They have a fast recloak time, and short scanner recalibration delay, but lack much ability to fit weapons. Attack ships covert op ships are designed to cloak, and launch quick small hit-and-run type of attacks, then escape. They are fast, but suffer long sensor recalibration times, and lock on times so caution must be used when attacking. Stealth bombers are the heavy hit-and-run ships. They use cruise missiles to attack their target. They can’t use the covert ops cloaking device, but they gain a speed bonus when cloaked so they go faster when cloaked. They also don’t have a sensor recalibration time, so you can uncloak, lock, fire and hide again. Interceptors are the fastest ships available, and typically serve the role as first strike craft, or tacklers in head on assaults. They are very fast, have a small signature radius, and are suited to electronic warfare. They also make nice transports for very valuable items. The downside is they don’t have a lot of CPU or powergrid for fitting weapons. Assault ships are the most popular Tech 2 Frigate as they are like their base model, with more fitting room, and better stats. For Caldari they have the Harpy and Hawk.
Cerberus. Eagle is a very powerful long- range rail gun platform, designed for support fire and sniping. Cerberus is the missile platform; it is also fairly long range, and deals lots of damage. Recon ships are like Covert ops, but serve slightly different roles. There are 2 types; Attack and Force. Force Recon ships are electronic warfare based ships that uncloak, and lock down enemy ships to they are easier to take out with the fleet, or create cynosureal fields for capital ships to jump in. Attack Recon ships are designed to pop out and launch surprise hit and run strikes. Complemented with some stealth bomber, they can be quite deadly. Logistics ships are the ‘healers’ of the fleets, because they usually have bonuses to cap or shield transfer arrays or remote armour repairers. They usually possess minimal weapons, but decent ECM, and shield/ armour resists so they can survive a bit longer.
Tech 2 Destroyers have been released to
serve a completely new role that has yet to be done, truly mobile warp disruptor, also called an interdictor. They are designed to launch warp scramble drones to create a large trap for ships. They also possess some weapons, but are not the strongest ships. The warp scramble they generate is 20km in radius, and so powerful that not even super carriers or titans can escape, the downside is you are scrambled with
Tech 2 Cruisers come in 2 types; Heavy
Assault Ships, Recon ships, and Logistics ships. Heavy Assault Ships, AKA HAC, are bigger, more powerful cruisers with various upgrades. For Caldari there is Eagle, and
