==Summary==

The '''Nighthawk''' is a Caldari attack command ship, bonused for missiles. It is more suited to damage dealing than the [[Vulture]], certainly at short range, and shares the Vulture's 6/4 mid/low layout and resist bonus, making it quite durable. It's short range bursts and lack of a buffer bonus make the Vulture more optimal for large sized fleet operations, though.

'''Version 18.07 - Release 2020-07-28.1 - Build: 1777281''' - ''Combat Command Update'' ([https://www.eveonline.com/article/qdgh0e/patch-notes-for-version-18-07#2020-07-28.1 Patch Notes])

:''[We're] trying to fix up the particularly underused [command ships], especially ones like the Nighthawk and Eos. [...]''

:''We're going to try and split the two sets of command ships a little more deliberately. So, the attack group, which is, like Nighthawk, Astarte, Absolution, and Sleipnir, are going to go from 3% bonus per level to their command burst strength to 4% per level, but they're going to lose the range bonus. ... [The] Astarte, Absolution, and Nighthawk are all going to speed up a little bit, and so hopefully they're a little bit easier to use in faster, smaller fleets, and offer a stronger bonus if you can make 'em work for that.''
