Zealot Capability

Zealot is the second fastest HAC after Minmatar infamous Vagabond. Zealot is actually simply taken from concepts of Armageddon which heavily relied on its firepower rather than tank from its khanid cousin the sacrilege. It has 4 turret slot with 1 utility slot, ideal situation for 4 Heavy pulse cannon and a Medium Nosferatu as its key weaponry. The ship has the same theme of tackling and deal lots of damage in shortest time.

Compared to vagabond, its not exactly very cap friendly where cap relay or booster is needed to feed into it so it can work flawlessly hammering its target. Its fall short when dealing EM tanked ship, drone ship or cap draining ship. It ain't capable to take a good beating but its better than vagabond in raw form. Against vagabond, a expensive fitted zealot could take out an average vagabond which zealots have superior range and firepower. Lacking drone bay may hurt a bit when dealing with monster speed freak but its not regular to see them in battle.

Basically, zealots have its functions in battle, but i just can't wait for next implementation of khanid mk II that touch sacrilege to be a potential beast.
