As one of only two ships in the game to feature a 7.5% per level launcher rate-of-fire bonus, it is more suited to damage-dealing than the [[Vulture]], especially at short range. Since it shares the Vulture's shield resistance bonus and 6/4 mid/low layout, it is quite durable. However, the Nighthawk's short-range [[Command Bursts|command bursts]] and lack of a raw hitpoint bonus make the Vulture the preferred command ship for larger fleet operations. | ||
