The Amarr lineup is characterized by the following:
+
== General Traits ==
 +
The following traits are shared by most or all Amarr ships:
  
−
* [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Smurfprime%27s_Guide_to_Basic_Tanking#Armor_tanking Armour tanking]. This is the most popular tanking method for PvP and is also common for Gallentean ships and some Minmatari ships (making it the standard for [[Spider Tanking|Remote Repairing]]). Amarrian ships have high base armour and several ships have direct bonuses to armour resistances ([[Tech 1]] examples: Punisher, Maller, Prophecy, and Abaddon).  
+
* '''[[Armour tanking]]'''.  Amarrian ships have high base armour, and several ships have direct bonuses to armour resistances: for example, the Punisher, Maller, Prophecy, and Abaddon. Armor tanks use up low slots, can slow ships down, and are hungry for powergrid, but they leave mid slots free, require relatively less CPU, and (in active tanks) place comparatively lower burdens on the capacitor than shield tanks
 +
* '''[[Turrets#Energy turrets|Energy turrets]]'''. These are the standard for the majority of Amarrian damage-dealing vessels.  Energy turrets (more usually "lasers") offer a reliable combination of range and damage when compared with projectile or hybrid turrets. Their ammo, energy crystals, can be swapped out instantly. Tech 1 crystals last forever, and faction and Tech 2 crystals wear out only slowly. On the other hand, energy turrets use a great deal of capacitor to fire, tend to have comparatively poor tracking speeds for their size, and can only ever deal thermal and EM damage, which can make it impossible to hit some enemies' weaker damage resistances.
 +
** The short-ranged energy weapons, pulse lasers, have long ranges compared to projectile autocannon and hybrid turrets but lack the raw punch of hybrid blasters or the selectable damage and forgiving falloff of autocannon.
 +
** The long-ranged energy weapons, beam lasers, have reliable DPS, but are shorter-ranged than hybrid railguns or projectile artillery, and lack the selectable damage and alpha strike potential of artillery.
 +
* '''[[Drones]]'''. The Amarr ship line-up comes second only to the Gallente in terms of drone bays, bandwidth, and ships with drone bonuses. Amarr drone ships tend to have slightly larger drone bays than their Gallentean counterparts, which means more tactical flexibility and drone replacement, but also tend to have less drone bandwidth, which means a lower DPS cap. These differences even out at the battleship level, as the Armageddon and the Dominix match in these respects.
 +
* '''Large capacitors.''' Amarr pilots rely heavily on their capacitors; lasers are heavy on the capacitor to such a degree that many Amarrian hulls have a bonus that decreases capacitor usage of energy turrets. Amarr hulls tend to have larger capacitors than the hulls of the other empires and many Amarrian pilots prioritize capacitor skills.
 +
* '''[[Capacitor warfare]]'''. The Dragoon and the Armageddon have bonuses that make them particularly effective with energy neutralizers used to drain targets' capacitors. These synergise well with the naturally strong capacitors found on Amarr ships, and with the use of drones, which require no capacitor. Amarr proficiency with capacitor warfare continues in T2 ships with the Black Ops {{sh|Redeemer}} and the widely-feared {{sh|Curse}} and {{sh|Pilgrim}}.
 +
* '''[[Electronic_warfare#Weapon_Disruption|Weapon Disruption]]''' is the Amarr EWAR specialism. Weapon disruption can cut the ranges and tracking speeds of turrets, or the ranges and precision of missiles. It is situationally powerful, but not as universally powerful as ECM or sensor dampening: different modules must be fitted to disrupt turrets or to disrupt missiles, which reduces tactical flexibility.
 +
* '''Low speeds'''. Amarr ships tend to have low base speeds for their size and class, often fit armour plates which further reduce their speed and agility, and often use low slots for tank or damage rather than speed modules. Given the high low slots, Amarr ships ''can'' sometimes be speed-fitted, but at the cost of tank and damage.
 +
* [[Missiles]]. No ''Tech 1'' Amarr ships focus on missiles, but there is a line of ''Tech 2'' Amarr ships with missile bonuses: the {{sh|Vengeance}}, {{sh|Malediction}}, {{sh|Heretic}}, {{sh|Sacrilege}}, and {{sh|Damnation}}. These are not a concern for Amarr pilots who are just starting out, but dedicated Amarr pilots might find themselves training into them one day.
  
−
* Energy [[turrets]]. These are the standard for Amarrian vessels in the same way that Gallente and Caldari tend to use Hybrid turrets (although Caldari make greater use of missiles) while the Minmatar make extensive use of Projectile turrets (as well as quite a lot of missiles). Energy turrets (more usually 'lasers') offer an excellent combination of range, tracking and damage when compared with projectile or hybrid turrets. As is typical, there are two variants; a longer range version with lower damage potential and poorer [[tracking]] - Beam Laser - and a shorter range version with good tracking and higher damage - Pulse Laser. Frequency crystals, the Energy ammo type, can be changed instantly and [[Tech 1]] crystals are unlimited ammunition as they do not degrade like [[Faction]] or Advanced [[Tech 2]] variants. Unfotunately this all comes at a price; there is no variation on [[damage types]] and Energy turrets are hungry beasts! All lasers will do some mix of Electromagnetic and Thermal damage (primarily EM) and use large amounts of energy when fired as well as tending to be quite demanding on a hull's powergrid.
+
If there is one broad characteristic that runs across Amarr ships, it is '''energy'''. Amarr ships aren't the most versatile, and they don't always have great speed or the highest on-paper DPS, but they have immense reserves of capacitor which they can use to pound opponents with extremely reliable and consistent laser damage—with potentially infinite ammo!—and to drain opponents dry with powerful capacitor warfare.
  
−
* Large Capacitors. Amarrian pilots rely heavily on their capacitors; lasers are heavy on the capacitor to such a degree that some Amarrian hulls have a bonus that decreases capacitor usage of Energy turrets rather than a damage bonus (such hulls are prime candidates for fitting another weapon system if you have cross-trained). Thus Amarrian hulls tend to have larger capacitors than the hulls of the other empires and many Amarrian pilots prioritize capacitor skills.
+
== Notable Uses ==
  
−
* [[Drones]]. Amarrian hulls have some of the best drone using hulls outside of the Gallentean hull line-up, including the only hulls with drone bonuses that are not Gallentean.
+
'''PvE'''
  
−
* Lack of Speed. Amarrian ships tend to have lower than average base speeds, fit armour plates which further reduce their base speed and agility and are usually short of mid slots to put Afterburners or MicroWarp Drives in, while low slots are already packed with tank modules or weapon upgrades. At the cost of tanking potential (or damage, perhaps both), a typical Amarrian hull's numerous low slots can be used to out-compete even Minmatar ships, however.
+
A classic progression of Amarr [[mission]] ships would be to train the Punisher and {{sh|Coercer}} for Level 1 missions, the {{sh|Omen}} or {{sh|Arbitrator}} for L2s, the {{sh|Harbinger}} for L3s, and finally the {{sh|Apocalypse}} for L4s. Amarrian laser ships are more restricted when running missions and [[ratting]] than the other races. Within Amarr space, against the Blood Raiders and Sansha's Nation factions, Amarrian ships are probably the most effective of all (as is typical with the other empires). However, lasers only do thermal and EM damage, so other typical NPC enemy factions are tougher for lasers. This is a concern for some Eve University pilots who want to try mission-running close to home, as the University is based in Gallente space where Serpentis are the common faction.
  
−
* [[EWar 101 Guide|Electronic Warfare]]. The primary form of Amarrian electronic warfare is Tracking Disruption, which reduces the optimal range, falloff and tracking speed of turrets fitted to the target. Scripts can also be used to make the module more effective at either reducing the tracking or reducing the range of the turret, at the cost of not affecting the other. Tracking disruption is fairly difficult to counter but limited in application as it affects only turrets. The secondary form is Capacitor Warfare but bonuses to this are only found on [[Tech 2]] hulls, which are beyond the scope of this guide.
+
One alternative option is to brush up on drone skills and use the line of Amarr ships which use drones rather than lasers as their primary weapon. Since drones are easily swapped and allow fully-selectable damage, this lets pilots target whatever type of damage NPCs are weakest to. A pilot doing this would progress through the {{sh|Dragoon}}, {{sh|Arbitrator}}, {{sh|Prophecy}}, and {{sh|Armageddon}} (though note that until the battleship stage and the Armageddon, the Amarr drone ships have a little less bandwidth than their Gallente counterparts).
  
−
==PvP==
+
In Wormholes, the Harbinger can run C1 and C2 combat sites, although it may have trouble with either range or tracking due to the variety of sleeper hulls that can orbit either close or far. Like the other turret-based BCs, the Harbinger does much better in fleets than solo for wormholes. C3 wormholes can also be done in a Harbinger with a fleet of sufficient size.
  
−
Amarrian ships have been a PvP 'flavour of the month' for a lot longer than a month and can be extremely useful in nearly any role or type of fleet. Exceptional armour tanks, large capacitors and a combination of good damage and range make Amarrian ships a firm favourite for PvP, though fits with shield tanks or alternate weapon systems see extensive use.
+
For salvaging, a {{sh|Coercer}} makes a very good, cheap salvager.
  
−
Amarrian ships tend to stick to the formula of lots of armour for defence and lots of lasers for damage with fewer 'exceptions to the rule' than in other empires' line-ups. As a result Amarrians are sometimes said to be the simplest race to fly, since what worked for you on a frigate will probably work for you on your cruiser but with larger and more modules. There are some good candidates for 'breaking the mould' (Punisher fitted with Autocannon turrets is a classic) but they are more skill intensive and often require extensive cross-training. New pilots are likely best served by playing to the Amarrian formula until they know when and how to break the rules.
+
Amarr ships are also highly popular with armour [[Incursions|incursion]] fleets, especially the {{sh|Paladin}} and {{sh|Legion}}. While not technically an Amarrian ship, the {{sh|Nightmare}} is one of the most sought after ships for shield incursion fleets and uses energy turrets, so is a natural progression for an Amarr pilot willing to cross-train.

Amarrian ships are more restricted when running [[Missions|missions]] than the other races. Within Amarr space, against the Blood Raiders and Sansha's Nation factions, Amarrian ships are probably the most effective of all (as is typical with the other empires). However, lasers only do Thermal and Electromagnetic damage, so other factions are more difficult to combat than would be the case for pilots from the other empires fighting in Amarrian space. This is a concern for some Eve University pilots who want to try missioning close to home, as the University is based in Minmatari space where Angels are the common faction but there are effective solutions, such as the [[#Arbitrator | Arbitrator]] (which relies on drones and could carry another empire's drones with proper training) or using alternative turret weapons systems (such as a Punisher with projectile turrets).
+
Exceptional tanks, large capacitors, and reliable damage and range make some Amarrian ships a firm favourite in armour fleets, though fits with shield tanks or alternate weapon systems also see some use. At the basic level, Amarr ships tend to stick to the formula of lots of armour for defence and lots of lasers for damage with fewer atypical ships than in other races' line-ups. As a result, Amarr are sometimes said to be the simplest race to fly. There are some good candidates for 'breaking the mould' even for a new player (a {{sh|Punisher}} fitted with projectile turrets is a classic), but they are more skill intensive and often require cross-training.

=Amarr Skills General Information=
+
In frigate hulls, the Punisher or Executioner are typically used for tackling, and the Crucifier for EW. The Arbitrator makes an excellent DPS-and-EWAR boat, the Omen is a focused damage-dealer, and the Maller's massive potential tank makes it great (if obvious) bait. In battleship hulls, the {{sh|Armageddon}}, {{sh|Apocalypse}}, and {{sh|Abaddon}} all have their uses.  The Apocalypse can be used as a sniper (sometimes with a very weak tank to maximize damage potential) and the Abaddon's bonus to armor resists grants it gigantic tank, making it one of the most survivable battleships when supported by [[Logistics|logistics]], although a combination of (relatively) weak capacitor and no cap use bonuses can make it power-hungry. The Armageddon's bonus to energy neutralizers makes it the best base T1 capacitor warfare platform in the game.
  
−
The skills which are important to Amarr characters are the same skills which are crucial to every pilot who wants to use the same basic systems. There is already good information on [[Basic Skills]] and [[Support Skills]] elsewhere. So if you want maximize [[turrets|turret]] weapon damage you will train the same skills as other projectile or hybrid users (but pay particular attention to [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Controlled_Bursts Controlled Bursts] and [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sharpshooter Sharpshooter]). Similarly the skills are the same for all pilots who want to survive with an [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Smurfprime%27s_Guide_to_Basic_Tanking#Armor_tanking armour tank], or use [[drones]] effectively, and all of this backed up by solid support and fitting skills (prioritize the capacitor skills [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Energy_Systems_Operation Energy Systems Operation] and [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Energy_Management Energy Management] highly). Amarr pilots should aim for a [Full T2 Tank] early in their careers. Some Amarr ships can be shield tanked effectively, but these are more specialized builds (such as the PvP shield Harbinger) and often for T2 ships (such as the Curse).
+
== Skills ==
  
−
Amarr pilots should eventually acquire T2 gunnery skills, though this is often done after having stepped into a battleship.
+
Amarr ships share many core skills with the ships of the other three main factions. Very new pilots should consider EVE University's [[Short Skill Plan]]; relatively new pilots should consider [[The Magic 14|the 14 skills which affect every ship]], the [[Fitting skills|fitting skills]] which make it easier to fit modules onto ships, and the [[Support skills|support skills]] which underpin much of your ship's performance. For longer-term training, EVE University's [[Pyramid Skill Plan]] offers one useful way of conceiving of your goals.
  
−
===Tech 2 Energy Turrets===
+
That said, there are some considerations that are specific to Amarr ships. Capacitor skills are especially crucial for Amarr pilots, and should be an early priority; these are mostly found in the [[Skills:Engineering|Engineering]] category, though {{sk|Controlled Bursts}}, in Gunnery, is also very important. [[Skills:Armor|Armour]] skills will be essential for flying any Amarr combat ships, and being able to mount a T2 armour tank can help bring out the strengths of many T1 Amarr hulls in PvP and PvE. [[Skills:Drones|Drone skills]] are also important for any pilot taking the drone ship path through the Amarr ships, and eventually for an Amarr pilot: at around cruiser size, all Amarr ships begin being able to fly a full flight of 5 drones, making Drones V a highly desirable tain.
  
−
Here are the skills and prerequisites you will need to utilise a Tech 2 energy turret.  This may be one of your goals if you want to specialize in being an Amarr Damage Dealer.
+
Cross training into or out of Amarr can be quite skill intensive. The easiest prospect is probably [[Gallente Basic Ship and Skill Overview|Gallente]], as the two ship lineups share armour tanking, gunnery, and drone synergies. A combination of Amarr and Gallente ship skills also opens up the popular [[Pirate_Faction_Ship_Overview#Servant_Sisters_of_EVE|Sisters of EVE ships]]. Pilots cross-trained for Caldari ships will be able to make good use of the niche set of T2 Amarr ships with missile bonuses.

Each type of Energy Turret requires a specific specialization skill. Note that each larger size specializations will incorporate the smaller size specialization with all its prerequisites. Here they are with applicable prerequisites:

===Progression===
+
Little more than slower, armed shuttles, corvettes (or "noobships") are the basic frigates that new pilots start with. You can acquire a new corvette at no cost (together with a civilian weapon, a civilian mining laser, and one unit of Tritanium) by clicking on the "Board my corvette" button available in the station menu when you're docked up. On their own, corvettes are useful for little other than basic errand-running, though since the ship is free a corvette can be spawned as a makeshift small station container when no other containers are available.
  
−
A classic progression of Amarr ships would be to train for the Punisher, move to the Omen, skill up a Harbinger, and then move into battleships. This is certainly an effective way to go and puts the most emphasis on hard hitting lasers and hefty armour tanks. Unfortunately the Omen is a bit of a weak link in the chain as it is very difficult to fly well without high skills. But for minimum deviation straight to large ship excellence this can work.
+
{{Ship|Impairor|box}}
 +
The corvette is the first ship you start with. If you are Amarr, it will be an Impairor.
  
−
Alternatives exist however. If the pilot wants to focus on EWAR, then laser skills can be replaced with drone skills and the path can go from Crucifier to Arbitrator as a stepping off point for Tech 2 EWAR ships (Sentinel, Curse and Pilgrim). Or for the truly different the Inquisitor leads to the Khanid line of Tech 2 short range missile ships (Vengeance and Sacrilege for damage together with other support ships like the Malediction or Heretic).
+
=== Frigates ===
 +
{{Ship|Crucifier|box}}
 +
The Crucifier is the Amarr EWAR frigate and works great as an extremely cheap long range EWAR platform for very new pilots.  
  
−
===Cross Training===
 
  
−
Cross training into or out of Amarr can be quite skill intensive. The easiest prospect is probably [[Gallente Basic Ship and Skill Guide|Gallente]] (armour tanking, gunnery and drone synergies) with [[Minmatar Basic Ship and Skill Guide|Minmatar]] second (some gunnery and armour tanking synergies). [[Caldari Basic Ship and Skill Guide|Caldari]] have the fewest skills in common, despite Khanid missile ships at the Amarr Tech 2 level, and could require the most retraining.
+
{{Ship|Executioner|box}}
 +
The Executioner is the Amarr fast frigate. The Executioner was buffed in the Inferno expansion, gaining an extra mid slot and a bonus to propulsion jamming so that it now resembles a T1 interceptor, making it a great stepping stone for new tacklers.
  
−
However, the main benefit of cross training is to get more options for ship and fitting selection and being able to conform to fleet doctrine in both PvE (wormholes, incursions) and PvP. Thus, cross training into minmatar or caldari often gives the most benefit, to expand on ship selections capable of shield tanking. Cross training to Minmatar will give access to Blood Raider pirate faction ships. Cross training to Caldari will give access to Sansha ships. While cross training to Gallente will not give any access to pirate ships.
 
  
 +
{{Ship|Inquisitor|box}}
 +
The Inquisitor is the Amarr logistics frigate. It acquired this role in the Retribution expansion.
  
−
=Rookie Ship=
 
  
−
The rookie ship is the first ship you start with. If you are Amarr, it will be a Impairor. A new rookie ship is given whenever you dock at a station where you do not have any ships.  
+
{{Ship|Magnate|box}}
 +
Magnates are a perfect platform to practice probing skills which will come in handy later both for exploration and PvP probing.

−
|name=Impairor, Tutorials

This is easily the most tenacious of the T1 frigates. Due to excellent armour HP together with the bonus to armour resistances and the 5 low slots, this platform can handle a surprising amount of damage for a T1 frigate. The Punisher's 4 turrets can give it decent dps, but its 2 Mid slots prevent it from fitting the [[Tackling_Guide|tackling]] trinity: a propulsion module, a point, and a web.

It can serve as a level 1 mission runner until Amarr Frigate III is trained for the Punisher and Destroyers I for the Coercer. For tackling, the Punisher is used more often since they have the same number of mid slots, but the punisher can fit a sturdier tank.

The Maller was buffed in the Retribution patch to have a bonus to medium laser damage rather than a capacitor use bonus. It can obtain a good tank while retaining decent DPS. However, due to the lack of a capacitor use bonus, for PvE, an Omen might be a better choice for lower skilled players. The Maller is likely to become much more popular in PvP.

Signature Analysis III<br>
+
The Abaddon has a bonus for laser damage and armor resistances, but the normal bonus for laser capacitor use is conspicuously missing. This makes the Abaddon a "high skill" ship because it requires good core skills to keep its lasers firing while powering its tank. The bonus to tank and the high damage makes the Abaddon a popular PvP ship, where its difficulty staying cap stable is also not so much of an issue.

{{Ship|Apocalypse|box}}
 +
The Apocalypse has a bonus to optimal range that with the Amarr ability to switch crystals instantly can be turned into a damage bonus quite easily. Pulse laser Apocalypses with T2 Scorch ammunition are able to deliver good damage at a decent distance and the tracking bonus can allow it to hit smaller ships quite well. Apocalypses are also well suited to beam laser sniper fits, making the hull surprisingly versatile for any Amarr ship. The Apocalypse does not have the raw firepower of the Abaddon however but is an easier ship to skill for.

While previously all Amarr battleships were fairly similar, the Armageddon's new face makes it an entirely different beast.

{{Ship|Bestower|box}}
−
|name=Tormentor, Mining Basic
+
Arguably the best of the T1 haulers from a skill training time per cargo capacity perspective, the Bestower is a favourite for alternate character hauling setups. If only training an alt to the faction's hauler III, the Bestower has the highest capacity for less than 18 hours of training time. With the Odyssey expansion, it is only necessary to train to faction's hauler III instead of V on the way to faction's freighter I. Additionally, the removal of faction's frigate III as a requirement for Haulers means that any faction can select the Bestower as their hauler of choice on the way to becoming a freighter alt.

Miner I<br>

Although lacking the cargo capacity of the [[Bestower]], it is significantly faster, more agile, and more flexible with five low slots that can be swapped between nanofibers, expanders, or warp core stabilizers as needed. It can easily be expanded to hold 8000 {{m3}}, the max needed for [[Making Money with Hauling - Level 4 Cargo Missions|running L4 distribution missions]], while still having three nanofibers for an under eight second align, or a nanofiber and a couple of stabs if the mission takes you into lowsec.

Since ammo crystals can be swapped instantly, you should feel able to shift rapidly between crystals as the situation demands. You will want to swap crystals in and out to keep up with the ranges of your targets: lasers have little falloff range, which means little margin for error at the edge of your range. The Tech 1 crystals offer a three-way trade-off of range, damage, and capacitor use: short-ranged crystals do high DPS and are cap-hungry, long-ranged crystals do low DPS and are cap-hungry, and mid-ranged crystals do moderate DPS and are gentler on the capacitor.

*The Capacitor Power Relay has a minor penalty to the shield booster. A Capacitor Flux Coil can be used instead if you have enough CPU, however the difference between the two modules are not significant on this fit.

This is easily the most tenacious of the T1 frigates. Due to excellent armour HP together with the bonus to armour resistances and the 4 low slots, this platform can handle a surprising amount of damage for a T1 frigate. The Punisher's 3 turrets can give it decent dps, but its 2 Mid slots prevent it from fitting the [[Tackling 101 Guide|tackling]] trinity: a propulsion module, a point, and a web.<br>

This the E-UNI tackler for new Amarr pilots, but it does not excel at this role due to the limited mid slots and low base velocity.

Small drones should be used against frigate-sized enemies, medium drones should be used against cruiser-sized enemies, and heavy drones should be used against battleship-sized enemies.  Sentries are mostly meant for battleship-sized enemies, but if smaller enemies are far enough that tracking and signature radius isn't an issue, they can deal relatively well with those too.
  
 +
All four races' drones are viable in PvE and you should select drones that deal the damage type which your target NPCs are weakest.
  
−
{{ShipGuideFittings
+
Watch out for enemies attacking your drones. If you're in a dedicated drone boat and see your drones taking damage, recall them: they are your main weapon and you don't want to be defanged. In PvE combat, try to get the NPCs to attack you before you launch your drones.

Keyboard / auxiliary mouse button shortcuts are recommended for drone management. Shortcuts can be set for attack and return to drone bay commands.

In general, it is better to keep drones in Passive mode. In missions and wormholes, drones set to Aggressive can trigger a new wave earlier than desired. In PvP, drones set to Aggressive can give you an unwanted [[Timers#Weapon_Timer|weapon timer]] which then prevents you from docking up or jumping through a gate to safety.

|info=The 8 high slots will cause a sharp intake of breath for a new player getting their first Coercer. This firepower will make it an ideal platform for chewing through any Level 1 Mission. The 4 low slots allow enough tank to accomplish this PvE task easily; however, it is limited by only having 1 mid slot compared to other destroyers.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
It fulfills a role as an early salvager capably, and this is probably the more enduring role as most players will likely outgrow its PvE uses quickly. It can be used for Level 2 Missions, but this requires caution balanced against the knowledge and SP of the pilot and accordingly the fit.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
Destroyers in general are of limited use in PvP for low skill point pilots. They have a small tank like a frigate on a ship with a larger signature radius and combined with its higher damage output, destroyers are early targets in fleet engagements. The Coercer also lacks midslots for utility modules like warp disruptors, scramblers, and stasis webifiers, meaning it tends to be relegated to PvE use. With very high skill points and once Tech 2 modules can be fitted their are some fun niche roles for the coercer but those are beyond the scope of this guide.

* The low slots on a salvaging boat can vary. The co-processor is only needed if you lack cpu, Electronics IV will give enough cpu to fit another Capacitor Power Relay I. The capacitor power relays help running the modules for longer periods of time, especially if cap skills are low. Cargo expanders can be of use in missions with many wrecks to loot. Even with cargo expanders, a destroyer will often run out of cargo space in level 4 missions.
 
−
* Rigs are optional, they are very expensive for most newbies.
 
−
* If salvaging sleeper sites in wormhole space, it is recommended to replace one tractor and one salvager by a prototype cloaking device and a core probe launcher.

|info=The Arbitrator is more versatile than most Amarr ships as it has bonuses to both drones and tracking disruption and a flexible slot layout, it is even technically the Amarr mining cruiser. Unlike other Amarr vessels, the Arbitrator rarely relies on turrets to deal damage; instead, pilots tend to leverage the drone damage bonus and large drone bay while using the high slots for utility modules. It is even one of the few exceptions which can be functionally shield tanked although this is unlikely for a new Amarr pilot as the required skills will not be trained.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
In PvE, the long range on drones allows the Arbitrator to kite NPCs and avoid most incoming damage by being far out of range of their weapons. Combined with the ability to fit tractor beams and salvagers in the highs, this makes the Arbitrator the best Amarr missioning cruiser, potentially able to take on level three missions with good skills.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
In PvP situations, the Arbitrator remains an excellent ship. The tracking disruptor bonus allows it to shut down enemy damage-dealers and protect fleetmates, while still contributing damage via drones.<br><br>
 
−
The Arbitrator's flexibilty does suffer from a few limitations. It lacks the slots for a good array of onboard weapons - two turrets and a single missile launcher contribute a paltry amount of DPS, leading to pilots either ignoring weapons for PvP use, or fitting token guns to get aggro in PvE while using drones for actual damage. The Arbitrator has a rather small capacitor for an Amarr ship, particularly when using a Microwarpdrive, and it is not terribly maneuverable.

|info=The Augoror is the Amarr logistics cruiser. It's bonused towards capacitor transfer, which if of limited use by itself. While cap transfer is strong when paired with armor remote repair, as on the Guardian or remote-rep battleship gangs, the Augoror is limited enough that it is rarely used in PvP. Granted, the Augoror can have an extraordinarily tough tank, it's just hard to make that tank useful.

|info=The Maller's armour resist bonus lets it fit a beastly tank, especially as it has sufficient fitting room for large armor plates, but it suffers from poor damage. The Cap use bonus doesn't increase the Maller's damage output, so it is another candidate to fit projectile turrets on if skills are cross trained, much as autocannons can be used on the Punisher.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
For PvE, both the Omen and Arbitrator are more common choices, as each can fit a sufficient tank for L2 missions while maintaining a higher damage output than the Maller.
 
−

Because it's only significant ability is to tank, the only role it can fill in PvP is bait. However, because this is the only role it can fill and it is well known for being used this way, it makes a terrible bait ship.

The Prophecy is not a commonly used ship. It certainly can fit an amazing tank for slightly less cost than the Harbinger, but it has a comparatively weak damage output with fewer turrets than the Harbinger, and no damage bonus. Because it's only significant ability is to tank, the only role it can fill in PvP is bait. However, because this is the only role it can fill and it is well known for being used this way, it makes a terrible bait ship.<br>
 
−
<br>The Prophecy does have a niche PvE use. It could be fitted with projectile turrets and a good tank, and used for missioning in Angel space, since fusion ammo is more effective against Angels than lasers. But this is less effective way to make ISK than a Harbinger fit for missions against non-angels.

|info=The Harbinger is an excellent battlecruiser. It has high damage at good ranges, is relatively maneuverable for an Amarr ship, has a decent drone bay, and even comes with a utility high slot.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
Depending on pilot's fitting skills, it can be difficult to find the power grid for the biggest medium guns (Heavy Pulse or Heavy Beam lasers), but this is a small drawback.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
The seven high slots are typically completely full of lasers, with the utility high fit with either drone link augmentor, probe launchers, or tractor beams. There are a good number of mid-slots for an Amarr ship, providing room for a MWD/point/web/utility mod (usually a cap booster) in PvP. The harbinger has a large number of low slots, letting it fit hefty armour tanks or plenty of damage modules.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
There are niche PvP fits using shield tanks, but most harbingers are predictably armour tanked.

|info=The Armageddon is the cheapest Amarr battleship, making it popular among pilots concerned about losing their ship in PvP, but it still offers very high dps. The laser cap use and laser rate of fire bonuses have good synergy, and the 'Geddon has a utility high that makes it popular in [[RR battleship fitting|remote repair battleship gangs]]. Sadly the Armageddon has only three midslots, so pilots cannot fit a propulsion mod, point, web, and cap booster, but a combination of three of those four is very common. It is the only Amarr battleship that can field a full flight of heavy drones or sentries. Lastly, the Armageddon tends to be very tight to fit.

The Armageddon is less popular for PvE use than either the Apocalypse or Abaddon for various reasons.

|info=The Apocalypse does not have a damage bonus. Normally that would imply a projectile weapon fit would be common, but the laser range bonus can translate into a damage bonus, allowing pilots to use shorter-range, higher-damage crystals from farther away.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
The Apoc is the most common Amarr PvE ship because range is so important in missions, and the cap use bonus lets it fit a good tank more easily, freeing slots for heat sinks and armor hardeners. With Amarr Battleship 4 or 5, the Apocalypse can often fit pulse lasers and deal good damage at beam laser range. (Indeed, t2 pulses with scorch are excellent weapons for PvE Apocs)
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
For PvP, the Apocalypse is an outstanding fleet sniper, able to hit hard out to 200km+ ranges. It is, however, less common in shorter-range PvP engagements, where the damage and tank bonuses of the Armageddon and Abaddon make those ships more popular.

|info=The Abaddon has a laser damage and an armour resistance bonus. As such, the Abaddon can be fit for excellent tank and gank. The downside being the capacitor. The tendency to fit big guns, use short-range, high-damage, cap-intensive ammo, plus possible microwarpdrive or armour reppers, means the Abaddon burns through its capacitor very quickly. As such, it's almost always fit with a capacitor booster for PvP, and capacitor modules are indispensable for PvE fits.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
Abaddons are reasonable PvE alternatives to the Apocalypse, though this really depends on the particular NPCs a pilot is facing. It takes a bit of work and good capacitor skills to get a cap stable tank on the Abaddon, but it has a higher damage potential than the apoc at close range.
 
−
<br><br>
 
−
For PvP the Abaddon has the strongest tank of any Amarr battleship, with resist bonuses helping both local buffer tanks and increasing the efficiency of any remote repair that may be directed its way.

|info=This industrial requires [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Amarr_Industrial Amarr Industrial I] and is one of the fastest industrial haulers. This is of course a relative statement as it is still very slow, but with 5 low slots you can get an align time much quicker than is normal for an industrial. It is extremely fragile and even if tanked as much as possible it is very easy to suicide gank. Typically there is no point fitting a tank or cargo extenders at all, either use it for its relative speed or fly a Bestower. This makes it the industrial of choice for relatively small, cheap cargo runs through high-sec on autopilot as long as they will not tempt suicide gankers.

|info=Arguably the best of the racial industrials from a 'bang for your buck' perspective, and only requiring [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Amarr_Industrial Amarr Industrial I], the bestower is a favourite for alternate character hauling setups. See [[Creating an Alt Hauler]] for details.
 
−
 
 
−
The Bestower can easily get enough room for a packaged battlecruiser with a few expanded carohold IIs and rigs, and players should not overlook the use of Giant Secure Containers to further expand the internal cargohold. If you are tempted to put a tank on it for fear of suicide gankers you should really consider not hauling that cargo with this ship: either get a friend who can fly something tougher to help or take out a courier contract.

Latest revision as of 16:47, 13 March 2024

This guide provides general information and recommendations for T1 ships of a single player faction.

For more advanced and in-depth information on specific ships refer to EVE ships. This guide simply gathers the characteristics and overview of racial lineups in an easy to browse format for the very new player.

Basic Ship and Skill Overviews -- Amarr | Caldari | Gallente | Minmatar | ORE | Pirate

The Amarr Empire is one of the four playable factions and, like the others, has a distinct line of ships with specific quirks and abilities.

General Traits

The following traits are shared by most or all Amarr ships:

  • Armour tanking. Amarrian ships have high base armour, and several ships have direct bonuses to armour resistances: for example, the Punisher, Maller, Prophecy, and Abaddon. Armor tanks use up low slots, can slow ships down, and are hungry for powergrid, but they leave mid slots free, require relatively less CPU, and (in active tanks) place comparatively lower burdens on the capacitor than shield tanks
  • Energy turrets. These are the standard for the majority of Amarrian damage-dealing vessels. Energy turrets (more usually "lasers") offer a reliable combination of range and damage when compared with projectile or hybrid turrets. Their ammo, energy crystals, can be swapped out instantly. Tech 1 crystals last forever, and faction and Tech 2 crystals wear out only slowly. On the other hand, energy turrets use a great deal of capacitor to fire, tend to have comparatively poor tracking speeds for their size, and can only ever deal thermal and EM damage, which can make it impossible to hit some enemies' weaker damage resistances.
    • The short-ranged energy weapons, pulse lasers, have long ranges compared to projectile autocannon and hybrid turrets but lack the raw punch of hybrid blasters or the selectable damage and forgiving falloff of autocannon.
    • The long-ranged energy weapons, beam lasers, have reliable DPS, but are shorter-ranged than hybrid railguns or projectile artillery, and lack the selectable damage and alpha strike potential of artillery.
  • Drones. The Amarr ship line-up comes second only to the Gallente in terms of drone bays, bandwidth, and ships with drone bonuses. Amarr drone ships tend to have slightly larger drone bays than their Gallentean counterparts, which means more tactical flexibility and drone replacement, but also tend to have less drone bandwidth, which means a lower DPS cap. These differences even out at the battleship level, as the Armageddon and the Dominix match in these respects.
  • Large capacitors. Amarr pilots rely heavily on their capacitors; lasers are heavy on the capacitor to such a degree that many Amarrian hulls have a bonus that decreases capacitor usage of energy turrets. Amarr hulls tend to have larger capacitors than the hulls of the other empires and many Amarrian pilots prioritize capacitor skills.
  • Capacitor warfare. The Dragoon and the Armageddon have bonuses that make them particularly effective with energy neutralizers used to drain targets' capacitors. These synergise well with the naturally strong capacitors found on Amarr ships, and with the use of drones, which require no capacitor. Amarr proficiency with capacitor warfare continues in T2 ships with the Black Ops Amarr Redeemer and the widely-feared Amarr Curse and Amarr Pilgrim.
  • Weapon Disruption is the Amarr EWAR specialism. Weapon disruption can cut the ranges and tracking speeds of turrets, or the ranges and precision of missiles. It is situationally powerful, but not as universally powerful as ECM or sensor dampening: different modules must be fitted to disrupt turrets or to disrupt missiles, which reduces tactical flexibility.
  • Low speeds. Amarr ships tend to have low base speeds for their size and class, often fit armour plates which further reduce their speed and agility, and often use low slots for tank or damage rather than speed modules. Given the high low slots, Amarr ships can sometimes be speed-fitted, but at the cost of tank and damage.
  • Missiles. No Tech 1 Amarr ships focus on missiles, but there is a line of Tech 2 Amarr ships with missile bonuses: the Amarr Vengeance, Amarr Malediction, Amarr Heretic, Amarr Sacrilege, and Amarr Damnation. These are not a concern for Amarr pilots who are just starting out, but dedicated Amarr pilots might find themselves training into them one day.

If there is one broad characteristic that runs across Amarr ships, it is energy. Amarr ships aren't the most versatile, and they don't always have great speed or the highest on-paper DPS, but they have immense reserves of capacitor which they can use to pound opponents with extremely reliable and consistent laser damage—with potentially infinite ammo!—and to drain opponents dry with powerful capacitor warfare.

Notable Uses

PvE

A classic progression of Amarr mission ships would be to train the Punisher and Amarr Coercer for Level 1 missions, the Amarr Omen or Amarr Arbitrator for L2s, the Amarr Harbinger for L3s, and finally the Amarr Apocalypse for L4s. Amarrian laser ships are more restricted when running missions and ratting than the other races. Within Amarr space, against the Blood Raiders and Sansha's Nation factions, Amarrian ships are probably the most effective of all (as is typical with the other empires). However, lasers only do thermal and EM damage, so other typical NPC enemy factions are tougher for lasers. This is a concern for some Eve University pilots who want to try mission-running close to home, as the University is based in Gallente space where Serpentis are the common faction.

One alternative option is to brush up on drone skills and use the line of Amarr ships which use drones rather than lasers as their primary weapon. Since drones are easily swapped and allow fully-selectable damage, this lets pilots target whatever type of damage NPCs are weakest to. A pilot doing this would progress through the Amarr Dragoon, Amarr Arbitrator, Amarr Prophecy, and Amarr Armageddon (though note that until the battleship stage and the Armageddon, the Amarr drone ships have a little less bandwidth than their Gallente counterparts).

In Wormholes, the Harbinger can run C1 and C2 combat sites, although it may have trouble with either range or tracking due to the variety of sleeper hulls that can orbit either close or far. Like the other turret-based BCs, the Harbinger does much better in fleets than solo for wormholes. C3 wormholes can also be done in a Harbinger with a fleet of sufficient size.

For salvaging, a Amarr Coercer makes a very good, cheap salvager.

Amarr ships are also highly popular with armour incursion fleets, especially the Amarr Paladin and Amarr Legion. While not technically an Amarrian ship, the Sansha's Nation Nightmare is one of the most sought after ships for shield incursion fleets and uses energy turrets, so is a natural progression for an Amarr pilot willing to cross-train.

PvP

Exceptional tanks, large capacitors, and reliable damage and range make some Amarrian ships a firm favourite in armour fleets, though fits with shield tanks or alternate weapon systems also see some use. At the basic level, Amarr ships tend to stick to the formula of lots of armour for defence and lots of lasers for damage with fewer atypical ships than in other races' line-ups. As a result, Amarr are sometimes said to be the simplest race to fly. There are some good candidates for 'breaking the mould' even for a new player (a Amarr Punisher fitted with projectile turrets is a classic), but they are more skill intensive and often require cross-training.

In frigate hulls, the Punisher or Executioner are typically used for tackling, and the Crucifier for EW. The Arbitrator makes an excellent DPS-and-EWAR boat, the Omen is a focused damage-dealer, and the Maller's massive potential tank makes it great (if obvious) bait. In battleship hulls, the Amarr Armageddon, Amarr Apocalypse, and Amarr Abaddon all have their uses. The Apocalypse can be used as a sniper (sometimes with a very weak tank to maximize damage potential) and the Abaddon's bonus to armor resists grants it gigantic tank, making it one of the most survivable battleships when supported by logistics, although a combination of (relatively) weak capacitor and no cap use bonuses can make it power-hungry. The Armageddon's bonus to energy neutralizers makes it the best base T1 capacitor warfare platform in the game.

Skills

Amarr ships share many core skills with the ships of the other three main factions. Very new pilots should consider EVE University's Short Skill Plan; relatively new pilots should consider the 14 skills which affect every ship, the fitting skills which make it easier to fit modules onto ships, and the support skills which underpin much of your ship's performance. For longer-term training, EVE University's Pyramid Skill Plan offers one useful way of conceiving of your goals.

That said, there are some considerations that are specific to Amarr ships. Capacitor skills are especially crucial for Amarr pilots, and should be an early priority; these are mostly found in the Engineering category, though Controlled Bursts, in Gunnery, is also very important. Armour skills will be essential for flying any Amarr combat ships, and being able to mount a T2 armour tank can help bring out the strengths of many T1 Amarr hulls in PvP and PvE. Drone skills are also important for any pilot taking the drone ship path through the Amarr ships, and eventually for an Amarr pilot: at around cruiser size, all Amarr ships begin being able to fly a full flight of 5 drones, making Drones V a highly desirable tain.

Cross training into or out of Amarr can be quite skill intensive. The easiest prospect is probably Gallente, as the two ship lineups share armour tanking, gunnery, and drone synergies. A combination of Amarr and Gallente ship skills also opens up the popular Sisters of EVE ships. Pilots cross-trained for Caldari ships will be able to make good use of the niche set of T2 Amarr ships with missile bonuses.

Ships

Here are the Amarr T1 ships. Please follow the links to the specific pages of the ship database for more details and particular fits.

Corvette

Little more than slower, armed shuttles, corvettes (or "noobships") are the basic frigates that new pilots start with. You can acquire a new corvette at no cost (together with a civilian weapon, a civilian mining laser, and one unit of Tritanium) by clicking on the "Board my corvette" button available in the station menu when you're docked up. On their own, corvettes are useful for little other than basic errand-running, though since the ship is free a corvette can be spawned as a makeshift small station container when no other containers are available.

The Impairor-class corvette has been mass-produced by the Amarr Empire for decades. It is the most common space vessel sighted within the Amarrian boundaries, and is used both as a basic trade vessel and as a small-scale slave transport.

The corvette is the first ship you start with. If you are Amarr, it will be an Impairor.

The Crucifier was first designed as an explorer/scout, but the current version employs the electronic equipment originally intended for scientific studies for more offensive purposes. The Crucifier's electronic and computer systems take up a large portion of the internal space leaving limited room for cargo or traditional weaponry.

The Crucifier is the Amarr EWAR frigate and works great as an extremely cheap long range EWAR platform for very new pilots.

The Executioner is another newly commissioned ship of the Amarr Imperial Navy. The Executioner was designed specially to counter the small, fast raider frigates of the Minmatar Republic; thus it is different from most Amarr ships in favoring speed over defenses. With the Executioner, the Amarrians have expanded their tactical capabilities on the battlefield.

The Executioner is the Amarr fast frigate. The Executioner was buffed in the Inferno expansion, gaining an extra mid slot and a bonus to propulsion jamming so that it now resembles a T1 interceptor, making it a great stepping stone for new tacklers.

In YC114 each major empire faction, having been embroiled in a harrowing, extensive, long-term war, recognized the growing need for support and logistics functionality in their vessels during the kind of protracted interstellar warfare that might otherwise prove exhausting for its participants. In the Amarr Empire, this led to the redesign and redeployment of the Inquisitor.

The Inquisitor was originally an example of how the Amarr Imperial Navy modeled their design to counter specific tactics employed by the other empires. After its redesign, it was exclusively devoted to the role of a support frigate, and its formerly renowned missile capabilities gave way to a focus on remote armor repair.

The Inquisitor is the Amarr logistics frigate. It acquired this role in the Retribution expansion.

This Magnate-class frigate is one of the most decoratively designed ship classes in the Amarr Empire, considered to be a pet project for a small, elite group of royal ship engineers for over a decade. The frigate's design has gone through several stages over the past decade, and new models of the Magnate appear every few years. The most recent versions of this ship – the Silver Magnate and the Gold Magnate – debuted as rewards in the Amarr Championships in YC105, though the original Magnate design is still a popular choice among Amarr pilots.

Magnates are a perfect platform to practice probing skills which will come in handy later both for exploration and PvP probing.

The Punisher is considered by many to be one of the best Amarr frigates in existence. As evidenced by its heavy armaments, the Punisher is mainly intended for large-scale military operations, acting in coordination with larger military vessels. With its damage output, however, it is also perfectly capable of punching its way right through unwary opponents.

This is easily the most tenacious of the T1 frigates. Due to excellent armour HP together with the bonus to armour resistances and the 5 low slots, this platform can handle a surprising amount of damage for a T1 frigate. The Punisher's 4 turrets can give it decent dps, but its 2 Mid slots prevent it from fitting the tackling trinity: a propulsion module, a point, and a web.


Along with the Executioner, the Punisher is a popular E-UNI tackler for new Amarr pilots. However, it does not excel at this role due to the limited mid slots, low base velocity, and mediocre scan resolution.

The Tormentor has been in service for many decades. For most of that time it saw service as a mining ship, its size barring it from making any kind of impact on the battlefield. As with most Amarr ships, however, its strong defenses always made it a tough opponent to crack, and with recent advances in turret capacitor use and damage output, its lasers have now stopped digging into dead ore and are instead focused on boring through the hulls of hapless vessels in combat.

While lacking the resistance bonus of the Punisher, or the speed of the Executioner, the Tormentor makes a good middle ground; four low slots allow for a good armor tank, and the three medium slots allow for better tackling than the Punisher.

Noticing the alarming increase in Minmatar frigate fleets, the Imperial Navy made its plans for the Coercer, a vessel designed specifically to seek and destroy the droves of fast-moving frigate rebels.

The Coercer sees some use in PvE activities or as a cheap Noctis substitute. It was recently changed in the Retribution patch to have two mid slots, making it a very viable PvP ship.

The Dragoon follows old religious tenets - ones thought rather dark by the majority of the cluster, but found perfectly normal by Amarr minds - that to exist as God's chosen people means fulfilling a very definite and often forceful role. This includes not only imposing the will of God, often through the time-honored methods of mindless proxies, but also profiting, even being nourished, off the energies of others.

As such, the Dragoon focuses on sending out a mass of drones, ones capable not only of swiftly hunting down their targets but also of inflicting tons of damage once contact is made. Moreover, the Dragoon is able to drain the target's energy in the meanwhile, all with the aim of leaving it little more than a trembling husk.

The Dragoon was introduced in the Retribution expansion. It is a drone / ewar ship. It is the only T1 ship smaller than a battleship to have a bonus to energy neutralizer and energy vampire range, allowing it to have a very unique combat style.

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.

You can easily argue this is the most flexible and capable platform for Amarr T1 cruisers, and even make a strong case for it being the best T1 drone cruiser in the game. There are many effective configurations for both PvE and PvP with this ship.

In YC114 each major empire faction, having been embroiled in a harrowing, extensive, long-term war, recognized the growing need for support and logistics functionality in their vessels during the kind of protracted interstellar warfare that might otherwise prove exhausting for its participants. Both Frigate and Cruiser-class ships were put under the microscope, and in the Amarr Empire the outcome of the re-evaluation process led, among other developments, to a redesign and redeployment of the Augoror.

The Augoror-class cruiser is one of the old warhorses of the Amarr Empire, having seen action in both the Jovian War and the Minmatar Rebellion. Like most Amarr vessels, the Augoror depended first and foremost on its resilience and heavy armor to escape unscathed from unfriendly encounters. After its overhaul, it had some of the armor stripped off to make room for equipment allowing it to focus on the armor of other vessels, along with energy transfers.

The Augoror is the Amarr logistics cruiser. It is one of the two armor logistics cruisers, the other being the Gallente Exequror. While the Exequror is bonused for more of a solo role, the bonus to Energy Transfer amount on the Augoror means it works best when paired with one or more other logistics ships with an Energy Transfer bonus.

Quite possibly the toughest cruiser in the galaxy, the Maller is a common sight in Amarrian Imperial Navy operations. It is mainly used for military duty, although a few can be found in the private sector acting as escort ships for very important dispatches.

The Maller was buffed in the Retribution patch to have a bonus to medium laser damage rather than a capacitor use bonus. It can obtain a good tank while retaining decent DPS. However, due to the lack of a capacitor use bonus, for PvE, an Omen might be a better choice for lower skilled players. The Maller is likely to become much more popular in PvP.

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.

The Omen is one of the two dedicated DPS cruisers. It is more adept at speed tanking than the Maller because of the lower signature radius and higher base velocity.

Right from its very appearance on a battlefield, the Harbinger proclaims its status as a massive weapon, a laser burning through the heart of the ungodly. Everything about it exhibits this focused intent, from the lights on its nose and wings that root out the infidels, to the large number of turreted high slots that serve to destroy them. Should any heathens be left alive after the Harbinger's initial assault, its drones will take care of them.

The Harbinger is an extremely capable Combat Battlecruiser and is well balanced with its competitors from the other races. It is the first real laser powerhouse in the Amarr lineup.

In YC 113 Empress Jamyl Sarum I challenged Amarr ship manufacturers to build a new battlecruiser that would break the stalemate of the Empyrean War. Deviating from the doctrine of brute-force and heavy armor, the engineers at Viziam took inspiration from Caldari history.

During the Gallente-Caldari War, the Caldari developed light, maneuverable ships to counter the slow ships of the Gallente Federation. This philosophy, along with a cutting-edge powertrain and ultra-light alloy armor plating, led to the Oracle.

The Empire immediately ordered the ship into production. The Empress personally congratulated Viziam Chief Researcher Parud Vakirokiki, calling the ship "a work of Divine Grace for the Empire, and retribution to our enemies."

The Oracle is the Amarr Attack Battlecruiser, swapping the tank of most Battlecruisers for the ability to fit battleship-sized weaponry. This allows it to project heavy DPS while maintaining the agility of a battlecruiser.

The Prophecy is built on an ancient Amarrian warship design dating back to the earliest days of starship combat. Originally intended as a full-fledged battleship, it was determined after mixed fleet engagements with early prototypes that the Prophecy would be more effective as a slightly smaller, more mobile form of artillery support.

The Prophecy is a Combat Battlecruiser that is primarily focused on being a tanky drone carrier.

The Abaddon class ship is a celestial tool of destruction. It is designed to enter combat from the outset, targeting enemies at range and firing salvo after salvo at them, and to remain intact on the battlefield until every heretic in sight has been torn to shreds.

The Abaddon has a bonus for laser damage and armor resistances, but the normal bonus for laser capacitor use is conspicuously missing. This makes the Abaddon a "high skill" ship because it requires good core skills to keep its lasers firing while powering its tank. The bonus to tank and the high damage makes the Abaddon a popular PvP ship, where its difficulty staying cap stable is also not so much of an issue.

In days past, only those in high favor with the Emperor could hope to earn the reward of commanding one of the majestic and powerful Apocalypse class battleships. In latter years, even though now in full market circulation, these golden, metallic monstrosities are still feared and respected as enduring symbols of Amarrian might.

The Apocalypse has a bonus to optimal range that with the Amarr ability to switch crystals instantly can be turned into a damage bonus quite easily. Pulse laser Apocalypses with T2 Scorch ammunition are able to deliver good damage at a decent distance and the tracking bonus can allow it to hit smaller ships quite well. Apocalypses are also well suited to beam laser sniper fits, making the hull surprisingly versatile for any Amarr ship. The Apocalypse does not have the raw firepower of the Abaddon however but is an easier ship to skill for.

The mighty Armageddon class is one of the enduring warhorses of the Amarr Empire. Once a juggernaut that steamrolled its way into battle, it has now taken on a more stately and calculated approach, sending out a web of drones in its place while it drains the enemy from a distance.

While previously all Amarr battleships were fairly similar, the Armageddon's new face makes it an entirely different beast. With the bonus to cap warfare range, the Armageddon is now the premier T1 neuting battleship, whilst still being able to put out a very respectable amount of DPS through its drones.


Haulers

Haulers are useful to transport large amounts of cargo, but they are vulnerable to suicide ganks in highsec, and piracy in lowsec. For war time hauling, a hauling alt is recommended. See the Creating an Alt Hauler article for more information.

The Bestower has for decades been used by the Empire as a slave transport, shipping human labor between cultivated planets in Imperial space. As a proof to how reliable this class has been through the years, the Emperor has used an upgraded version of this very same class as transports for the Imperial Treasury. The Bestower has very thick armor and large cargo space.

Arguably the best of the T1 haulers from a skill training time per cargo capacity perspective, the Bestower is a favourite for alternate character hauling setups. If only training an alt to the faction's hauler III, the Bestower has the highest capacity for less than 18 hours of training time. With the Odyssey expansion, it is only necessary to train to faction's hauler III instead of V on the way to faction's freighter I. Additionally, the removal of faction's frigate III as a requirement for Haulers means that any faction can select the Bestower as their hauler of choice on the way to becoming a freighter alt.

The Sigil is a recent ship from Viziam based on an old slave transport design.

Although lacking the cargo capacity of the Bestower, it is significantly faster, more agile, and more flexible with five low slots that can be swapped between nanofibers, expanders, or warp core stabilizers as needed. It can easily be expanded to hold 8000  m3, the max needed for running L4 distribution missions, while still having three nanofibers for an under eight second align, or a nanofiber and a couple of stabs if the mission takes you into lowsec.

Energy Turret Tips

Main article: Energy Turrets

Since ammo crystals can be swapped instantly, you should feel able to shift rapidly between crystals as the situation demands. You will want to swap crystals in and out to keep up with the ranges of your targets: lasers have little falloff range, which means little margin for error at the edge of your range. The Tech 1 crystals offer a three-way trade-off of range, damage, and capacitor use: short-ranged crystals do high DPS and are cap-hungry, long-ranged crystals do low DPS and are cap-hungry, and mid-ranged crystals do moderate DPS and are gentler on the capacitor.

Tech 2 pulse laser crystals are widely liked and well worth using. Conflagration manages excellent DPS but will struggle to track evasive/fast targets. Scorch pushes pulse lasers out to truly impressive distances for a "short"-range weapon.

Of the Tech 2 beam laser crystals, Gleam only offers a small boost over comparable faction ammo and see only limited use, but Aurora offers a massive range bonus and is popular for PvP sniping fits.

Drone Tips

Main article: Drone mechanics

Small drones should be used against frigate-sized enemies, medium drones should be used against cruiser-sized enemies, and heavy drones should be used against battleship-sized enemies. Sentries are mostly meant for battleship-sized enemies, but if smaller enemies are far enough that tracking and signature radius isn't an issue, they can deal relatively well with those too.

All four races' drones are viable in PvE and you should select drones that deal the damage type which your target NPCs are weakest.

Watch out for enemies attacking your drones. If you're in a dedicated drone boat and see your drones taking damage, recall them: they are your main weapon and you don't want to be defanged. In PvE combat, try to get the NPCs to attack you before you launch your drones.

Keyboard / auxiliary mouse button shortcuts are recommended for drone management. Shortcuts can be set for attack and return to drone bay commands. One group of drones in the drone window can be designated as your "favorite", and a button can be assigned to the command "launch favorite group of drones".

In general, it is better to keep drones in Passive mode. In missions and wormholes, drones set to Aggressive can trigger a new wave earlier than desired. In PvP, drones set to Aggressive can give you an unwanted weapon timer which then prevents you from docking up or jumping through a gate to safety.
