======Destroyers======

Destroyers almost have the firepower of a [[eve:ships:cruisers|cruiser]], but they also have the mass and speed of a cruiser combined with the near nonexistent tank of a [[eve:ships:frigates|frigate]].

Destroyers were buffed in the Crucible expansion to bring them more in line with their intended role: small, cheap damage platforms. Sensor boosted Destroyers fitted with high damage, slow rate of fire weapon systems are a decent choice as they can quickly lock and one-shot hostile T1 frigates. Because of their high firepower and low price, they make an excellent choice for suicide ganking.

With the Retribution expansion tier 2 destroyers were introduced. They rely on missiles and drones to deal damage.

For PvE, they are great for Level 1 missions and most of the Sisters of Eve Epic Arc as they chew through T1 frigates with panache. They are a poor choice for Level 2 missions and above. Destroyers also make excellent [[training:guides:guide_to_making_isk_in_nullsec|salvaging]] ships because of their large number of high slots and decent cargo bay.

Hull size: Small.

Approximate cost, average fit: 1-2 million isk.
