Each of the four major player factions manufactures its own distinct tactical destroyer. To pilot a tactical destroyer, you'll need to be an Omega clone, and train your racial Tactical Destroyer skill to at least level 1.
Copy the fits on this page to your clipboard, and import them in the fitting window in-game. Tweak as needed, or as you see fit!
Note that many of these fits are extremely tight on CPU and/or power grid, requiring perfect fitting skills. If you're still training your fitting skills, you can drop the microwarpdrive in favour of an afterburner. A cap battery or cap recharger are solid replacements.
Replacing the Tech II shield boosters or armour repairers with deadspace versions will greatly enhance these fits, if you don't mind the extra cost.
A 5-part video series exploring the suitability of tactical destroyers is now complete! The first part takes you through the ship attributes that makes them competitive for running high-security combat sites. The subsequent parts detail each faction's tactical destroyer, with suggested fits and commentary on which sites can be particularly difficult.
Small Energy Turret Stats Chart - View a chart comparing the DPS, optimal range, tracking, and capacitor usage for each Tech 2 small energy turret.
A versatile fit for running most high-security combat sites. This fit struggles in some of the more difficult Sansha's Nation and Angel Cartel combat sites, particularly the 4/10-rated DED sites (Occupied Mining Colony), and Vigil sites. However, it performs quite well against Serpentis, Guristas, and Blood Raiders.

Another sniper fit that sacrifices tank for scan resolution. This fit is proficient at running easier combat sites against any pirate faction, such as combat anomalies, and the Hideout and Lookout sites. Use it to accumulate escalations, then switch into a more suitable ship to actually run those escalations.
[Confessor, Escalation Collector] Heat Sink II Heat Sink II Signal Amplifier II Capacitor Power Relay II Small Armor Repairer II 1MN Y-S8 Compact Afterburner Sensor Booster II PL-0 Scoped Cargo Scanner Small Focused Beam Laser II Small Focused Beam Laser II Small Focused Beam Laser II Small Focused Beam Laser II Sisters Core Probe Launcher Small Tractor Beam II Small Capacitor Control Circuit II Small Targeting System Subcontroller II Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I Gleam S x8 Aurora S x8 Radio S x4 Ultraviolet S x4 Multifrequency S x4 Scan Resolution Script x1 Sisters Core Scanner Probe x8
A shorter range fit capable of tanking the more difficult Angel Cartel combat sites. Take out any target painters in Defense mode, before switching to Sharpshooter mode to handle the faction spawn.
[Confessor, Angel Face Tank] Small Armor Repairer II Kinetic Energized Membrane II Explosive Energized Membrane II Damage Control II Small Armor Repairer II 1MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner Small Compact Pb-Acid Cap Battery Cap Recharger II Small Focused Pulse Laser II Small Focused Pulse Laser II Small Focused Pulse Laser II Small Focused Pulse Laser II Sisters Core Probe Launcher Salvager II Small Capacitor Control Circuit II Small Capacitor Control Circuit I Small Auxiliary Nano Pump II Conflagration S x8 Scorch S x8 Standard S x4 Multifrequency S x4 Radio S x4 Sisters Core Scanner Probe x8
Another shorter range fit, but with EM and Thermal resists for tanking the more difficult Sansha's Nation combat sites. Stay in Sharpshooter mode for most combat scenarios, only switching to Defense mode if your tank begins to fail.
[Confessor, Sansha Face Tank] Small Armor Repairer II Thermal Energized Membrane II EM Energized Membrane II Damage Control II Small Armor Repairer II 1MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner Small Compact Pb-Acid Cap Battery Cap Recharger II Small Focused Pulse Laser II Small Focused Pulse Laser II Small Focused Pulse Laser II Small Focused Pulse Laser II Sisters Core Probe Launcher Salvager II Small Capacitor Control Circuit II Small Capacitor Control Circuit I Small Auxiliary Nano Pump II Conflagration S x8 Scorch S x8 Standard S x4 Multifrequency S x4 Radio S x4 Sisters Core Scanner Probe x8
Rocket and Light Missile Stats Chart - View a chart comparing the DPS and range for each Tech 2 launcher and missile type.
A versatile fit for running most high-security combat sites. When running the more difficult Watch or 4/10 sites, pull range to 60 kilometers while in defense mode, then engage in sharpshooter mode. Capable of completing combat sites against all pirate factions, with the exception of the Angel, Blood, and Sansha Vigil sites.
[Jackdaw, Long-Range PvE Sniper] Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Signal Amplifier II 5MN Quad LiF Restrained Microwarpdrive Small Shield Booster II 1MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner Shield Boost Amplifier II Sensor Booster II Light Missile Launcher II Light Missile Launcher II Light Missile Launcher II Light Missile Launcher II Light Missile Launcher II Sisters Core Probe Launcher Small Semiconductor Memory Cell II Small Capacitor Control Circuit II Small Hydraulic Bay Thrusters I Inferno Light Missile x3000 Inferno Auto-Targeting Light Missile I x3000 Scourge Light Missile x3000 Scourge Auto-Targeting Light Missile I x3000 Nova Light Missile x3000 Nova Auto-Targeting Light Missile I x3000 Mjolnir Light Missile x3000 Mjolnir Auto-Targeting Light Missile I x3000 Scan Resolution Script Sisters Core Scanner Probe x8
An alternate long-range fit with a stronger active shield tank. Suitable for pilots trying out the Jackdaw for their first time, but still not well suited to the Angel, Blood, or Sansha Vigil sites.
[Jackdaw, Long-Range PvE Tank] Ballistic Control System II Ballistic Control System II Power Diagnostic System II 5MN Quad LiF Restrained Microwarpdrive Medium Shield Booster II 1MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner Copasetic Compact Shield Boost Amplifier Cap Recharger II Light Missile Launcher II Light Missile Launcher II Light Missile Launcher II Light Missile Launcher II Light Missile Launcher II Sisters Core Probe Launcher Small Semiconductor Memory Cell II Small Semiconductor Memory Cell II Small Capacitor Control Circuit I Sisters Core Scanner Probe x8 Inferno Light Missile x3000 Inferno Auto-Targeting Light Missile I x3000 Scourge Light Missile x3000 Scourge Auto-Targeting Light Missile I x3000 Nova Light Missile x3000 Nova Auto-Targeting Light Missile I x3000 Mjolnir Light Missile x3000 Mjolnir Auto-Targeting Light Missile I x3000
A long-range fit capable of tanking the Angel Vigil site. In the second room, take a potshot at the shipyard while ignoring the stasis towers, then immediately take out Pat Wead.

Railgun Stats Chart - View a chart comparing the DPS and range for each Tech 2 railgun.
A versatile fit for running most high-security combat sites. This fit struggles in some of the more difficult Sansha's Nation and Angel Cartel combat sites, particularly the 4/10-rated DED sites (Occupied Mining Colony), and Vigil sites. However, it performs quite well against Serpentis, Guristas, and Blood Raiders.
This fit is cap stable in Sharpshooter mode when only the afterburner in the mid-slots is running.
[Hecate, Long Range PvE Sniper] Small Armor Repairer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Signal Amplifier II 5MN Quad LiF Restrained Microwarpdrive 1MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner Sensor Booster II PL-0 Scoped Cargo Scanner 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun Sisters Core Probe Launcher Small Ancillary Current Router II Small Capacitor Control Circuit II Small Capacitor Control Circuit I Sisters Core Scanner Probe x8 Lead Charge S x3000 Scan Resolution Script x1 Antimatter Charge S x3000 Iron Charge S x3000
An alternate long-range fit with a stronger active armour tank. A much more versatile choice, able to tackle all Sansha's Nation combat sites -- including the Sansha Vigil.
This fit is cap stable even in Defense mode.
[Hecate, Long Range PvE Tank] Damage Control II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Small Armor Repairer II 1MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun Sisters Core Probe Launcher Small Auxiliary Nano Pump II Small Auxiliary Nano Pump II Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I Sisters Core Scanner Probe x8 Lead Charge S x3000 Antimatter Charge S x3000 Iron Charge S x3000
A long-range fit capable of tanking the Angel Vigil site. It is nearly identical to the regular tank fit, swapping out the Damage Control for an Explosive Armor Hardener. In the second room, take a potshot at the shipyard while ignoring the stasis towers, then immediately take out Pat Wead.
This fit is cap stable even in Defense mode.
[Hecate, Long Range PvE Tank] Explosive Armor Hardener II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Magnetic Field Stabilizer II Small Armor Repairer II 1MN Monopropellant Enduring Afterburner Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun 150mm Prototype Gauss Gun Sisters Core Probe Launcher Small Auxiliary Nano Pump II Small Auxiliary Nano Pump II Small Auxiliary Nano Pump I Sisters Core Scanner Probe x8 Lead Charge S x3000 Antimatter Charge S x3000 Iron Charge S x3000
An alternate long-range fit that combines the ideas from both the sniper and tank fits above. This fit remains untested, but I believe it should be capable of freely roaming high-security, swapping out modules as needed when running the more difficult combat sites.
