==Summary==
==Summary==
The Bowhead serves a purpose as the game's premier high-sec ship carrier. It has the ability to carry many fitted ships inside its massive Ship Maintenance Bay, allowing players who commonly need several fitted ships to easily transport their fleet from one location to another. Pilots who take part in activities such as Incursions will find great use out of the Bowhead, being able to use it to carry several fitted Battleships and Cruisers across high security space.

Though the Bowhead has already impressive base health, the ability for the freighter to fit low slot modules such as Damage Control and mid slot modules like an Adaptive Invulnerability Field creates one of the toughest ships found in high security space, with potential to exceed over 500 000 EHP with ease.

Use a 500mn Microwarpdrive to decrease your align time to 10 seconds. If you use the Microwarpdrive for a single cycle while aligning for a warp, your ship will have crossed the required speed to enter warp by the time it finishes. This can allow you to fit low slot modules to increase your survivability rather than your agility.

'''18.04 Release - Build: 1706308 - 2020-04-15''' - ''"Surgical Strike" Update'' ([https://www.eveonline.com/article/q8tteh/patch-notes-for-18-04-release Patch Notes])
:'''''Suicide Ganking and the Void buff'''
:''This topic is more complicated to untangle but it is certainly not our intention to make suicide ganking easier or cheaper. While divorcing damage increases from suicide ganking is not simple, we are planning to increase freighter hp while we do some investigation on the current state of high sec ganks. Depending on results from those investigations we will look at further changes if necessary.'' -CCP Rise, [https://forums.eveonline.com/t/surgical-strike-update-follow-up/231061 Surgical Strike Update Follow-up]
