Eagle

This page should be updated due to game changes.
Reason: #Summary needs an overhaul. Bonuses were changed and the targeting range was reduced with the Version 20.10 "Uprising" update.

Civility ends where optimal range begins. – CEO Mens Reppola Built on the shoulders of the sturdy Moa and improving on its durability and range, the Eagle is the next generation in Caldari gunboats. Able to fire accurately and do tremendous damage at ranges considered extreme by any cruiser pilot, this powerhouse will be the bane of anyone careless enough to think himself out of its range. Developer: Ishukone Caldari starship design is showing a growing trend towards armaments effective at high ranges, and in this arena, as in others, Ishukone do not let themselves get left behind; the Eagle was intended by them as a counter to the fearsome long-range capabilities of Lai Dai's Cerberus ship.

Summary

The big brother of the Harpy and more advanced cousin to the Ferox, the Eagle's optimal range bonus and tracking speed bonus allow it to hit target both near and far with either railguns or blasters. With the innate long range of railguns, the Eagle can attain range that even sniper battleships can be proud of, while sporting much higher tracking. Furthermore, its shield resist bonus and innate high resists to kinetic and thermal damage it both extremely resistant to hostile railgun fire and the most durable shield-tanked Heavy Assault Cruiser on the market. The Ferox used to be more popular than the Eagle due to its significantly lower cost, but with the Ferox's repeated nerfs, the Eagle is now more popular with all but the poorest alliances. In comparison to its direct competitor the Ferox, the Ferox is cheaper, requires less skill training, is slightly longer ranged, and deals 20% more damage; however the Eagle is faster, harder to hit, has better tracking, can use the powerful Assault Damage Control, and is correspondingly more durable (especially against railguns). Prior to the 2022 HAC rebalance, the Eagle mostly lived in the shadow of its faster, high alpha competitor the Muninn. But after the rebalance, the Eagle reigns supreme as the preeminent cruiser gunboat for bloc warfare.
