== Summary ==

The '''Nidhoggur''' is the Minmatar [[carrier]]. Its fighter damage bonus makes it a popular choice for PvE. In that regard, it competes with the [[Thanatos]] which has the same damage bonus. In PvE its advantage over the Thanatos is the additional mid slot which is more valuable than a lowslot due to such modules as drone navs, omidirectional tracking links, or sensor boosters. The fighter HP bonus of the Thanatos is usually valued higher than the Nidhoggur's speed bonus though. Thus it mostly comes down to taste.

 

In PvP a shield tanked Nidhouggur can put out a good amount of damage for a carrier. But in many PvP situations, fighter health, speed, and application as well as neuting capabilities are more important than raw damage. The shield tank in the mids then gets in the way to increase fighter speed and application. Thus Nidhoggur fighters are usually slower than Thanatos fighters. It is also possible to armor tank a Niddhoggur for PvP. This opens up a lot of mid slots. But the Thanatos is usually still preferred due to its fighter health bonus.

== Tactics ==

''No sub-article about Nidhoggur roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''

== Notes ==

In Norse mythology, Nidhoggur was a serpent under the world who gnawed on the roots of Yggdrasil, the world-tree, and (in some accounts) also gnawed on the evil-doers condemned in the afterlife to Náströnd, a kind of underworld for especially heinous criminals. ''Nidhoggur'' is an Anglicization of Old Norse ''Níðhǫggr''.

== Patch History ==

** Increased the total number of Fighter Squad Tubes to 4 (from 3).

** Archon: +2% bonus (per level) to Cenobite Support Fighter neutralization strength.

** Chimera: +2% bonus (per level) to Scarab Support Fighter ECM strength.

** Thanatos: +2% bonus (per level) to Siren Support Fighter afterburner speed bonus.

** Nidhoggur: +2% bonus (per level) to Dromi Support Fighter stasis webification strength.

** Nidhoggur: 3,760 → 305 km.

* Carriers will now have the capability of using a Conduit jump to take 5-30 players in the jump tunnel with them. The Number of players which are passengers for the jump is increased by a new skill, Capital Jump Portal Generation, which increases the limit by 5 per level. This is built into Carriers and does not require a module to be fitted.

* Carriers will gain the ability to fit new capital sized versions of the Micro Jump Drive and the Micro Jump Drive Field Generator, both of these modules will require a new skill, Capital Micro Jump Drive Operation.

'''Rhea 1.0 Release on Tuesday, December 9, 2014'''

* Adjusted Nidhoggur fins so they are now present at all angles

* Fixed descriptions of the Chimera, Wyvern, Thanathos, Nyx, Nidhoggur, Hel and Revenant to properly link the Capital Shield Emission System skill in their "traits" tab.
