==Summary==
== Summary ==
The Archon is the Amarr carrier. It has bonuses to armor resistance, remote armor repair and energy transfer, making it a good logistics platform for armor fleets. The Archon is the backbone of the armor spider tanking sentry carrier doctrine known as Slowcats.
The '''Archon''' is the Amarr [[carrier]]. Although it has an extremely durable armor tank thanks to its resistance bonus, the Archon is mostly overlooked in favor of the other armor carrier, the [[Thanatos]], for both PvP and PvE. This is because the Archon has a smaller fighter bay and lower fighter damage, and carriers usually engage well out of the weapon range of enemy ships.

== Notes ==
For more info on fittings, please go [[Archon/Fittings|here]]
''Archon'' (''ἄρχων'') was the ancient Greek word for "ruler" (it's related to the modern English words "patriarchy" and "matriarchy"). But given the tendency of Amarr ship names to draw from specifically religious words, the Archon's name might come from the [[Wikipedia:Archon_(Gnosticism)|Archons]], powerful beings in the cosmology of Gnosticism and Manicheanism.

==Notes==
'''Equinox expansion''' - [https://www.eveonline.com/news/view/equinox-in-focus-new-upwell-ships Equinox in Focus: New Upwell Ships]
The Archon is currently, as of Inferno 1.3, the top-tier triage carrier by a pretty large margin. This is primarily due to its enormous tank, buffed by its armor resistance bonus, its generous capacitor, and the fact that when a carrier is in triage it won't have its fighters out anyway.
* Carriers will now have the capability of using a Conduit jump to take 5-30 players in the jump tunnel with them. The Number of players which are passengers for the jump is increased by a new skill, Capital Jump Portal Generation, which increases the limit by 5 per level. This is built into Carriers and does not require a module to be fitted.
* Carriers will gain the ability to fit new capital sized versions of the Micro Jump Drive and the Micro Jump Drive Field Generator, both of these modules will require a new skill, Capital Micro Jump Drive Operation.
