Frigates
Assault Ships
Vengeance
This Khanid Assault Ship is the 'tanky' assault frigate of the Amarr lineup and makes an excellent heavy tackler. It is low on effective DPS, but buffer tanked or dual active tanked it can sustain a lot of punishment.
For fits and further discussion see the E-Uni Forum Thread or the Failheap Challenge Thread.
Amarr Frigate Skill Bonus:
5% bonus to Rocket Damage per level
Assault Ships Skill Bonus:
5% bonus to Armor Resistances per level
Retribution
This damage dealing Assault Ship is a DPS monster within the frigate class but it is unfortunately crippled for PvP use because of only having 1 mid-slot. It is a popular PvE frigate.
For fits and further discussion see the E-Uni Forum Thread.
Amarr Frigate Skill Bonus:
10% bonus to Small Energy Turret Cap Use per level
Assault Ships Skill Bonus:
10% bonus to Small Energy Turret Optimal Range per level
Interceptors
Malediction
The Amarr fleet interceptor has an interesting set of bonuses being the only fleet interceptor with a bonus to tank. This 'free EANM' means a small armour rep can give it a decent active armour tank and opens up options to use it as a brawling inty. The slot layout also works well for typical inty setups with a MSE or un-tanked, making the malediction very versatile depending on the whim of the pilot.

Amarr Frigate Skill Bonus:
5% bonus to rocket damage per level
5% bonus to armor resistances per level
Interceptor Skill Bonus:
15% reduction in MicroWarpdrive signature radius penalty per level
5% bonus to Warp Scrambler and Warp Disruptor range per level
Crusader
The Amarr combat interceptor makes an excellent kiting DD ship taking advantage of the strengths of Scorch T2 ammo and lasers large optimal; however, the Imperial Navy Slicer overshadows it in exactly the same role. Brawler fits exist but are less popular.

Electronic Attack Ships
Sentinel
The Sentinel is sometimes known as the 'mini-Curse'. It shares the range as well as the amount bonuses to cap warfare with its Combat Recon big brother, meaning that as far as small neuts go the Sentinel is unmatched in the frigate class. The other bonuses are 5% per level to TDs (the other factor in common with its Amarr Recon counterparts), and the EAS bonus to capacitor (which is particularly sweet on this hull).
The Sentinel is missing any sort of drone bonus and this means that, since the highs are usually dedicated to cap warfare mods, the damage output is low at best. Again in Amarr drone boat fashion the drone bay is huge (60 m3 - the largest on a frigate in game), but this is balanced by only a 20 Mbit/sec bandwidth. The total then is 3 flights of 4 light drones (most fits are 2 flights of damage and 1 of ECM).
When you add ~20km small neuts, the damage mitigation of bonused TDs, and the ability to bring EWAR drones without sacrificing flexibilty you get an extremely versitile package. This leads to a reputation as a solopwnmobile, which is only mitigated by the poor reputation of the underflown EAS class as a whole. When exceptions are made to statements about EAS, usually the Sentinel is mentioned.
This is a ship that really needs its applicable command skill to V to be functional, and which benefits more than normal from the addition of a few meta 7+ modules.

Covert Ops
Anathema
This Khanid Covert Ops is completely capable in its role. It is easy to fit allowing to a bit of flexibility when fitting a cyno, for example, and it has an excellent capacitor but has one of the slowest base speeds in its class.
For fits and discussion see the E-Uni Forum Thread.

| Information | This interdictor may become the new FotM due to the recent rocket changes. It has the ability to put out a lot of DPS but is generally a glass cannon even within a class known for that. | |
Cruisers

Curse
| Bonuses | Amarr Cruiser Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Tracking Disruptor effectiveness per level | |
| High Slots | 5 | |
| » Turrets | 2 | |
| » Launchers | 4 | |
| Medium Slots | 6 | |
| Low Slots | 4 | |
| Drone Capacity | 150 m3 | |
| Drone Bandwidth | 50 Mbit/sec | |
| Cargohold | 345 m3 | |
| Information | This Combat Recon is the undisputed king of cap warfare. Its range bonuses allow its hefty neuting capacity to reach out to an obscene range. This synergizes well with the standard Amarr TD bonus allowing excellent mitigation of any turret boat DPS, and the standard drone bonus gives cap free, high slot free, selectable and flexible DPS/utility.
Expect to be called primary in this ship when flying in gangs; this ship is universally recognized as a huge force multiplier. No one wants to fight a Curse solo as the various advantages allows control of the fight to stay within grasp of a decent Curse pilot, and no one likes feeling useless and impotent for the duration of a fight. The most common flavour is a shield tanked curse due to the six mid slots and the desire to be able to have the flexibilty of speed and the ability to range. Armour Curses are ridiculed by some but as gang support, backed up with Guardian logistics, they are incredible additions to the capabilities of the fleet. Curses are a great counter to logistics chains, both for RRBS and logistics ships themselves, and the added pressure of their neuts can mitigate or neutralize any practical cap transfer setup. This is a ship that really needs its applicable command skill to V to be fully functional. For information and details on fits see the E-Uni Forum Post and the Scrapheap Challenge thread. For more information on Cap Warfare and other ships of the same type you can refer to the Capacitor Warfare Guide in this wiki. | |
Pilgrim
| Bonuses | Amarr Cruiser Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Tracking Disruptor effectiveness per level | |
| High Slots | 4 | |
| » Turrets | 3 | |
| » Launchers | 0 | |
| Medium Slots | 5 | |
| Low Slots | 5 | |
| Drone Capacity | 150 m3 | |
| Drone Bandwidth | 50 Mbit/sec | |
| Cargohold | 315 m3 | |
| Information | This Force Recon, the Pilgrim, is the 'U-Boat' of EVE. Able to select, stalk, and engage its targets at will without them knowing until too late, it is the ultimate solo recon if you seek a slow and deliberate way of delivering death. Once a target is engaged this ship is commited to the fight and generally someone is going to die.
The Pilgrim and Curse share the neut amount bonus together with the TD and Drone bonus, but the neut range bonus is dropped in favour of the Force recon covert ops cloak bonus. This leaves the ship designed to get in close, demolish the cap of its opponent, and then go to work with its drones while the TD mitigates damage from turret ships. There are variations of Pilgrim fits out there but much less variation than with the Sentinel or Curse. Generally the fitting will follow roles like the Covert Cyno / Scout role, Solo PvP, Probing Pilgrim etc. There is no point nano/shield fitting a Pilgrim as your target selection and cloak are the surviability rather than speed and ability to control range. In a solo role you don't decloak until you are in web and scram range anyways, scout and skirmish Pilgrims apply the same principle, and there is very little to no reason to use a Pilgrim over a Curse in normal gang support. For tips and fitting options read through the E-Uni Forum Post and the Scrapheap Challenge thread. For more information specifically on Cap Warfare and other ships that fulfill this role see the Capacitor Warfare Guide also in the Uni-wiki. | |
