A well skilled, T2 fit Catalyst shells out over 700dps. That's what you want to use for miners. Cheap Thrasher can kill pods and shuttles, but that's about it.


Out of pure curiosity...

What fit is this? 700 DPS is nuts coming out of a gank cat.



Three tech II Neutron Blasters, Void ammo, three tech II Magstabs, one each of +10% damage and +10% firing speed rigs.

With my skills and implants, it's 696 DPS. Could be higher if I trained Small Blaster Specialization 5, or splashed out on higher priced hardwirings. (I have all other relevant skills).

Like people have said, thrashers are mostly for lowskilled characters that want to pop autopiloting pods.

With a properly fitted thrasher you can kill shuttles, noobships, lightly tanked frigates AND their pods
in one go under sentry fire. You can't do that with a catalyst.

Different ships for different situations.

A thrasher is much better suited to gank unded sentry fire than a catalyst.


Confirming pure gank cat is not suited for gates, this cat works well for autopiloting indys on gates. Also works for lightly tanked frigs but good timing and positioning are essential as they are much faster than indys and a blaster cat has to stay close.

Thrasher is better suited for small ships and podding.

Rail Thorax or Moa for manual piloting or moderately tanked autopiloting indys.
