What is it for? Is it a really cheap tackler? It has a higher scan resolution than the Incursus and a higher base speed, but a shorter targeting range. However, I almost never see it being used and the Incursus seems to domiate as the PVP Gallente frigate.

much cheaper than a rifter. too bad one of its weapons bonuses is meh. I mean the falloff bonus.
incursus kinda sux too, not enough powergrid or lows or speed and agility to compete. -- You can't do that with a Planet. |

A lot of folks argue the Rifter is best, I don't want to argue down that road. I am curious what the role of the Atron is, as most ships have a pretty clear one.

slap 2 nanos, a MWD and a warp distruptor on it and you got a decent cheap tackler for the corp nubbins --------------------------------------------- Playing minmatar is "like going down a flight of stairs in a office chair firing an Uzi". |

Edited by: Not Well on 20/05/2009 09:48:14 Falloff bonus is great for blasters, which is what a lot of people will fit on an Atron, as their targeting range is not impressive.
Is this all the ship is, a Zerg tackler for people in the first month of the game? Surely there are some other imaginative uses it gets put to?

Prometheus Exenthal uses one in some of the Frigank videos.

Edited by: Flitz Farseeker on 20/05/2009 10:28:11 You could use it as a fast courier, with either nanos and an AB or warp core stabs and a MWD.
This makes it faster and a bit more durable than a shuttle and the WCS build can shake off a lone ship with a disruptor or scrambler. However, I suspect minnie frigs with their speed bonuses do this better, so this would only be of interest to pure Gallente pilots.

Most minnie ships lost their speed boni... actually AFAIK the Republic Fire Tail is the only frigate that still has one. -----------------------------------------------

Yeah, like some people said, it's an upgraded shuttle, in case you can't or don't want to fly minnie.

You know, the Atron is only 2.7% slower than a Taranis. Obviously a far lesser ship over all, but still pretty quick. Depending on fittings, you could have an Atron out running a Taranis.
I like the courier idea mentioned above.

It's an awesome tackler and cheap solo PvP ship that is normally underestimated. Not the best by all means, but still good.

I always found it interesting that the Atron can have 4 base target locks, while the Incursus can only have 3.
