rockets... Rockets and a good dose of speed... In fact, forget the speed.... more rockets

This is a close range fit that I have used with some effectiveness.

[Corax, MWD Corax]

Damage Control II
Micro Auxiliary Power Core II

Medium Shield Extender II
Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive I
Warp Scrambler II
Fleeting Propulsion Inhibitor I

Small Bay Loading Accelerator I


Stats (with all level 5 skills):
- moves at ~1400 m/sec
- has ~8000 ehp
- capacitor power is stable at ~45%
- deals ~210 dps @ ~11km (~140 dps @ ~20km using Javelin Rockets)


At scram-web range the Thrasher and Algos are just plain better though... both pumping out close to 350 to 400 dps with 8 to 10k ehp tanks.
However I have found the Corax to be quite effective in "running fights" where you have some range superiority. Just soften things up before they catch you and then overload when they do.

Use your dual webs to hold them at the edge of scram range and slow enough that your rage rockets hit for full damage. Hopefully they won't imagine that you are Armour fit and so won't try to exploit your Explosive resist hole.

Needs a 3% PG implant to fit.

9.1K EHP, 229 DPS Overheated.

I can confirm that 400 plate is absolutely a beast on this thing.

Less DPS on paper however you can use ranges on literally everything other than like, a linked AB Dram.

That fit is good, I usually drop the trimark for damage but that varies on preference I guess, also afaik if you drop to a Meta plate you can fit an MWD.

I would ditch a prop mod and double down on tanking

But all in all i think the Corax is pretty weak.

It is. Compared to the other brawling dessies, Thrasher, Algos, Coercer, it gets smashed. The only reason it beats the Corm/Catalyst is their lack of low/mid slots. (And I'm sure the other dessies will beat them with a larger margin)


Missiles need to go hand in hand with speed, and the Corax has 0 speed.

Just fly an RLM caracal, and do everything better than a corax- kill everything.
