+## Summary
+
+</div>
+The Rapier is the Minmatar Force Recon Ship. It can fit a covert ops cloak, and warp while cloaked. It can use both covert ops cynos and normal ("hard") cynos. It shares a web range bonus and a (little-used) target-painting bonus with the Huginn.
+
+The Rapier can perform well as a "hunter" for a black ops fleet, able to strike from hiding, pin a target down, and pop a covert cyno to bring in stealth bombers and black ops battleships. Less glamorously, it also sees use as a hard cyno ship to help move other ships around New Eden. Since the Rapier can light hard cynos, its presence implicitly threatens an escalation in a fight, potentially drawing out escalations from opponents; this fact and its relatively weaker tank compared to the Huginn tend to make the Huginn preferred for direct PvP gang combat.
+<div style="display: flow-root;">
+
+## Skills
+
+</div>
+As a mid-sized Tech 2 ship, the Rapier deserves strong fitting skills and support skills. Recon Ships should be trained to IV before a pilot undocks a Rapier, and training the skill to V makes a big difference to the web range and the CPU available for fitting.
+<div style="display: flow-root;">
+
+## Tactics
+
+</div>
+The Rapier's bonus to web range does not increase the range of warp disruptors or warp scramblers, and webbing a target without pointing it can actively speed up the target's escape by reducing its align time. For a hunting Rapier, therefore, the limiting factor on attack range can sometimes be point range rather than web range, and for this role it might sometimes be worth investing in a faction or abyssal warp disruptor rather than (or before) special webs.
