Ships & Modules

A thread where i can teach a nooby how to fly my fave. ship in the game ? noway.
Don't take this the wrong way but the fits ive seen so far are ******* terrible. The Huginn is not a solo ship , it sure as hell is not a DPS ship in anyway. If your gonna fly a huginn your flying a support role. I.E You stay the **** away from your targets and web them down for your gang to kill. Having a Point and Damage mods on your ship is useless. If your gonna use ANY recon for solo it should be the curse/pilgrim.


Any-who , this is my exact fit for my huginn that i fly all the time in gangs. (I have over 1k kills in a huginn and take Pride in being the bane of enemy gangs, So yes i have a clue what i'm talking about.)

Yes i Know i don't have DCU.
Yes i Know i don't have a Disruptor.
Yes i Know that my DPS is utter ****.

If you are going to fly huginns in gangs this is what your fit "Should" look like. I say should as you wont find this fit on battleclinic or use'd by the big scrubsec alliances etc. because i made this fit from scratch for how i fly/what i do with it.
i wont go into to much detail on how i fly this because the post would be way to big. so ill TLDR it for you.
Basicly stay at range 60-70km's Web primary's, Web Tackle ships , Web whatever enemy ship is to close to one my friendly ships. Don't bother wasting ammo at your range because you wont hit for anything and your DPS is crap. Drop ECM drones if you need to jam tackle off someone Or you (if you ****** up) , Only time you should shoot is when tackle is ontop of you and you need to kill it off quickly.
Situational awarness is Key to be a good Huginn pilot Along with good Cap management. The huginn has pretty **** cap so if your bad at cap management or have ****** cap skills train those up.
Also call your webs constantly , if your in a corp/alliance that doesn't have 1 FC that emo rages constantly when you press your push-to-talk.

Ok seriously. You want to take out a 250M ish fit just to gank frigs? I will guarantee that you will lose your huginn before you can kill enough ships to justify the loss. Huginn is a fleet ship and should be used as such.

So I got through like 4 posts of Bad fits, then stopped reading.

Huginns are gang ships, DPS is negligible and not important, as somebody who flies Recons (the Huginn particularly http://kb.cva-eve.org/?a=pilot_detail&plt_ext_id=91150696&view=ships_weapons) extensively a few tips;


Fed Webs are really worth it, they allow you to operate at much farther range, making you safer and more effective.

Keep range at all times being in something like a Huginn on 0 is a bad plan and will get you killed.

ACs are pretty nice on the Huginn, that + webs makes you really hard to tackle.

You are very fast, use that speed to avoid damage.

Your cap is terrible, CPR/PDS and good management both help with this.

Recon V IS GODLIKE

Heres the fit I generally use for small gang, having only ever lost one.

Good solid all round fit, you can fit HMLs but 220s smack tackle down far better.

Fly it with care, its an oft primed ship, OL you MWD lots to keep range, I have an overview with Dictors/Frigs/Dessies and switch to that occasionally to make sure I dont get tackled, the Webs will save you as they can allow you to outrun or kill tackle.

Have fun, it and its Cov-Ops brother are great fun to fly, if you enjoy it I can also recommend the Lachesis he Curse also seems fun, but I havent really had time to play with that one as much.

Armageddas fit isnt bad either, but the lack of a Suitcase is kind of a big thing for me.

The recommandations given are correct but a bit "boring". Huggins/Rapiers fitted with one faction web are safe to fly but not much useful for gatecamps - you cant even prevent a ship from getting back to gate with a single web.
If you want to have some fun try this:
Dualbox a Huggin/Rapier and e.g. a Gila (or another range-dps with a lot of midslots) - or team up with a friend. Fit the Huggin/Rapier with a long point, 3 Webs, a lot of armor buffer (1600 plate) AND a x-large asb. Fit at least 2 RemoteSensorBooster's to the Gila and activate them on the Huggin/Rapier, assign sentry drones. Wait for cruiser/bc at gates incoming - kill it.

I would like to see a gang of Rapiers led by a Widow.

On the OP's original question:

The Huginn and Rapier stopped being awesome when they changed webs, now you need to stack multiple webs to get any decent amount of result from them meaning you waste more slots (per target). As a solo hunter it's pretty much limited in what it can do, it can't deal with multiple targets too well and it can't deal with pvp fit cruiser+ due to their t2 range ammo (blaster boats are an exception).

In short, all you can really solo are solo frigs you were able to catch at range, low SP folks or idiots with crap fits and small/medium blaster boats. The webbing gimmick is much better in a support role but then I'd prefer the Rapier or Loki.

Back in the day a guy created some videos in a series entiteled 'Huginn the edge' - have a look for them. Since the web nerf though huginn's are mainly fleet support. A loki is a better ship for what you have in mind... if price isn't an issue. I'll give you a basic setup that may be a little old but is still useful.

Once again though i'd still rather have an arty-loki if price wasn't a factor, but this is a relatively cheap ship to buy and fit for what it does. I'd also recommend Rapid light launchers for squashing frigs, combine with dual web and the tracking on 180's it should provide a lot of easy kills. Admittedly i haven't flown my huginn more than once or twice since the web nerf....

Not in shield fleets mate.

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=14467314 (For Example)

Every Huginn fit I've ever seen uses autocannons as its primary weapon system (i.e. the one that receives damage mods and that the fit is built around). But the ship is split right down the middle between projectiles and missiles. Am I wrong in wanting to try making HAMs the primary weapon system and autocannons the support?

I've no experience in this yet, but some pyfa theorizing has lead to some very respectable results (without pimping everything, either).

Uh.....you do relize that a huginn can out range a loki with webs ? I would Never use a shield web loki for gangs...my huginn gets primaried enough , cant imagine the fat ******* target id have painted on my face if i was in a loki doing standard nano gangs.
But hey come fly your shield web loki against my huginn. Ill laugh as you squirm 85kms from me.

And i dont know what it is with you guys trying to make the huginn a solo boat. If your gonna solo in a recon fly a ******* curse or pilgrim.

Or if you want a solo ship that uses a long web range.
