A midline destroyer from the golden age of the Domain, the Hammerhead is respected for its staying power in battle as well as its ballistic capabilities.

–In-Game Description

The Hammerhead is a versatile midline destroyer that performs well both as flagship and escort.

Notes

True to its name, the Hammerhead is all about the head-on engagement owing to its front shield and large amount of forward-facing hardpoints; its side and rear firepower is limited to the four small hybrid turrets. The Extended Shields hullmod will give 360° coverage.

Suggested Strategies and Loadouts

Skirmisher custom variant
  • Skirmisher Variant (custom): This "kinetics 'n missiles" loadout uses its twin Heavy Autocannons to pummel enemy shields and hits them with the Harpoon MRMs when they're vulnerable. Including the Expanded Missile Racks hullmod ensures a sufficient supply of Harpoons for the Hammerhead to get the job done.
