==Summary==
== Summary ==
''You can write a summary for Nighthawk here.''
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.

''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Nighthawk for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''

==Fitting==
== Tactics ==
''No tagged fittings for Nighthawk.''
''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.
 
== Patch history ==
{{Expansion past|width= 45%|1=
'''Version 22.02 -  Release 2025-03-12.1''' ([https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-22-02 Patch Notes])
 
''The warp speeds of all ships have been adjusted to bring them all together for similar sizes of ships.''


==Tactics==
* Warp speed reduced from 4.0 AU/s to 3.5 AU/s
''No sub-article about Nighthawk roles or piloting tactics. You can write them here.''
 
'''version 21.06 Release 2024-02-20.1''' ([https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/patch-notes-version-21-06  Patch Notes])
* 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)
