The Zealot is built almost exclusively as a laser platform, designed to wreak as much havoc as its energy beams can be made to. As a vanguard vessel, its thick armor and dazzling destructive power make it capable of cutting through enemy fleets with striking ease. Zealots are currently being mass-produced by Viziam for the Amarr Navy.

Developer: Viziam

For their first production-ready starship design, Viziam opted to focus on their core proficiencies - heavy armor and highly optimized weaponry. The result is an extremely focused design that, when used correctly, can go toe-to-toe with any contemporary cruiser design.

Summary

The Zealot is known as a good all round HAC. Its optimal range bonus is easy to convert to a damage bonus due to the good optimal of lasers and instant crystal switching. The optimal bonus is usually put to use with pulse lasers loaded with T2 Scorch ammunition to have good damage at a very respectable optimal range, but also makes it suitable for fitting as a sniper. With 7 low slots it is designed to be armor tanked, and can still fit several damage modules there as well.

The Zealot is the most commonly used ship in the doctrine known as "Armor HACs", a fleet of low signature, afterburning, armor tanked ships with medium range guns.

NOTES
  • With T2 medium laser crystals and Zealot's inherent optimal range bonus, this fit can put up 693 DPS with Conflagration M at the range of 15+8.2km, or 495 DPS with Scorch M at the range of 44+8.2km. This makes it very desirable in Vanguard and Assault Incursion armor fleets, as its offensive capability as a cruiser sized ship in Incursions is only second to that of a Legion.
  • This fit has a very tight CPU and PowerGrid, while both problem can be solved through the use of fitting implants and faction modules.

NOTES
  • Shield version of an Incursion Zealot fit. Impressive DPS with Conflagration M and decent range with Scorch M for a cruiser sized boat.
  • Although the lack of shield EM and Thermal resists is remedied by the ship's small signature radius, the pilot should be aware of the fact that a shield Zealot takes more incoming damage from Sansha turret boats than its armor counterpart.

NOTES
  • This is a standard Armor HAC Zealot. The tracking disruptor can be changed to any Ewar type.

    The dead space plating is very cheap dispite the fact that it looks shiny. If you do want to go shiny the Adaptive Nano Plating II can be deadspaced as well but it's a bit more expensive.

    All 3 C-types (Centii/Coreli/Corpii) give the same bonus so go with the cheaper one.

The zealot has no drones, nor space for an energy neutraliser, so it is very vulnerable to any fast frigates if they get within tackle range.
