The Omen is a stereotypical example of the Amarrian School of thinking when it comes to ship design: thick armor and hard hitting lasers. Advancements in heat dissipation allow the Omen to fire its lasers faster than other ships without this technology. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Omen is the Amarr laser boat or "Attack Cruiser" and has bonuses towards rate of fire. With 6 lows and 3 mids, the Omen is meant to be armor tanked. Since the Retribution update, the Omen received a much needed increase to its powergrid, allowing for the Omen to fit, with good fitting skills, either a 1600mm plate and medium pulse lasers, or an 800mm plate and a full rack of heavy pulse lasers for higher DPS. With a decent tank, an above average drone bandwidth and the ability to swap crystals on the fly, the Omen has the ability to field respectable damage at any range.

The Omen is well knowned for its ability to use 1600mm plates and have high armour resists; however, the Omen is slow and non-agile. A well tanked Omen should be flown by a pilot with good drone skills, since it has a 40m3 drone bay, and navigation skills. The Omen's damage per second (DPS) isn't the highest amoungst the Cruiser class of ships but it will not be unaccounted for. If this ship is well tanked and with a proper propulsion module fitted. It can be a dangerous kiting ship against frigates and great in fleets as well.
There is another fit that is associated with the Omen as well. "All gank and no Tank." To obtain a high DPS the lows should be fitted with full heat sinks and tracking enhancers. However, if you do this you have lost the ability for an effective buffer tank. This particular type of Omen is rare but in the right applications it can wield up to 500 DPS on field. If you are part of a fleet of cruisers feel comfortable in knowing that you are more likely less to be primaried since it is known for its large tank.
