==Summary==
== Summary ==
With its many low slots for armor tank and a bonus to armor resistances, the punisher is known as the toughest t1 frigate around, but one that won't win any speed races. It is hampered in the tackling role by only having 2 mid slots, meaning it can only fit a single tackle module alongside the obligatory propulsion module, but if a tank fitted punisher gets in to scram range of you then it takes a lot of effort to get rid of it again.
The Punisher is an Amarr [[Frigates#Damage Dealer|Combat Frigate]]. The Punisher has the most base hit points, turret hardpoints and powergrid of any Tech I frigate. The ship’s bonuses to armor resistances and laser capacitor cost reinforce these advantages, making it possible to fit the Punisher for extraordinary tank and damage output. Unfortunately, the Punisher is also unique among combat frigates in having only two mid slots, which means the ship can only fit a single tackle module alongside a propulsion module. The Punisher is also very slow (especially when fitted for armor tank). As a result, the Punisher is not a strong solo PvP ship; opponents can easily keep the Punisher pilot at a distance and escape tackle. Novice Amarr solo pilots are probably better served flying the [[Tormentor]]. On the other hand, the Punisher is popular in small-ship gangs and frigate fleets where it can play the role of general damage dealer or bait, and where fleetmates can provide tackle. The Punisher is also a durable PvE frigate for Level 1 missions and for the Sisters of EVE epic arc. As a result, the Punisher is a great first frigate for new Unistas who want to learn about fitting, weapons, and defensive systems.


Prior to the Inferno patch, the punisher had a bonus to energy weapon capacitor, but not to damage, which resulted in some of the more effective setups using autocannons instead of lasers, freeing up more cap for armour repairs and other active modules at a minimal dps loss (considering all lvl5 skills). Now a clear tradeoff can to be made between damage and cap drain, with both laser based and autocannon based fits being equaly viable.
The Punisher is typically fit with small beam lasers, so that it can hit opponents at any range. By swapping crystal ammo on the fly, Punisher pilots can tune their optimal beam laser range between 8 and 25 km. A Punisher’s low slots are often filled with active or passive armor defense modules, and rig slots with armor rigs. The Punisher’s bonus to armor resistances pairs extremely well with frigate logistics, and a gang of Punishers and [[Inquisitor]]s can be tough to break.


With its damage bonus, tank bonus and 3 turrets the Punisher is a clear winner among the Amarr t1 frigates for the purpose of mission running.
== Skills ==
* {{sk|Amarr Frigate}} for the armor resist bonus and {{sk|Hull Upgrades}} to fit a strong armor tank synergize very well. Higher resists make your logi's repairs on you stronger in fleets.
* [[Skills:Armor|Armor Compensation]] skills for each damage type to make armor resistance modules even more effective.
* {{sk|Capacitor Management}}, {{sk|Controlled Bursts}}, {{sk|Fuel Conservation}}, and {{sk|Amarr Frigate}} will all help with capacitor, as the Punisher is a very cap-hungry ship.


==Skills==
== Tactics ==
''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Punisher for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''
PvE-fitted Punishers follow the same basic pattern as other PvE frigates: fit a minimal active tank, an afterburner, and the biggest bonused guns you can. The Punisher’s tank and damage output make it a great beginner's PvE ship, except for one problem: the ship consumes cap like there is no tomorrow, especially when using an armor repairer. Novice Punisher pilots can address this by focusing their skill training on capacitor skills, and especially {{sk|Capacitor Management}}, {{sk|Controlled Bursts}}, {{sk|Fuel Conservation}}, and {{sk|Amarr Frigate}}.


==Fitting==
PvP Punishers can play a variety of different roles in fleets and gangs--as traditional damage-dealers, as bait, as anti-support or anti-drone techs, just to name a few. Check with your FC on how your PvP Punisher fits into your fleet’s strategy. One thing to note is that the Punisher lacks a damage bonus for any particular weapons system, so counterintuitively it is not uncommon to see autocannons or blasters fitted onto Punishers in a fleet.

==Tactics==
Note this is all subjective, so feel free to add your own opinions. It is also not complete, so feel free to add again.
 
PvE fitted punishers follow the same basic pattern as all other PVE frigates: fit a minimal active tank, and afterburner, and the biggest bonused guns you can. Being rather tanky due to the resist bonuses while also doing better damage then other ammar frigates, it is the ideal beginner's ships if not for one problem: you eat cap like there is no tomorrow. To fix this, either train up your capacitor skills and controlled fire, and/or fit a nos in your 4th highslot, fitting skills permitting. Switching to standard crystals instead of multifrequency can also help slightly if you need that one extra rep cycle, but should not relied on.
 
PvP fits break down first by active or passive tank, then by pulse laser or autocannon. One variant of note is the laser active tanked variant, sometimes called a "bleeder" fit. These use a nos in the highslots and a massive active tank, with the aim of eliminating almost all of the incomeing dps, and slowly grinding the opponent down. Another commonly used variant is the passively tanked auto cannon boat. Due to only needing cap to keep your tackle up, and ample grid and CPU due to autocannons lesser requirements, you can fit a small neut into the high slot, which is devestating to other frigs, as no cap means they can not dictate range.
 
Flying solo or in a small group, the aim is find a compromise between sitting at your optimal and avoiding being in your opponents optimal. For laser ships, this normally involves using scorch, and sitting close to the edge of nos or scram range depending on your fitting, which puts you outside the effective range of blaster and autocannon fitted ships. However, due to only having two mid-slots, your range advantage is lost if the opponent is able to fit a web, so pick your targets with care.
 
==Notes==
This vessel qualifies for the University [[Ship Replacement Program]], [[PYOS]], and [[BYOM]].
