The '''Hyena''' is the Minmatar Electronic Attack Frigate, a Tech 2 variant of the [[Vigil]]. It retains the Vigil's target painting bonuses, with a slight boost to the effectiveness bonus. It also gets a large bonus to the range of stasis webifiers, and a reduction in the size of its signature radius, making it harder to hit with turrets and harder to hurt with missiles. | The '''Hyena''' is the Minmatar Electronic Attack Frigate, a Tech 2 variant of the [[Vigil]].

The Hyena is used in various PvP contexts, and is valued for its ability to help to pin targets down, to "screen" for a gang by slowing down incoming tackle, and to hold targets up at gatecamps. | The Hyena is used in various PvP contexts, and is valued for its ability to help to pin targets down, to "screen" for a gang by slowing down incoming tackle, and to hold targets up at gatecamps. | ||

The Hyena deserves solid [[fitting skills]] and [[support skills]]. {{sk|Propulsion Jamming}} level IV is required for Tech 2 webs, which are the ''minimum'' meta level of webs that the ship should fit. Good shield skills will help mount a basic shield buffer which can take advantage of the ship's attractively balanced Tech 2 shield damage resistance profile. {{sk|Electronic Attack Ships}} should be trained to level IV before undocking the ship, and the per-level web range bonus attached to it is so substantial that any habitual Hyena pilot should consider training it to V. | The Hyena deserves solid [[fitting skills]] and [[support skills]]. {{sk|Propulsion Jamming}} level IV is required for Tech 2 webs, which are the ''minimum'' meta level of webs that the ship should fit.

With only 4 mid slots and (usually) a need for propulsion and a basic shield tank, fitting the Hyena forces tough choices between webs or target painting. As a target painting platform, the Hyena has a minor advantage over the Vigil due to its slightly higher painter bonus, but the difference is small, and the Hyena is considerably more expensive. The ship is more commonly flown for its webs. Weapons are nice to have and might be able to mount a token resistance to drones, but they are not central to the ship's purpose. | With only 4 mid slots and (usually) a need for propulsion and a basic shield tank, fitting the Hyena forces tough choices between webs or target painting.

With reasonable character skills, Tech 2 webs on a Hyena overheat to 33 km. Faction webs can considerably extend this range. 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. In a gatecamp, the Hyena can slow down targets which are trying to burn out of a bubble or back to the gate. Local or remote sensor boosting can be helpful in this context. | With reasonable character skills, Tech 2 webs on a Hyena overheat to 33 km. Faction webs can considerably extend this range.

The Hyena's powerful range control might, at first sight, raise the possibility of solo PvP applications, but the ship's DPS potential is anaemic. The [[Vigil Fleet Issue]] is a better choice for this purpose. | The Hyena's powerful range control might, at first sight, raise the possibility of solo PvP applications, but the ship's DPS potential is anaemic.
