== Heavy Assault Cruisers==

Heavy Assault Cruisers (commonly called "HACs") are extremely ~~versatile and~~ powerful ships. They combine high ~~speed and agility~~ with ~~either high DPS~~ and ~~decent tanks when fitted for close range~~, or ~~decent DPS and buffer tanks at very~~ long ~~ranges~~, ~~where only sniper~~ battleships ~~can fire back, when fitted for sniping~~.

Heavy Assault Cruisers (commonly called "HACs") are extremely straightforward but powerful ships. They combine moderately high damage with extremely tough shields and armor, and can be used easily as fleet-issue short-ranged brawlers or long-ranged snipers. They are often slower than tech 1 cruisers, but still far faster than battlecruisers or battleships.

Besides their obvious PvP applications, some HACs are also useful PvE ships because they combine substantial tanks and DPS with unusual mobility. This can be useful in, for example, running exploration sites in lowsec or nullsec, where pilots might need to make a quick getaway.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Zealot]]: Versatile laser ship. Does well at close or sniping ranges, buffer-tanked or active-tanked. Effective as a sniper in mid-sized gangs, however somewhat slower than other sniping cruisers.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Sacrilege]]: Extremely durable, but the slowest of the HACs, and its missiles suffer from short range and low damage output. However, also one of the few ships effective in Dark [[Abyssal Deadspace|Abyssal]] Filaments.

* {{icon|isis triglavian|22}}[[Ikitursa]]: Expensive, but extremely thick armor, high speed, and extended Entropic Disintegrator damage ramp. Begins with unimpressive damage, but slowly overtakes the damage of most battleships. Efficient at destroying structures, and hostile capital ships, as its cruiser signature makes it resistant to fighter damage. Near-undisputed king of [[Abyssal Deadspace|Abyssal]] PVP.
