The Muninn is far from being an exception.

The '''Muninn''' is a durable and powerful ship that has become one of the mainline subcapital ships used in large-scale nullsec warfare. Like other Heavy Assault Cruisers, it is faster and nimbler than battlecruisers and battleships. Strong and fairly even Tech 2 shield resists plus the ability to fit an Assault Damage Control let it take a lot of burst damage. Since the Muninn mounts projectile turrets, pilots can swap between different types of ammo to target different enemy damage type weaknesses.

 

These qualities together have made the Muninn a consistently popular ship for large, long-ranged PvP fleets, using artillery. Artillery's high alpha damage—the highest damage-per-shot potential of any turret type—lets a Muninn fleet one-shot enemy targets. This makes them difficult to counter with [[logistics]] ships, as they can sometimes delete targets before logistics ships can lock them up.

 

The Muninn is not without its weaknesses. With only four mid slots, it cannot effectively fit tackle or utility modules ''and'' a strong shield tank at once. When fitted for range, the Muninn's artillery will be outranged by the very longest-ranged competitor turrets, railguns. It is also simply a more expensive and skill-point-intensive ship than some other ships used in this "sniping" fleet role, such as the [[Ferox]]. The Muninn therefore loses efficiency in very large fleets, where artillery volleys would result in significant overkill, the Muninn itself can be killed in one shot, and fights can expand beyond artillery range; in those situations, railgun-toting ships such as the [[Eagle]] and Ferox become more popular.

 

The Muninn is typically fitted with artillery and a shield tank, and used en masse, in coordinated fleets of [[Doctrines|doctrine]]-fitted ships with limited individual-pilot initiative.

 

The Muninn's bonuses give it lots of damage potential and projection power using autocannon, but it sees only limited use as a kiting or brawling ship in smaller-scale PvP. If it has to fit tackle and utility modules, it cannot fit a substantial shield tank; meanwhile, the 90-67-25-10 armor resistance profile is highly specialized and leaves a gaping resistance hole, and an armor tank limits the ship's mobility. A pilot able to fly the Muninn is also able to fly the faster [[Vagabond]], a quintessential kiting ship.
