== Summary ==
 
The '''Hurricane''' (often simply the '''Cane''') has a long history of positive PvP and PvE performance and is one of the most versatile ships in the game. It can deal impressive DPS and can be shield or armor tanked. Most Minmatar pilots choose a Hurricane as their L3 mission ship, fitting either a passive shield tank or an active armor tank. In PvP the Hurricane can be fitted as a simple, armor-buffered short-range bruiser; a fast shield-tanked "Nanocane"; or as a shield-tanked, medium-range high-alpha artillery platform. Roaming gangs of shield tanked Hurricanes with [[Scimitar]] logistic support are a fearsome sight and a highly effective combat fleet.

== Tactics ==
 +
'''PvE'''
 +
 
 +
Artillery is probably the preferable choice for basic mission-running combat, as it has a longer range. Autocannon might mean more incoming DPS (as you will have to fight closer to NPC enemies) and slower completion times (as you will have to travel into range), but they will muster more DPS and cope better with agile targets. Consider whether your character skills lend themselves more to shield or to armor tanking: for PvE, the Hurricane can mount a passive shield tank or an active armor tank. An active armor tank might be easier to fit and simpler to get right.
 +
 
 +
'''PvP'''
 +
 
 +
The range of possible fits and tactical approaches offered by the Hurricane is—typically for a Minmatar ship—very wide, and to describe them all in detail would make this article a hostage to fortune (game updates).
 +
 
 +
Hurricanes fitted for very short-range brawling muster a lot of DPS, especially with T2 autocannon and Hail ammo. Watch out for battleships and other battlecruisers, which might prove tankier than you. The Micro Jump Drive offers one useful approach to brawling fits, at the cost of significant fitting demands: you can attempt to kill anything which gets into warp scrambler range, and then MJD out of trouble.
 +
 
 +
With a shield tank, the Hurricane can pull quite respectable speeds, and adding together its 25% hull bonus to range with the effect of T2 Barrage ammo lets autocannon hit out to warp disruptor range effectively. It's therefore also possible to fly the Hurricane as a kind of giant [[Stabber]], faster than other large hulls and (hopefully) able to kill anything fast enough to catch it.
  
==Fitting==
+
Moving beyond warp disruption range, an artillery-fit Hurricane can provide solid mid-ranged DPS and high mid-ranged alpha damage in a kiting gang, if other ships hold down its targets. Fitting a full rack of 720mm artillery often requires excellent character [[fitting skills]] and/or at least one fitting module.

== Patch History ==
*The Feb 2013, Retribution 1.1 patch removed a high slot that had often held an energy neutralizer. This left it with one utility high slot. It is also had a slight reduction in hitpoints, and an increase in mass that was intended to slow down align times by two tenths of a second.[http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/74270]
 
*For artillery you most likely need Power Diagnostic Systems, Reactor Control Unit modules or Powergrid implants.

Summary

The Hurricane (often simply the Cane) has a long history of positive PvP and PvE performance and is one of the most versatile ships in the game. It can deal impressive DPS and can be shield or armor tanked. Most Minmatar pilots choose a Hurricane as their L3 mission ship, fitting either a passive shield tank or an active armor tank. In PvP the Hurricane can be fitted as a simple, armor-buffered short-range bruiser; a fast shield-tanked "Nanocane"; or as a shield-tanked, medium-range high-alpha artillery platform. Roaming gangs of shield tanked Hurricanes with Scimitar logistic support are a fearsome sight and a highly effective combat fleet.
