==Summary==

The Nidhoggur is the Minmatar carrier, ~~a mobile long-range~~ damage ~~dealers~~. ~~Due~~ to ~~its base speed~~, ~~non-reliance on low slots~~, ~~and large~~ fighter ~~damage~~ bonus, the ~~Nidhoggur~~ is the ~~most popular carrier for PvE combat~~. ~~Nidhoggurs~~ can ~~complete multiple combat anomalies very quickly, especially if equipped with Hyperspatial Accelerator rigs~~. In PvP, the Nidhoggur is the preferred ~~shield carrier again~~ due to its ~~high damage, agility, and larger~~ fighter ~~bay compared to the [[Chimera]]~~.

The Nidhoggur is the Minmatar [[carrier]]. Its fighter damage bonus makes it a popular choice for PvE. In that regard, it competes with the [[Thanatos]] which has the same damage bonus. In PvE its advantage over the Thanatos is the additional mid slot which is more valuable than a lowslot due to such modules as drone navs, omidirectional tracking links, or sensor boosters. The fighter HP bonus of the Thanatos is usually valued higher than the Nidhoggur's speed bonus though. Thus it mostly comes down to taste.

In PvP a shield tanked Nidhouggur can put out a good amount of damage for a carrier. But in many PvP situations fighter health, speed, and application as well as neuting capabilities are more important than raw damage. The shield tank in the mids then gets in the way to increase fighter speed and application. Thus Nidhoggur fighters are usually slower than Thanatos fighters. It is also possible to armor tank a Niddhoggur for PvP. This obviously opens up a lot of mid slots. But the Thanatos is usually still preferred due to its fighter health bonus.
