 Long struggling with a reputation for being the ugly duckling of the Caldari ship repertoire, the Hookbill recently got a new lease on life, being upgraded from a routine patrol vessel into a fleet-standard frigate. With the advancements brought on by the upgrade, the time is nigh for this little slugger to prove itself on battlefields throughout Caldari space and beyond. Long struggling with a reputation for being the ugly duckling of the Caldari ship repertoire, the Hookbill recently got a new lease on life, being upgraded from a routine patrol vessel into a fleet-standard frigate.

 +====Helpful Information====
 The ship that the Hookbill is most comparable to is the hawk (or, as funny as it might sound, the buzzard). Like the hawk the Hookbill is a missile ship, with a bonus to missile range. It has a 3/5/2 slot layout with 3 launchers (and a 20% per level bonus to each, meaning that like the hawk the Hookbill receives a higher '​effective number'​ of weapons than the other ships in its class). What makes the Hookbill really shine however is those 5 mid slots. Remember during my discussion of covert ops ships, I mentioned that the incredible range control afforded by 5 mid slots make the helios and buzzard viable combat ships? The Hookbill is the only dedicated combat ship which has that many mid slots; while one is usually taken up by a shield extender, this still allows the Hookbill to field an ab/​scram/​double web combo, giving it one of the best range-dictation capabilities in the game. This is especially useful considering that the Hookbill generally fits rockets (fitting standards alongside a tank is pretty much impossible due to powergrid), and rockets benefit greatly from having a stationary target. The ship that the Hookbill is most comparable to is the hawk (or, as funny as it might sound, the buzzard).
