The '''Hurricane''' (often simply the '''Cane''') has a long history of positive PvP and PvE performance and is one of the most versatile ships in the game. It can deal impressive DPS and can be shield or armor tanked. Most Minmatar pilots choose a Hurricane as their L3 mission ship, fitting either a passive shield tank or an active armor tank. In PvP the Hurricane can be fitted as a simple, armor-buffered short-range bruiser; a fast shield-tanked "Nanocane"; or as a shield-tanked, medium-range high-alpha artillery platform. Roaming gangs of shield tanked Hurricanes with [[Scimitar]] logistic support are a fearsome sight and a highly effective combat fleet.

* {{Sk|Minmatar Battlecruiser}} to at least IV to properly take advantage of the Hurricane's ''massive'' DPS buff that comes with every extra level in the skill.

* {{Sk|Gunnery|V}}, {{Sk|Medium Projectile Turret|V}} and {{Sk|Medium Autocannon Specialization}}/{{Sk|Medium Artillery Specialization}} trained to at least I to fit T2 guns, which do more damage and are substantially cheaper than the meta 4 variants, along with the ability to use T2 ammo types.

* Along with the obvious {{Sk|Power Grid Management}} and [[Skills:Electronic Systems|Electronic Systems]] fitting skills required for fitting most ships, {{Sk|Weapon Upgrades}} and {{Sk|Advanced Weapon Upgrades}} should be trained to V and at least II respectively to help alleviate fitting problems associated with the ship's powergrid.

* {{Sk|Sharpshooter}} is important for artillery fitted Hurricanes, though due to autocannons' small optimals it isn't as important for autocannon fits.

'''PvE'''

'''PvP'''

Hurricanes fitted for very short-range brawling muster a lot of DPS, especially with T2 autocannon and Hail ammo. Watch out for battleships and other battlecruisers, which might prove tankier than you. The Micro Jump Drive offers one useful approach to brawling fits, at the cost of significant fitting demands: you can attempt to kill anything which gets into warp scrambler range, and then MJD out of trouble.

Moving beyond warp disruption range, an artillery-fit Hurricane can provide solid mid-ranged DPS and high mid-ranged alpha damage in a kiting gang, if other ships hold down its targets. Fitting a full rack of 720mm artillery often requires excellent character [[fitting skills]] and/or at least one fitting module.
