Caldari State Assault Frigates Merlin Class RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES EVE Online Ships Overview EXTERNAL LINKS Hawk on zKillboard Hawk on EVE Workbench Hawk on Janice Hawk on EVE Ref

Following in the footsteps of Caldari vessels since time immemorial, the Hawk relies on tremendously powerful shield systems to see it through combat, blending launchers and turrets to provide for a powerful, well-rounded combat vessel. Developer: Lai Dai Lai Dai have always favored a balanced approach to their mix of on-board systems, leading to a line-up of versatile ships but providing very little in terms of tactical specialization.

Summary

The Hawk is an assault frigate specialised in missiles and rockets. It can be fit with standard launchers, but is more commonly rocket fit, where its velocity bonus to missiles allows it to fire rockets out to overheated web range. One of the hawk's distinguishing features is its 5 mid slots, a feature shared by only one other dedicated combat frigate (the Hookbill); this gives it a lot of flexibility for fitting shield tank modules and/or tackling modules.

Patch History

A long, long time ago...

February Balance Update - 29.01.18 We are giving Assault Frigates a substantial balance pass. Every AF is getting a speed boost in the form of increased max velocity and lowered mass. Every AF is also getting base capacitor numbers increased by approximately 30%. Also, we have more significant changes for the Ishkur, Retribution, and Jaguar. All Assault Frigates: +18% max velocity -10% mass +30% capacitor Capacity

Notes

• The February Assault Frigate balance update introduced a new module for HACs and AFs, the Assault Damage Controls, which can replace the Damage Control module for these ships
