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 a Caldari command ship bonused for missiles. It is more suited to damage dealing than the Vulture, certainly at short range, but its 5/5 slot layout makes it slightly less tanky than the Vulture's 6/4 layout, so the Vulture is generally preferred for fleet boosting.
