Hyena
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES
|
Electronic attack ships are mobile, resilient electronic warfare platforms. Although well suited to a variety of situations, they really come into their own in skirmish and fleet encounters, particularly against larger ships. For anyone wanting to decentralize their fleet's electronic countermeasure capabilities and make them immeasurably harder to counter, few things will serve better than a squadron or two of these little vessels.

Summary
The Hyena is the Minmatar Electronic Attack Frigate, and a T2 variant on the Vigil. It retains the Vigil's target painting bonuses, even slightly upgrading its effectiveness bonus. Most significantly it gets a large bonus to the range of stasis webs.
Skills

Tactics
The Hyena is short on mid slots, meaning it usually needs to choose between being a target painting platform and webbing platform or it will be sub-par at both.
As a target painting platform, the Hyena has a minor advantage over the Vigil due to its slightly higher painter effectiveness bonus, but the difference is small, and the Hyena is considerably more expensive.
The usual use for the Hyena is for webs, often "screening" for a gang by keeping enemies away. With reasonable character skills, T2 webs on a Hyena overheat to 33 km. Two webs can pin a target to more or less its base hull speed even with the target's MWD running, leaving the target with a MWD-bloomed signature and slow speed; this can make it very easy for allies to apply DPS. As with its bigger siblings the Huginn and Rapier, in the Hyena it's important for pilots to remember that webs on their own do not stop a target warping away—indeed, by causing faster align times, they speed up the target's escape. Coordination with tackling ships able to apply points is necessary.
