¶ Summary
The is a Blood Raiders Force Auxiliary. It is bonused for remote armor repair cycle time and energy nosferatu range and drain amount. It requires both Amarr and Minmatar carrier skills to fly.
¶ Skills
Amarr Carrier and Minmatar Carrier to V.
Capital Remote Armor Repair Systems and Capital Repair Systems to V.
EM Armor Compensation, Thermal Armor Compensation, Kinetic Armor Compensation, and Explosive Armor Compensation to V.
Capital Capacitor Emission Systems to I to use faction and T1 Capital Nosferatu Modules, or to IV to use the T2 version. The skill itself is of no use as it doesn't affect Nosferatus.
Repair Drone Operation V.
Jump Drive Calibration to V is a must to achieve maximum jump range.
Not Essential but definitely nice to have are Jump Fuel Conservation V and Capital Ships V.
¶ Tactics
The Dagon is unlike any Fax. It is designed to be used in the presence of enemy capital ships so that its Capital Nosferatu Modules can steal capacitor from them and fuel its own local and remote repair modules. The Dagon is less effective in the presence of only enemy subcapital ships as Heavy Energy Nosferatus transfer significantly less capacitor and Capital Nosferatus are effectively useless against subcapitals.
Dagons do not see much use in nulsec or lowsec due to the inherent weak tank of FAXs compared to other capital ships and the Dagon's very high cost compared to other FAXs. The Dagon is primarily used in wormhole space where there are significantly fewer threats to FAXs and where the small advantage gained by a faction FAX is very valuable.
¶ Notes
Dagon (or Dagan) was a major deity in ancient Syria and Mesopotamia. He seems to have been associated with prosperity and kingship, and may have been a divine ancestor figure for other gods.
