Alongside its cloaking brother, the [[Rapier]], the '''Huginn''' is a common feature in mobile gangs. It is prized for its ability to web targets at a greater range than any other ship in the game: 40km with T2 webifiers, and up to 60km with expensive faction webifiers. | Alongside its cloaking brother, the [[Rapier]], the '''Huginn''' is a common feature in mobile gangs.

By using its webs to hold down small, fast targets, the Huginn can stop [[Tackling|tackling]] ships in their tracks, making them vulnerable, and counter small- or medium-sized ships that try to use kiting or close-range speed-tanking tactics. Pilots of interceptors and T1 tackle frigates should be alert to the Huginn, as it can make a spherical area of the battlefield of at least 80km diameter highly dangerous for them.
