Laser turrets are the weapons used primarily by the Amarr. They use frequency crystals as ammunition and deal EM and thermal damage. A special note to consider when fitting any ship is the ammunition usage. Lasers use crystals, which work differently than any other ammunition type. You can read more about it [[Turrets#Laser_Crystals|here]]. | Laser turrets are the weapons used primarily by the Amarr. They use frequency crystals as ammunition and deal EM and thermal damage.

Unlike turret-based weapon systems missile launchers have low power-grid needs but high CPU requirements. Many ships don't have enough turret hardpoints to fill a full rack of their preferred turret weapon, but will instead have launcher hardpoints. Like projectile turrets, missile launchers do not use capacitor to activate which makes them very versatile. However, launcher hardpoints are uncommon except on dedicated missile ships (certain Minmatar, Caldari, and a few T2 Amarr). Also note that range and damage output for missiles is not as straightforward to calculate as it is for turrets; check [[Missile Launchers]] for more information. | ||

Shield extenders are great for increasing a passive tank (remember that total shield and time to recharge are independent, so as you increase total shields you increase shield regeneration rate) but can work against you if they increase your signature radius too much.
