Harpy
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES
|
Already possessing a reputation despite its limited initial circulation, the Harpy is a powerful railgun platform with long range capability and strong defensive systems. Formidable both one-on-one and as a support ship, it was referred to as the "little Moa" by the pilots who participated in its safety and performance testing. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Harpy's dual bonus to optimal range of hybrids multiply together to give a whopping 125% increase in optimal range, which combined with the innate long range of railguns allows the Harpy to shoot out to 100k with T2 rails and ammunition, which is a ludicrous range for a frigate. On the down side when rail fit it doesn't do a lot of damage even against frigates, so any enemy it fires upon will likely be able to warp away before being destroyed.
The Harpy can also be blaster fit for short range high DPS, and by doing so it can apply damage at a longer range than other blaster assault frigates (see Ishkur or Enyo). Although the Harpy cannot put out as much DPS as the Enyo just by looking at the numbers, it can much more easily apply its full damage to opponents thanks to its 4 mid slots, making the prop/scram/web combo (for range dictation) possible with an additional shield tanking mod.
