Often overlooked in the leap from frigates to cruisers, the Catalyst is a valuable tool for the aspiring Gallente pilot. The ship's eight turret hardpoints and supporting bonuses give it a peerless ability to destroy small, fast moving targets like frigates and even interceptors. It can run low level mission with ease in PVE and functions admirably in PVP eliminating tacklers and other small targets before they can harass larger ships that might be unable to deal with them. Unfortunately the ship's underwhelming mid and low slot layout as well as limitations to its powergrid and capacitor mean that even if a pilot can manage to fit the full eight gun setup they will be hard pressed to back it up with any kind of meaningful tank. Pilots are well advised to capitalize on the ship's range bonuses and stay well away from the fray, as entering it will be done at their own peril. When out of combat the Catalyst takes on a second life. With its high slots and substantial cargo hold repurposed it can be used as a potent industrial ship. It can mine nearly as much as its much larger cousin the Vexor, and when fitted with an afterburner it is arguably second to none as a salvaging platform. Any Gallente pilot would be well served to have such a ship at their disposal.
