=== Amarr ===

* {{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Zealot]]: Versatile. Does well at close or sniping ranges, buffer-tanked or active-tanked. ~~The best sub-BS~~ sniper in ~~the game~~, ~~much better DPS and tank in a close range fit then most~~ other ~~HACs, at the price of slightly lower speed and agility~~.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Zealot]]: Versatile. Does well at close or sniping ranges, buffer-tanked or active-tanked. Effective as a sniper in mid-sized gangs, however somewhat slower than other sniping cruisers.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Sacrilege]]: ~~Tanks like a beast~~, ~~decent~~ damage ~~with Heavy Assault Missiles~~. ~~Active tank~~.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Sacrilege]]: Extremely durable, but the slowest of the HACs and plagued by low damage output. However, also one of the few ships effective in Dark [[Abyssal Deadspace|Abyssal]] Filaments.

=== Caldari ===

* {{icon|isis caldari|22}}[[Cerberus]]: Long range missile boat. ~~High~~ theoretical DPS ~~compared to other sniper HACs~~, but ~~missile travel time delays the~~ damage. ~~Other HACs can pretty much hit everything perfectly at their usual sniping ranges, where the Cerberus's missiles still get a damage penalty when hitting moving targets~~.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22}}[[Cerberus]]: Long range missile boat. Highest theoretical DPS of any sniping HAC, but kinetic-locked and suffers from delayed-damage and possible reduced application. Occasionally used in [[Wormhole Space#Wolf Rayet|Wolf Rayet Wormhole]] Systems to terrifying effect.

* {{icon|isis caldari|22}}[[Eagle]]: Hybrid turret gunboat, sniping with railguns or unconventionally fit with blasters. ~~Very~~ durable, and popular in large fleets ~~similar to~~ a more advanced and expensive [[Ferox]].

* {{icon|isis caldari|22}}[[Eagle]]: Hybrid turret gunboat, sniping with railguns or unconventionally fit with blasters. Longest range of any sniping HAC, very durable, and popular in large fleets where it works like a more advanced and expensive [[Ferox]].

=== Gallente ===

* {{icon|isis gallente|22}}[[Ishtar]]: ~~Great tank~~, high ~~damage~~, ~~quite a dangerous HAC. Drone dependent~~, ~~but can carry multiple flights of heavies~~ or ~~sentries. Passive shield tanking potential and its drones make~~ it ~~popular for PvE too~~.

* {{icon|isis gallente|22}}[[Ishtar]]: After the rework of the Vexor Navy Issue, the Ishtar stepped in as one of the new mainline PVE drone cruisers. Large drone bay, high bandwidth, extended drone control range, and solid defenses (shield or armor) give it great flexibility in target or engagement choices.

* {{icon|isis gallente|22}}[[Deimos]]: ~~Capability for High~~ DPS with ~~very little~~ tank ~~which has earned this~~ ship its nickname, the "Diemost." It's a very expensive ship that has to get very close to its target when close-range fitted. Given that it also usually has very little tank with High DPS(800+), it's an obvious primary, and can't survive for very long. It does alright in sniper gangs, although it's not the best option for them.

* {{icon|isis gallente|22}}[[Deimos]]: Able to attain the highest close-range DPS of any HAC; however the extremely short range of its blasters combined with its suboptimal tank (compared to other armored HACs) earn the ship its nickname, the "Diemost."

=== Minmatar ===

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22}}[[Muninn]]: ~~Great sniper HAC with~~ artillery. ~~Performs~~ like a ~~better-tanked~~ Rupture ~~at close range~~. ~~Awesome [[EVE Lexicon#Alpha_Strike|alpha]]~~.

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22}}[[Muninn]]: Faster, shorter ranged, and more fragile than the Eagle or Zealot, but able to provide extremely high artillery alpha-strike damage. When alternatively fit with autocannons, performs like a greatly upgraded Rupture. Extremely popular in mid-sized fleets.

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22}}[[Vagabond]]: ~~Nasty~~ damage ~~and good tackle~~, ~~quick~~ and ~~agile~~, ~~good in a gang. Will melt~~ quickly if ~~locked~~ down~~. Stabber hulls, like the Vaga, are the fastest cruisers in the game, with the exception of some pirate faction ones~~.

* {{icon|isis minmatar|22}}[[Vagabond]]: Built off of the Stabber hull and thus the fastest of the HACs. Excellent autocannon damage projection for small gang combat, and able to handle Electrical [[Abyssal Deadspace|Abyssal]] Filaments with ease. However, its relatively thin shields will quickly collapse if it is held down and focused.

=== Triglavian ===

* {{icon|isis triglavian|22}}[[Ikitursa]]: Expensive, but extremely thick armor, high speed, and ~~takes full advantage of the~~ Entropic Disintegrator's damage ramp. Begins with unimpressive damage, but slowly overtakes the damage of most battleships. Efficient at destroying structures, and hostile capital ships, as its cruiser signature makes it resistant to fighter damage.

* {{icon|isis triglavian|22}}[[Ikitursa]]: Expensive, but extremely thick armor, high speed, and extended Entropic Disintegrator damage ramp. Begins with unimpressive damage, but slowly overtakes the damage of most battleships. Efficient at destroying structures, and hostile capital ships, as its cruiser signature makes it resistant to fighter damage. Near-undisputed king of [[Abyssal Deadspace|Abyssal]] PVP.
