Description

512 | 1024 (2009) | 2048 (2009)

The Merlin is the most powerful combat frigate of the Caldari. Its role has evolved through the years, and while its defenses have always remained exceptionally strong for a Caldari vessel, its offensive capabilities have evolved from versatile, jack-of-all-trades attack patterns into focused and deadly gunfire tactics. The Merlin's primary aim is to have its turrets punch holes in opponents' hulls. Caldari Frigate skill level: 5 % bonus to Small Hybrid Turret damage 4 % bonus to all shield resistances
