Already possessing a reputation despite its limited initial circulation, the Harpy is a powerful railgun platform with long range capability and strong defensive systems. Formidable both one-on-one and as a support ship, it was referred to as the "little Moa" by the pilots who participated in its safety and performance testing.

Developer: Ishukone

Ishukone created the Harpy as a long-range support frigate for defense of Ishukone holdings as well as increased muscle and visibility in the constantly shifting game of cold war the Caldari megacorps' police forces play amongst themselves.

Summary

The Harpy's dual bonus to optimal range of hybrids multiply together to give a whopping 125% increase in optimal range, which combined with the innate long range of railguns allows the Harpy to shoot out to 100k with T2 rails and ammunition, which is a ludicrous range for a frigate. On the down side when rail fit it doesn't do a lot of damage even against frigates, so any enemy it fires upon will likely be able to warp away before being destroyed.

The Harpy can also be blaster fit for short range high DPS, and by doing so it can apply damage at a longer range than other blaster assault frigates (see Ishkur or Enyo). Although the Harpy cannot put out as much DPS as the Enyo just by looking at the numbers, it can much more easily apply its full damage to opponents thanks to its 4 mid slots, making the prop/scram/web combo (for range dictation) possible with an additional shield tanking mod.

Notes

  • In February 2018, the Assault Frigate balance update introduced a new module for HACs and AFs, the Assault Damage Control, which can replace the Damage Control module for these.
