Name: Rapier Hull: Bellicose Role: Force Recon Ship Force recon ships are the cruiser-class equivalent of covert ops frigates. While not as resilient as combat recon ships, they are nonetheless able to do their job as reconaissance vessels very effectively, due in no small part to their ability to interface with covert ops cloaking devices and set up cynosural fields for incoming capital ships. Developer: Core Complexion Inc. Core Complexion's ships are unusual in that they favor electronics and defense over the "lots of guns" approach traditionally favored by the Minmatar.

Summary

Alongside its non cloaking brother, the Huginn, the Rapier is a common feature in almost all shield tanked gangs, prized for its ability to web targets at a greater range than any other ship in the game (40k T2, up to 60k faction). A Loki can also be setup to fill a similar role, but at a much greater cost. Unlike the Huginn, the Rapier can also be fitted with an armor tank due to its four low slots.

SKILLS

NOTES

RECOMMENDED SKILLS

• Recon V
• Cynosaural Field Theory V

NOTES

• Upgrading to faction webs will significantly increase the range you can web targets. If you're going for initial tackle as well, however, the limited range of the point makes expensive webs unnecessary.
