar Battleship I * Spaceship Command IV * Minmatar Battlecruiser III * Spaceship Command III * Minmatar Cruiser III * Spaceship Command II * Minmatar Destroyer III * Minmatar Frigate III * Spaceship Command I ---- ====Traits==== Minmatar Battleship bonuses (per skill level): * 7.5% bonus to Large Projectile Turret rate of fire * 5% bonus to Large Projectile Turret damage ---- ====Fitting==== Out of date ===PvP=== [Tempest, CTAREDPENALERT] Tracking Enhancer II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Damage Control II Tracking Enhancer II Prototype 100MN Microwarpdrive I Multispectrum Shield Hardener II Large Shield Extender II Large Micro Jump Drive Medium Capacitor Booster II, Navy Cap Booster 800 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L Heavy Unstable Power Fluctuator I Heavy Unstable Power Fluctuator I Large EM Shield Reinforcer I Large EM Shield Reinforcer I Large Thermal Shield Reinforcer I **Grathcat** [Tempest, GrathCat] Damage Control II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Reactor Control Unit II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Multispectrum Shield Hardener II Large Shield Extender II Prototype 100MN Afterburner I Sensor Booster II Sensor Booster II 1400mm Howitzer Artillery II 1400mm Howitzer Artillery II 1400mm Howitzer Artillery II 1400mm Howitzer Artillery II 1400mm Howitzer Artillery II 1400mm Howitzer Artillery II Large Ancillary Current Router I Large Projectile Collision Accelerator I Large Projectile Locus Coordinator I Hornet EC-300 x5 Vespa EC-600 x5 **Thank Dominionix** [Tempest, Thank Dominionix] Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Tracking Enhancer II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Damage Control II Prototype 100MN Afterburner I EM Shield Hardener II Multispectrum Shield Hardener II Multispectrum Shield Hardener II Heavy Capacitor Booster II, Cap Booster 800 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Republic Fleet EMP L Heavy Unstable Power Fluctuator I Heavy Unstable Power Fluctuator I Large Thermal Shield Reinforcer I Large Thermal Shield Reinforcer I Large Core Defense Field Extender I Infiltrator EV-600 x5 Warrior II x5 Bring faction short (RF EMP L, Phased Plasma L, etc) along with Barrage.

It's also quick, 1200m/s+ unbonused. With a claymore or something in fleet, that gets pushed to 1500m/s. 18,000 shield hitpoints with okay resists means you can take a little pounding too. With barrage it can hit out to 50km, so if you are paired up with a rapier or something, you can kite almost anything. **Zax's Bang For Buck Battleships - 1k DPS** [Tempest, 1k DPS] Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Gyrostabilizer II Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II 1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I Damage Control II 100MN Microwarpdrive II Heavy Capacitor Booster II, Cap Booster 800 ECCM - Ladar II Sensor Booster II Warp Disruptor II 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Domination EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Domination EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Domination EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Domination EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Domination EMP L 800mm Repeating Artillery II, Domination EMP L Large Remote Armor Repair System II Large Remote Armor Repair System II [empty rig slot] Large Projectile Collision Accelerator I Large Projectile Burst Aerator I Garde II x5
