Light tactical cruisers

Light cruisers
"The light class tactical cruiser is the perfect combat support ship for an aggressive fleet configuration. The main gun turret cannot be used for repairs but puts out more damage than its siblings."

The light tactical cruiser has no tier 1-2, only T3 (Palos), T4 (Harwich), T5 (Cattaro).

Palos

As a very important note: there is no recovery ability in the main weapon! This is different from all the other TC's.

Harwich:

Cattaro:
As the latest masterpiece of Jupiter Arms engineering the Cattaro is not only more agile, it's also built to join the fray.

Overview
The Cattaro is a mix of both a disabler and a damage dealer. As such, it makes compromises on both fronts. Its Beam cannot be used for repairs, but it deals more damage than the other Tactical Cruisers. Therefore, repairs can only be done in the form of Repair Drones and Autobeam.

However, this Tac-Cruiser can easily be the most crippling ship in your squad. Tractor Beam Pods, Stasis Beam, Purge Beam, Drain Drones and Drain Mines are all Modules that offer disables, which coupled with high movement speed and Warps set the precedent for a very powerful support ship.

It can also be used as an "aura" ship, with Overclock Pulse, Cloak Pulse and Surge Drones all buffing allies nearby.
