==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Nighthawk is a Caldari command ship bonused for missiles. It is more suited to damage dealing than the [[Vulture]], certainly at short range, but its 5/5 slot layout makes it slightly less tanky than the Vulture's 6/4 layout, so the Vulture is generally preferred for fleet boosting.
The '''Nighthawk''' is the Caldari attack command ship, bonused for missiles. As one of only two ships in the game to feature a 7.5% per level launcher rate-of-fire bonus, it is more suited to damage-dealing than the [[Vulture]], especially at short range. Since it shares the Vulture's shield resistance bonus and 6/4 mid/low layout, it is quite durable. However, the Nighthawk's short-range [[Command Bursts|command bursts]] and lack of a raw hitpoint bonus make the Vulture the preferred command ship for larger fleet operations.
 
== Skills ==
''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Nighthawk for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.''
 
== Tactics ==
''No sub-article about Nighthawk roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''
 
== Notes ==
"Nighthawk" is the name used in English for a number of species of mid-sized nocturnal insect-eating birds, also often called "nightjars". Unlike the ship, they are relatively un-intimidating.

==Tactics==
'''version 21.06 Release 2024-02-20.1''' ([https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-21-06  Patch Notes])
''No sub-article about Nighthawk roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''
* Added 50% Role Bonus to Command Burst Range to the Field Command subgroup of Command Ships (Absolution, Nighthawk, Astarte, Sleipnir).
* Rate of Fire bonus for Heavy and Heavy Assault Missiles reduced from 10% to 7.5% per level of Command Ships skill
* Kinetic Damage bonus for Heavy and Heavy Assault Missiles increased from 7.5% to 10% per level of Caldari Battlecruiser skill
 
'''Version 18.07 - Release 2020-07-28.1 - Build: 1777281''' - ''Combat Command Update'' ([https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/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.''
: -CCP Rise, [https://youtu.be/6xl7hMpxI8I?t=2265 Talking In Stations - Zenith (CCP Devs)] (timestamped video link)
* Shield and Information command burst strength and duration bonus increased from 3%/level to 4%/level (+1%/level)
* 100% bonus to command burst range removed
* Command ships HML/HAM rate of fire bonus increased from 7.5%/level to 10%/level (+2.5%/level)
* Max velocity increased from 140 m/s to 150 m/s (+10 m/s)
* Mass decreased from 14,810,000 kg to 13,200,000 kg (-1,610,000 kg)
** Base align time reduced from 13.35 s to 11.89 s (-1.46 s)
* Mid slots increased from 5 to 6 (+1)
* Low slots decreased from 5 to 4 (-1)
* Scan resolution increased from 195 mm to 234 mm (+39 mm, +20%)
 
'''October 2019 Release - 2019-10-15.1'''
 
''Every Cruiser, Battlecruiser and Battleship now warps faster than before.''
* Warp Speed increased from 3 AU/s to 4 AU/s (+1 AU/s)
