== 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''' (or "Arby") is the Tech 1 Amarr [[electronic warfare]] cruiser, with a bonus to [[Electronic warfare#Weapon Disruption|weapon disruption]]. As it also has a bonus to drone damage and durability, the Arbitrator can contribute some DPS to a [[PvP]] group, or even function on its own as an unusual solo PvP ship. Although the selectable damage of drones gives it some greater [[PvE]] flexibility than the [[Omen]] and [[Maller]], the Arbitrator is not typically used for PvE combat.
  
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 or tackle. 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 Drone Link Augmentors and/or [[nosferatu]] or [[neutraliser]] arrays.
+
As weapon disruption is ineffective against drones or other EWAR ships, doesn't affect [[logistics]] ships, and works only on either turrets or missiles depending on the module used, it lacks some of the power of ECM and sensor dampening. However, one or two bonused weapon disruptors can still remove a ship's ability to apply its damage.
  
==Skills==
+
Moreover, while the Arbitrator cannot deal the full DPS of a dedicated damage-dealing cruiser, it has significant flexibility thanks to its very large drone bay, the largest drone bay of any Tech 1 cruiser (though the [[Vexor]] has more drone bandwidth). The Arbitrator can field a full flight of medium drones for reasonable DPS or a flight of light drones as a serious threat to small targets, and it can have several flights in reserve to cover other damage types and to replace losses.
  
The recommended certificates for this ship are<br>
+
== Skills ==
*Core Competency Basic.<br>
 
*Combat Drone Control Standard.<br>
 
*Armour Tanking Basic. <br>
 
*Tracking Disruptor Operator Basic.<br>
 
  
 +
The Arbitrator is slightly more SP-intensive than some other Tech 1 cruisers, as it really deserves {{sk|Drones}} level V to take advantage of its ample drone bay. General [[support skills]] and [[fitting skills]] help. In particular, [[Support skills#Drones|drone support skills]] boost the ship's DPS potential, and pilots planning to fit energy neutralizers or nosferatus will also want to prioritize [[Support skills#Capacitor|capacitor support skills]]. In the longer term, Tech 2 drones further improve the Arbitrator's power.
  
 +
== Tactics ==
  
The following skills are suggested.
+
'''EWAR'''
  
 +
Tracking disruptors cut the enemy's optimal range and fall off by the same percent. They also reduce enemy tracking. Both can be scripted to increase the effect and to reduce the stacking penalties when using more than one. Tracking disruptors are ineffective against missile and drone damage.
  
Fitting and Capacitor:<br>
+
Missile disruptors make enemy missile launchers less effective by cutting missile range and precision. You can load scripts into them, giving them twice the effectiveness against either range or precision while losing the other effect entirely. Disrupting precision will make it difficult for a missile ship to hit small targets such as frigates. Missile disruptors are ineffective against turret and drone damage.
*'''[[Skills:Engineering#Engineering|Engineering V]]'''. Increases powergrid by 5%/level<br>
 
*'''[[Skills:Electronics#Electronics|Electronics V]]'''. Increases CPU by 5%/level<br>
 
*'''[[Skills:Navigation#Warp Drive Operation|Warp Drive Operation III]]'''.<br>
 
*'''[[Skills:Electronics#Energy System Operation|Energy System Operation V]]'''. Cap recharge 5% / level If you are using energy neutralizers this is important, as they devour your cap.<br>
 
*'''[[Skills:Engineering#Energy Emission Systems|Energy Emission Systems IV]]'''. Reduces Energy neutralizers cap need,
 
  
 +
Both types of weapon disruption are subject to [[stacking penalties]]. In a fleet situation, weapon disruptors should be applied to enemy damage-dealing ships which are ''not'' the primary target (as that will, with luck, be dying shortly anyway).
  
 +
'''PvP'''
  
Drones:<br>
+
The Arbitrator has a balanced slot layout of mid slots and low slots and can be fitted in a variety of ways. For electronic warfare use, it is often armor-tanked to allow the mids to be used for tracking disruptors and/or guidance disruptors.
*'''[[Skills:Drones#Drones|Drones V]]'''. Five drones are better then only one, right?<br>
 
*'''[[Skills:Drones#Combat Drone Operation|Combat Drone Operation V]]''' and '''[[Skills:Drones#Drone Interfacing|Drone Interfacing IV]]''' For more damage.<br>
 
*'''[[Skills:Spaceship Command#Amarr Cruiser|Amarr Cruiser IV]]''' For even more damage (And it makes your [[EWar_101_Guide#Tracking_Disruption_.28TD.29|Tracking Disruptors]] even more awesome)
 
*'''[[Skills:Drones#Scout Drone Operation|Scout drone Operation V]]'''. Extends your drone control range to 45000m (5000m/level + 20000 base)<br>
 
*'''[[Skills:Drones#Gallente Drone Operation|Gallente Drone Operation I]]'''/'''[[Skills:Drones#Minmatar Drone Operation|Minmatar Drone Operation I]]''' Lets you fly your favorite T2 drones of choise. Which is Minmatar or Gallante ;)
 
  
==Fitting==
+
For the high slots, the Arbitrator has no bonuses to any hull-mounted weapon type, and so can use any weapons. Projectile turrets and missile launchers have the advantage of not draining the [[capacitor]]. The ship can also forego weapons entirely in favor of energy neutralizers and/or nosferatus for [[capacitor warfare]]. As the Arbitrator has no bonuses to energy neutralizers, a capacitor booster can really help a neutralizer fit, and the neutralizers will only have their normal, short range.

notes=Use AB to set up tranversal against snipers or battleships. A mix of range and tracking scripts will be up to the pilot to decide how to use. For example, battleships that are tracking disrupted, won't be able to easily hit the ECM drones, and can be taken out of the battle, if it goes on long enough. Thus perhaps saving a fleet member from being dpsed down by the BS. Snipers that warp into your optimals or lock range, you can get rid of their optimal range, so they either miss, do less damage, and are thus forced to bounce out to further ranges. Tank is 49.5k with perfect skills, 46.2 with compensation at 2. 4 of these and you basically have a battleship that travels faster and is more flexible, with 131 dps from Valkyrie IIs per arbitrator. A 524 (minimum) dps battleship that only costs around 100 million! Quad box away.}}

''Every Cruiser, Battlecruiser and Battleship now warps faster than before.''
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.

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.

Summary

The Arbitrator (or "Arby") is the Tech 1 Amarr electronic warfare cruiser, with a bonus to weapon disruption. As it also has a bonus to drone damage and durability, the Arbitrator can contribute some DPS to a PvP group, or even function on its own as an unusual solo PvP ship. Although the selectable damage of drones gives it some greater PvE flexibility than the Omen and Maller, the Arbitrator is not typically used for PvE combat.

As weapon disruption is ineffective against drones or other EWAR ships, doesn't affect logistics ships, and works only on either turrets or missiles depending on the module used, it lacks some of the power of ECM and sensor dampening. However, one or two bonused weapon disruptors can still remove a ship's ability to apply its damage.

Moreover, while the Arbitrator cannot deal the full DPS of a dedicated damage-dealing cruiser, it has significant flexibility thanks to its very large drone bay, the largest drone bay of any Tech 1 cruiser (though the Vexor has more drone bandwidth). The Arbitrator can field a full flight of medium drones for reasonable DPS or a flight of light drones as a serious threat to small targets, and it can have several flights in reserve to cover other damage types and to replace losses.

Skills

The Arbitrator is slightly more SP-intensive than some other Tech 1 cruisers, as it really deserves Drones level V to take advantage of its ample drone bay. General support skills and fitting skills help. In particular, drone support skills boost the ship's DPS potential, and pilots planning to fit energy neutralizers or nosferatus will also want to prioritize capacitor support skills. In the longer term, Tech 2 drones further improve the Arbitrator's power.

Tactics

EWAR

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

Missile disruptors make enemy missile launchers less effective by cutting missile range and precision. You can load scripts into them, giving them twice the effectiveness against either range or precision while losing the other effect entirely. Disrupting precision will make it difficult for a missile ship to hit small targets such as frigates. Missile disruptors are ineffective against turret and drone damage.

Both types of weapon disruption are subject to stacking penalties. In a fleet situation, weapon disruptors should be applied to enemy damage-dealing ships which are not the primary target (as that will, with luck, be dying shortly anyway).

PvP

The Arbitrator has a balanced slot layout of mid slots and low slots and can be fitted in a variety of ways. For electronic warfare use, it is often armor-tanked to allow the mids to be used for tracking disruptors and/or guidance disruptors.

For the high slots, the Arbitrator has no bonuses to any hull-mounted weapon type, and so can use any weapons. Projectile turrets and missile launchers have the advantage of not draining the capacitor. The ship can also forego weapons entirely in favor of energy neutralizers and/or nosferatus for capacitor warfare. As the Arbitrator has no bonuses to energy neutralizers, a capacitor booster can really help a neutralizer fit, and the neutralizers will only have their normal, short range.
