## Summary

</div>


The Loki is the Minmatar Strategic Cruiser. Strategic cruisers are made up of the hull and 4 subsystems that can be swapped to change the ship's role, making them very flexible. They are also unique in that you can remove rigs from them without destroying the rigs in the process.

Some highlights of the Loki are:
 Defensive subsystems for both armor and shield tanking; the Loki is the only strategic cruiser to support this.
 Core subsystem for improved web range, allowing the Loki to be configured as a "super" Rapier or Huginn.
 Offensive subsystems to support autocannons, artillery and missiles (Rapid Lights, Heavy and Heavy Assault Missiles). Though note that the missile subsystem only bonuses the missile velocity of heavy and heavy assaults.
 Covert Reconfiguration subsystem (also available to other strategic cruisers) allows the Loki to be configured as a combat-capable covert-ops ship akin to a force recon ship.

The Loki has become the premiere T3 cruiser of Wormhole space, due to the meta shift towards the prevalence of neuts, making its versatility in weapons that don't require capacitor very attractive. In a pure combat subsystem configuration it can fit the best tank, whilst still giving respectable, versatile damage, especially when fitted with Launcher Efficiency Config subsystem and Heavy Assault Missiles.
## Skills
Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Loki for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.
## Tactics
Your tactics will naturally be dictated by your subsystem configuration:

The Web Loki (fitted with Immobility Driver subsystem and Interdiction Nullifier) is a very powerful utility platform when the fight takes place on the wormhole allowing opponents to webbed out to 31 km, and preventing them from approaching/re-approaching the wormhole. It can still contribute to the fight in the form of +/- 300 dps when Autocannon fit. Any warp interdiction bubbles launched during the fight is irrelevant to the Web Loki, allowing you to make a withdrawal from the fight/ bouncing from a celestial for a more advantageous position.
## Subsystems
Like other Strategic Cruisers, many of the stats of the Loki are determined by what subsystems are installed. The Loki requires one subsystem from each of the Core, Defensive, Offensive, and Propulsion subsystems. Each category has three options, offering different bonuses and stats to the Loki.

## Notes
In Norse mythology, Loki was a trickster god capable of shapeshifting. Mythological texts describe Hel, Fenrir, and Sleipnir, among others, as his children.
