Essentially a pared-down version of its big brother the Hel, the Nidhoggur nonetheless displays the same austerity of vision evident in its sibling. Quite purposefully created for nothing less than all-out warfare, and quite comfortable with that fact, the Nidhoggur will no doubt find itself a mainstay on many a battlefield. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Nidhoggur is the Minmatar carrier, a mobile long-range damage dealers. Due to its base speed, non-reliance on low slots, and large fighter damage bonus, the Nidhoggur is the most popular carrier for PvE combat. Nidhoggurs can complete multiple combat anomalies very quickly, especially if equipped with Hyperspatial Accelerator rigs. In PvP, the Nidhoggur is the preferred shield carrier again due to its high damage, agility, and larger fighter bay compared to the Chimera.
Skills
Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Nidhoggur for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.
Tactics
For PvE, the Nidhoggur usually has a full rack of racial fighters for DPS and should always stay aligned to either a safe spot, POS, or Upwell structure, so that it can warp out when potential threats appear in Local chat or in a friendly intel channel.
For PvP, the Nidhoggur does well as a hot drop carrier for fast hit-and-run operations. High damage and decent fighter speeds allow it to perform well in this type of engagement. Generally, though, the Thanatos is preferred for most carrier deployments outside of huge capital fights, because it has more midslots for damage application and fighter velocity, allowing it to match the the Nidhoggur: the Nidhoggur needs at least one Drone Navigation Computer, ideally two, to really put that fighter velocity bonus to good use.
Notes
In Norse mythology, Nidhoggur was a serpent under the world who gnawed on the roots of Yggdrasil, the world-tree, and (in some accounts) also gnawed on the evil-doers condemned in the afterlife to Náströnd, a kind of underworld for especially heinous criminals. Nidhoggur is an Anglicization of Old Norse Níðhǫggr.
