¶ Summary
The is a Guristas Force Auxiliary. It requires both Caldari and Gallente carrier skills to fly. Predictably for a Guristas ship, it offers a large boost to logistics drone durability and transfer amount.
¶ Skills
Caldari Carrier and Gallente Carrier both to V.
Capital Shield Emission Systems and Capital Shield Operation to IV, preferably V.
Repair Drone Operation to 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 Loggerhead functions much the same as the Minokawa it is based on, simply swapping out the remote capacitor bonuses for logistics drone bonuses. Loggerheads do not see much use in nulsec or lowsec due to the inherent weak tank of FAXs compared to other capital ships and the Loggerhead's very high cost compared to other FAXs. The Loggerhead 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
The Loggerhead could be named after a type of Oceanic Omnivorous Sea Turtle found in most parts of the world. It could also refer to the Loggerhead Shrike, a type of bird found in North America. It is known for its carnivorous tendencies and its habit of impaling its prey on thorns to kill them.
