Development
The Arbitrator is unusual for Amarr ships in that it's primarily a drone carrier. While it is not the best carrier around, it has superior armor that gives it greater durability than most ships in its class.

SHIP BONUSES

Amarr Cruiser bonuses (per skill level):
7.5% bonus to Tracking Disruptor effectiveness
10% bonus to Drone hitpoints, damage and mining yield

Summary

The Arbitrator is a ship of a dual role: it can deal damage as a drone boat and it is an EWAR platform. It has the largest drone bay of any T1 cruiser, beating even the Gallente Vexor, though it has less drone bandwidth than the Vexor. It can still field a full flight of medium drones at a time however, and has the bay to carry 3 flights of medium drones or 6 flights of light drones (or a mix), giving it unparalleled flexibility in its class. As well as its drones the Arbitrator also has bonuses to the Amarr racial EWAR, tracking disruption.

The Arbitrator has a balanced slot layout of mids and lows, but is normally armor tanked to allow the mids to be used for tracking disruptors. The Arbitrator has no bonuses to any weapon type, so can use any turret it likes, but given the split turret and launcher slots and lack of bonuses many pilots forego weapons entirely in favor of nosferatu or neutraliser arrays. One Drone Link Augmentor can be added, but it usefulness is limited given the relatively short targeting range and lack of drone speed bonus of the Arbitrator.

As Tracking Disruption is ineffective against missiles, drones, EWAR, and of no use opposing logistics it is often considered one of the weaker types of EWAR. However one or two bonused tracking disruptors can remove a ship's ability to apply its damage. Due to the situational use of this ship, newer pilots may be better with one of the other Amarr cruisers (Omen or Maller).

  • Use your afterburner and your neuts to dictate range inside of scram and use your TD with an optimal script to ensure those nasty kiters don't plink away at your from range. Prime targets for this ship are blaster and laser boats that rely on cap for their dps. It can still work against projectile foes if you use your TD correctly. Avoid missile and drone ships as your neuts and TD have no effect on them.

Tactics

Tracking disruptors damage the enemy's optimal range and fall off by the same percent. They also damage the enemy's tracking. Both can be scripted to increase the effect and to reduce the stacking penalties when using more than one.

Most of how to use it will be acquired in game with experience. As an example, 2 scripted range TDs used against an artillery thrasher with one tracking disruption, can reduce the range of titanium ammo from 30km to under 7km, with very poor chances of hitting a fast traversing frigate. It's sort of an "I win" button against certain ships. Many solo pilots also use it to reduce the incoming damage of larger, additional enemy ships so they can win against fearsome odds. The bonused version is significantly stronger than the unbonused one, but still very skill strength dependent.


It is worth reading about Drones as they are your primary source of damage. Knowing your drones helps a lot.


As this ship has no bonuses to energy neutralizers, using them against a larger ship, such as a BC or a BS, is most likely only going to drain your own cap.

Notes

This vessel qualifies for the University Ship Replacement, PYOS, BYOM, and Mining Loaner Fleet programs.
