As YC117 came to a close, the Imperial Navy found itself facing the most significant series of crises in over seven years. The loss of Empress Jamyl Sarum to the hostile and enigmatic Drifter fleet followed by further Drifter incursions into the Empire left the Navy stretched thin and barely able to keep up with the demands of defending the throne worlds. In response to these challenges, the Empire has turned to their Capsuleer allies for support in their time of need. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Crucifier Navy Issue (CNI) is the Amarr faction EWAR frigate, and is a heavier, more combat-oriented version of the Crucifier. When CCP introduced navy faction EWAR frigates in December 2015, the ships were intended to bring electronic warfare tactics into solo and small-gang combat. The CNI has bonuses that should work well in close-range combat. Like the Crucifier, the CNI has a bonus to weapon disruption effectiveness, which allows it to escape damage from turrets or missiles; and it has a bonus to small laser damage, which helps its two fitted lasers do the damage of four. The ship also has enough CPU, powergrid, and mid slots to fit a warp scrambler and stasis webifier, which allows the ship to be flown as a close-range brawler. (Weapons disruptors fitted to the CNI have a 85% range penalty, which limits them to short engagement distances anyway.)
Strategically, however, the CNI doesn't do anything uniquely better than other frigates. When fit with a propulsion module, scram and web, it has fitting room for just one weapon disruptor, which is not enough to mitigate damage from opponents with small turrets or rockets; the Tech I Crucifier is much better at weapon disruption. The CNI is slower than other tackling frigates, so it has a tough time keeping up with kiting opponents, even when it manages to get into webbing range. And even with the bonus to laser damage, the fact that the CNI can only fit two lasers means that its DPS is not great. Solo, there isn't a lot that a CNI can handle. And in most small gangs, a Crucifier or a Sentinel would make a better partner.

Tactics
The reason is: evaluate this new ship
- Choose your targets carefully; if you are fitted with a tracking disruptor target ships that utilize turrets such as Amarr or most Minmatar frigates (excluding the Breacher which has bonuses for rockets and light missiles). If fitted with a guidance disruptor target missile boats such as Caldari frigates (excluding the Merlin which has bonuses for small hybrid turret).
