  info: The powerful Navy Megathron has seen the end of many a threat to the Federation's
    security, and it's only getting better.  Recent improvements in the original design
    have paved the way for its use in a wider field of tactical operations than originally
    intended, making it one of the most useful war vessels to be found anywhere.

## Summary

</div>
The Megathron Navy Issue (also called the Navy Megathron) is a simple upgrade on the regular Megathron. It has an additional high slot, allowing for a neut or smartbomb, more CPU and powergrid and more base tank. Probably most useful, it also has an expanded drone bay, allowing it to carry a heavy drone flight and a medium or light drone flight.

## Skills

</div>
Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Megathron Navy Issue for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.
<div style="display: flow-root;">

## Tactics

</div>
When flown in vanguard sites, in the absence of a Vindicator this ship will be focusing on the close-orbiting frigate enemies, using its tracking bonus and rate of fire bonus to quickly clear them off the field. On the flip side, keep an eye on your ammo levels, as the rate of fire bonus will eat through your ammo stockpile much more quickly than usual.
