* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Zealot Zealot]: Versatile. Does well at close or sniping ranges, buffer-tanked or active-tanked. It is the best sub-BS sniper in the game, and has much better dps and tank in a close range fit then most other HACs, at the price of slightly lower speed and agility.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Sacrilege Sacrilege]: Tanks like a beast, decent damage with Heavy Assault Missiles. Active tank.

==== Caldari ====

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Cerberus Cerberus]: ~~Does what a Drake~~ can ~~but~~ at ~~four times~~ the ~~cost. Better~~ at ~~long ranges~~.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Cerberus Cerberus]: Long range missile boat. High theoretical DPS compared to other sniper HACs, but it suffers from damage delay and while other HACs can pretty much hit everything perfectly at the range sniper HACs usually engage at, Cerbs still get a damage reduction VS moving targets, even at range.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Eagle Eagle]: Hybrid turret gunboat, sniping with railguns or unconventionally fit with blasters.

==== Gallente ====

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Ishtar Ishtar]: Great tank, high damage, quite a dangerous HAC. Drone dependent, but can carry multiple flights of heavies or sentries.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Deimos Deimos]: Heavy tank, decent damage but slow for a HAC. Unloved, nicknamed "Diemost".

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Deimos Deimos]: Heavy tank, decent damage but slow for a HAC. Unloved, nicknamed "Diemost" since it's a very expensive ship that has to get in very close to its target when SR fitted. Combined with usually having very little tank, it's an obvious primary and can't survive for very long. It does allright in sniper gangs, although it's not the best for it.

==== Minmatar ====

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Muninn Muninn]: Great sniper HAC with artillery. Performs like a better-tanked Rupture at close range.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Muninn Muninn]: Great sniper HAC with artillery. Performs like a better-tanked Rupture at close range. Awesome alpha.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Vagabond Vagabond]: Nasty damage and good tackle, quick and agile, good in a gang. Will melt quickly if locked down.

Line 94:

They're best used in pairs with logistics ships as backup so that 1 HIC can bubble the hostiles while the other one is being remote repped; if the enemy starts shooting the bubbling HIC, it can drop its bubble and be repped back up again while the second HIC puts up its bubble instead.

The bubble can not be used in lowsec or highsec. ~~But~~ the bubble module can be loaded with a script which increases the range of the point by 50% and focuses its effect so that it acts as a normal warp disruptor with infinite strength instead of creating bubbles. Scripting the module to create this 'infinipoint' also removes all penalties caused by using it, except for the block on remote ~~repair~~. These are the only ships that can, using this infinite point, tackle super-capital ships in low sec.

The bubble can not be used in lowsec or highsec. However, the bubble module can be loaded with a script which increases the range of the point by 50% and focuses its effect so that it acts as a normal warp disruptor with infinite strength instead of creating bubbles. Scripting the module to create this 'infinipoint' also removes all penalties caused by using it, except for the block on remote support. These are the only ships that can, using this infinite point, tackle super-capital ships in low sec.

If you see a HIC in empire that seems to have its bubble up, don't worry: it's just a graphical bug caused by loading the grid after the point was activated. This bug has supposedly been fixed now, but you may still see it in some old videos.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Devoter Devoter] (Amarr)

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Devoter Devoter] (Amarr): Armor tank, has a better tank then the Phobos, but it has 1 less mid slot, which is significant in empire where HICs usually fit sensor boosters to help it catch fast targets. Additionally, in empire where HICs usually fit sensor boosters, it has a very hard time properly plugging its em resist hole.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Onyx Onyx] (Caldari)

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Onyx Onyx] (Caldari): Shield tank. Lower tank and speed then the Broadsword, but allot more cpu, enabling it to fit a probe launcher.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Phobos Phobos] (Gallente)

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Phobos Phobos] (Gallente): Armor tank. The Devoter tanks better, but the Phobos has an extra mid, making it better at catching fast targets in empire with its extra sensor booster.

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Broadsword Broadsword] (Minmatar)

* [http://wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Broadsword Broadsword] (Minmatar): Shield tank. Better speed and resists then the Onyx, at the price of CPU for utility mods.
