Command ships are engineered specifically to wreak havoc on a battlefield of many. Sporting advanced command module interfaces, these vessels are more than capable of turning the tide in large engagements. Command ships represent the ultimate in warfare link efficiency; the boosts they give their comrades in combat make them indispensable assets to any well-rounded fleet.

Developer: Kaalakiota

As befits one of the largest weapons manufacturers in the known world, Kaalakiota's ships are very combat focused. Favoring the traditional Caldari combat strategy, they are designed around a substantial number of weapons systems, especially missile launchers. However, they have rather weak armor and structure, relying more on shields for protection.

Summary

The Nighthawk is the Caldari attack command ship, bonused for missiles. As one of only two ships in the game to feature a 10% per level launcher rate-of-fire bonus, it is more suited to damage-dealing than the Vulture, especially at short range. Since it shares the Vulture's shield resistance bonus and 6/4 mid/low layout, it is quite durable. However, the Nighthawk's short-range command bursts and lack of a raw hitpoint bonus make the Vulture the preferred command ship for larger fleet operations.

Notes

"Nighthawk" is the name used in English for a number of species of mid-sized nocturnal insect-eating birds, also often called "nightjars". Unlike the ship, they are relatively un-intimidating.
