Is there a tl;dr for those of us whose shitty work internet has all things EVE (except Backstage) blocked?  Would be appreciated.

From the devblog:

Many of you will recognize the ship model as the Seraphim from the „EVE Online: Create a starship contest“ on Deviant Art. So yes, we have another player creation entering the game this winter! Its designer, Michael Schierup, did a magnificent job on the visuals and we felt that the name „Talos“ would be even better suited for such a beautiful ship. In greek mythology Talos was a bronze giant who guarded the island of Crete and, just like our Talos, he wasn‘t particularly friendly to uninvited ships crowding his turf.

Like its Minmatar counterpart, the Tornado,  the Talos battlecruiser will be capable of fitting weapons normally reserved for larger vessels, worrying less about self defense capabilities.

The Talos excels as an “in your face glass cannon”. It will be a particularly dangerous blaster boat, especially with the hybrid rebalancing kicking in at the time of its birth.  Think of it as a smaller, more expendable Vindicator, if you will.

Sisi apparently has a prenerfed version of it.  No web bonus.  That was about the only thing about the hybrid buff that looked remotely interesting.
