==Summary==

The Hyena is the Minmatar Electronic Attack Frigate, and a T2 variant on the [[Vigil]]. It retains the Vigil's target painting bonuses, even slightly upgrading its effectiveness bonus. Most significantly it gets a large bonus to the range of stasis webs.

The Hyena is short on mid slots, meaning it usually needs to choose between being a target painting platform and webbing platform or it will be sub-par at both. As a TP platform the Hyena has a minor advantage over the Vigil due to its slightly higher TP effectiveness bonus, but the difference is small and the Hyena is considerably more expensive for the benefit. The usual use for the Hyena is as a webbing platform. Prior to Rubicon the Hyena had a short effective range on its webs even with the bonus, making it very vulnerable to attack by any target it webbed. Post-Rubicon with reasonable skills the Hyena can overheat its webs to reach 33km, allowing it to tackle kiting cruisers without being insta-killed by them, and making it a valuable addition to any gate camp to quickly web ships that try to burn back to the gate.

The usual use for the Hyena is for webs, often "screening" for a gang by keeping enemies away. With reasonable character skills, T2 webs on a Hyena overheat to 33 km. Two webs can pin a target to more or less its base hull speed even with the target's MWD running, leaving the target with a MWD-bloomed signature and slow speed; this can make it very easy for allies to apply DPS. As with its bigger siblings the [[Huginn]] and [[Rapier]], in the Hyena it's important for pilots to remember that webs on their own do not stop a target warping away—indeed, by causing faster align times, they speed up the target's escape. Coordination with tackling ships able to apply points is necessary.
