− | This is a work in progress, and the guide's [http://www.eve-ivy.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=28096 Discussion Thread] is on the Eve University forum. Please direct comments, suggestions, and corrections to that thread.
| + | 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. |
| + | {{RaceShipInfo|Amarr}} |
| | | |
| + | == General Traits == |
| + | The following traits are shared by most or all Amarr ships: |
| | | |
− | =10 reasons to fly Amarr=
| + | * '''[[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 |
− | <br>
| + | * '''[[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. |
− | #Amarr is the best because it is. You can't argue with simple truth. | + | ** 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. |
− | #Freak'n LAZORS!!!
| + | ** 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. |
− | #Men armour tank. Shelids or whatever is the red bar above your manly tank.
| + | * '''[[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. |
− | #Amarr discovered how to jump around space. So everyone else would be stuck on boring planets without us anyways.
| + | * '''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. |
− | #Did anyone mention the freak'n lazors?
| + | * '''[[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}}. |
− | #There is no six and this is because we Amarr decided it would be that way. | + | * '''[[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. |
− | #Symmetry anyone?
| + | * '''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. |
− | #Have you seen the Amarr Battleship lineup? If you were locked at the time then not for long.
| + | * [[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. |

− | =Amarr General Information=
| + | 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. |
| | | |
− | Amarr are one of the four character races, and like the others, have a distinct line of ships with specific quirks and capabilities. Amarr ships use [[Armour tanking|armour tanking]] to protect themselves and primarily employ [[Turrets|turrets]], specifically Energy Turrets (lasers) to do damage. Amarr are characterized by the following:
| + | == Notable Uses == |
− | * Armour tanking. This is the most popular tanking method for PvP, and is also the norm for Gallente and some Minmatar ships (making it the standard for [[Spider Tanking|Remote Repairing]]). Amarr ships have high base armour, and several ships have direct bonuses to armour resists (T1 examples: Punisher, Maller, Prophecy, and Abaddon).
| |
− | * Energy turrets. These are unique to Amarr vessels and no other races' ships have bonuses for lasers. Laser turrets offer an excellent middle ground by incorporating good range, tracking, and damage when compared to either projectiles or hybrids (the other types of turret weapon systems), which tend to have either poor range or tracking. Frequency crystals, the laser ammo type, can be changed instantly and Tech 1 crystals are unlimited ammunition as they never degrade or shatter. However, lasers are limited to EM and Thermal damage.
| |
− | * Capacitor. Amarr pilots rely heavily on their capacitors. Lasers are highly cap-intensive, to such a degree that some Amarr vessels have laser capacitor usage bonuses instead of damage bonuses. Thus, Amarr ships tend to have larger capacitors than other races' ships, and many Amarr pilots prioritize capacitor skills.
| |
− | * Drones. Amarr are very effective at using [[Drones|drones]], offering the only hulls with drone bonuses outside of the Gallente lineup.
| |
− | * Speed. Amarr ships tend to have lower than average base speeds, and, given that Armour tanking tends to directly compromise ships' speed, tanked Amarr fits are often ponderous. If, however, less tank is required Amarr ships' numerous low slots let them overtake even Minmatar ships at a cost.
| |
− | * EWAR. The Amarr racial EWAR is tracking disruption (TD), which reduces the optimal range, falloff, and tracking speed of hostile turrets. Tracking disruption is very difficult to counter, but is limited as it is only effective against ships with turrets; it has no affect on missile or drone systems.
| |
| | | |
| + | '''PvE''' |
| | | |
− | In PvP, Amarr ships have been a 'flavor of the month' for much more than a month, and can be extremely useful in nearly all roles. Exceptional armour tanks, big capacitors and lasers excellent combination of damage and range make Amarr ships popular for PvP.
| + | 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. |
| | | |
− | * Note, however, that the E-Uni starting PvP roles of [[Tackling 101 Guide|tackler]] and [[EWar 101 Guide|EWAR]] can be difficult for new Amarr pilots as Amarr ships don't excel at these roles with low SP. Amarr frigates have very few mid slots and the Punisher is quite slow while the Executioner is very fragile. The Amarr EWAR is Tracking Disruption (TD) and, although it is extremely useful in certain circumstances, it has no effect on ships that do not use turrets to do damage.
| + | 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). |
| | | |
| + | 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. |
| | | |
− | In PvE, Amarr ships are more restricted when running [[Missions|missions]]. Due to the ability of lasers to only do Thermal and EM damage many of the rats become more difficult to combat then they would be otherwise. Within Amarr space, against Blood Raider and Sansha NPC factions, Amarr ships remain extremely effective but have a difficult time with other factions. This is a concern for some Eve University pilots who want to try missioning close to home, as the University is based in Minmatar space where Angel NPCs are more common.
| + | For salvaging, a {{sh|Coercer}} makes a very good, cheap salvager. |
| | | |
| + | 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. |
| | | |
− | Amarr ships tend to stick to the formula of lots of armour for defense and lots of lasers for damage, and there are fewer 'exceptions to the rule' than there are in the other races' lineups. Because of this Amarr are sometimes thought to be, from one point of view, the 'simplest' race to fly. Breaking the mould may be more restrictive and less rewarding than it is when flying other races' ships; the opportunities are there but they are more skill intensive and require greater sacrifices. New pilots are best served by playing to the Amarr formula until they know when and how to break the rules.
| + | '''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 {{sh|Punisher}} fitted with projectile turrets is a classic), but they are more skill intensive and often require cross-training. |
| | | |
− | Cross training into or out of Amarr can be more skill intensive than other cross training. The most viable prospect is Gallente (armour tanking, gunnery and drone synergies) with Minmatar second (some gunnery and armour tanking synergies). Caldari have the fewest skills in common, despite some Khanid missile ships at the Amarr Tech 2 level, and usually requires the most retraining.
| + | 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. |

− | =Amarr Core Skills= | + | == Skills == |
| | | |
− | The [[Skills and Learning|skills]] which are important to Amarr characters are the same skills which are crucial to any pilot who wants to maximize turret weapon damage, survive with an armour tank, and use drones effectively, backed up by solid support and fitting skills. Here are the primary skills associated with this goal together with the specific emphasis for Amarr pilots if applicable for each of the skill categories:
| + | 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. |

| |
| | | |
| + | 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. |
| | | |
− | [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Item_Database:Skills:Drones Drones] | + | 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. |
| | | |
− | The drone skills core to Amarr success are generally the same as those any pilot will want.

| + | 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. |

| + | 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. |
| | | |
| | | |
− | [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Item_Database:Skills:Learning Learning]
| + | 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. |

− | Navigation is another category that is not particularly more applicable to Amarr pilots than those of other races. Note however, that some help reduce capacitor usage and accordingly have the second order effect of making more available for other purposes.

| + | === Battleships === |
| + | {{Ship|Abaddon|box}} |
| + | 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. |
| | | |
− | ==Skill Plans==
| |
| | | |
− | So what do these core skills mean? If you went through them one by one and maxed them all out (except where noted), without any implants, learning skills first, it would take you 1165 days 16 hours and change as a brand new Amarr pilot. Yes, that is a little over 3 years. Yes, you would be the king of Amarr T1 pilots. Yes, it would be very very silly. However, if this is your first kick at the cat and you have no idea where to start you will not be wrong to start training ANY of the skills on this list and a well rounded Amarr pilot will end up with some degree of all of them over an average career.
| + | {{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. |

− | ===[[Full T2 Tank|Tech 2 Tank]]===
| + | {{Ship|Armageddon|box}} |
| + | 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. |
| | | |
− | ===Tech 2 Energy Turrets===
| + | {{Ship|Bestower|box}} |
| + | 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. |
| | | |
− | Here are the skills and prerequisites you will need to utilise a Tech 2 Energy Turret - because that means more pew pew!
| + | {{Ship|Sigil|box}} |
| + | 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. |
| | | |
− | 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:

− | *Beam Lasers
| + | 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. |

| |
| | | |
− | =Rookie Ship=
| + | 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. |
− | <br>
| |
| | | |
− | ==Impairor==
| + | All four races' drones are viable in PvE and you should select drones that deal the damage type which your target NPCs are weakest. |
| | | |
− | {{Ship Intro|shipname=impairor|shipinfo=''Special Ability: 10% bonus to energy turret capacitor use per skill level.''}}
| + | 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. |
− | This is perhaps the worst of any of the starting ships, but it doesn't really matter. It will easily do everything it needs to do with its civilian modules and completing the Military Tutorial as soon as possible will hand you several better platforms. It does, however, have room for a single drone in the drone bay and it looks fantastic.
| |
| | | |
− | <br>
| + | 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". |
− | <br>
| |
| | | |
− | =[[Frigate]]=
| + | 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. |

− | This is the speedy frigate with the highest base velocity of the Amarr T1 frigates at 404 m/s. It also has high maneuverability and accordingly can cruise around and align very quickly if required. Its primary limitation is the 2 High, 2 Mid, and 2 Low slots (2/2/2), giving pilots little room for different modules. For just driving around fast, practicing skills that will come into play later on as an interceptor pilot, or system hopping as quickly as possible the Executioner is a great choice. It is even feasible as a quick transport for small quantities of goods.
| + | {{ShipGuideLinks}} |
| | | |
− | Despite its very low price, it is rarely chosen over the Punisher for either PvP or PvE, because of its fragile nature and lack of slots. Some people do use it as an alpha tackler set up with a microwarp drive and warp disruptor, using the high speed to get the first point into play, but it lacks the potential tank of the Punisher and so is less common.

− | Thank goodness it is good looking as this is where a brand new Amarr pilot will spend the majority of his or her time.
| |
− | | |
− | This is easily the most survivable and tenacious of the T1 frigates available. Due to decent shield and 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. It has 4 high (3 turret), 2 mid, 4 low slots (4/2/4). The Punisher's 3 turrets give it very good dps, but its slot layout prevents it from fitting the tackling trinity; a speed module, a point, and a web. It has the largest capacitor of a T1 frigate in order to keep its lasers firing, and it can even be fitted with projectile turrets instead of lasers to allow the large capacitor to be re-purposed for armour repairers.

− | *Note: The named lasers are there due having lower CPU requirements like the Membrane in low slot. The named energy vampire/NOS is to help out with eventual cap issues. If your skills are up to it you could substitute if for something else, a Salvager I for example. The cap recharger is a relatively low-priced one, though you should fit the best you can/want to afford. Same goes for the small armor repper. Remember to fit a type of plating according to the rats you will face! you might still have some issues with Gurista rats, but that requires a totally different approach anyway. The AB you will need to get in your preferred range, which is partly depending on the "ammo" you use. this setup can be quite easily upgraded with better skills.

| |
− | 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.
| |
− | | |
− | 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.
| |
− | | |
− | 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.

| |
− | | |
− | The Arbitrator is more versatile than most Amarr ships, as it can be armor-tanked or shield-tanked at the pilot's whim, and has bonuses to both drones and tracking disruption. 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 and use the high slots for more utility.
| |
− | | |
− | For missions, 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.
| |
− | | |
− | 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.
| |
− | | |
− | The Arbitrator 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 agro 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 is not terribly maneuverable.
| |
− | | |
− | Lastly, the Arbitrator is the Amarr mining cruiser.

− | *Peacetime only option: 3 x Medium Trimark Armor Pump I
| |
− | *This is a very basic fitting, you can (and should) upgrade it as soon as you´re able to.
| |
− | *In fleet engagements you should be far away from the enemy and fight aligned. Then warp to the nearest celestial as soon as you´re taking damage. Warp back immediately at your Tracking Disruptor´s optimals and re-engage. Your drones and TDs are your main weapons. The Nos/Neut in the high slots are only used if you´re accidentally getting too close to the enemy, or if you´re fighting smaller ships. You could also fit 2 Autocannons in the high slots to shoot nearby enemy drones, or small armor remote repair to rep drones after the fight. The Warp Disruptor can be dropped if you´re expecting a big fight and you have enough tacklers in your fleet. In this case, fitting a third TD or a Remote Sensor Booster can be a good idea. The Vespa EC-600s can be a life saver if you´re tackled and you need to escape quickly.

− | {{Ship Intro|shipname=Augoror|shipinfo=''Special Ability: 10% bonus to armor hitpoints per level. 10% bonus to capacitor need of energy transfer arrays per level. 500% bonus to range of energy transfer arrays.''}}
| |
− | | |
− | 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.

| |
− | | |
− | The Omen has the highest damage potential of any Amarr cruiser, but suffers from powergrid limitations, making it difficult to fit everything you want on the Omen. Because it relies on turrets for dps, the Omen is the most common starting PvE Amarr cruiser, though once a pilot has Drones IV or V, the Arbitrator is probably a more effective choice.
| |
− | | |
− | As with most Amarr ships, it has capacitor problems.

− | {{Ship Intro|shipname=Maller|shipinfo=''Special Ability: 10% bonus to Medium Energy Turret capacitor use per level and 5% bonus to all Armor Resistances per level.''}}
| |
− | | |
− | The Maller's armor 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 many people fit projectile turrets on the Maller instead, much as autocannosn are fit on the Punisher.
| |
− | | |
− | 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.
| |
− | | |
− | For PvP, the Maller is uncommon but has a few niche uses. It can serve as excellent bait with a very large tank, or be setup as a frigate-killing ship, using a solid tank and frigate-sized guns (particularly projectiles).

− | | |
− | ''99% reduction in the CPU need of Warfare Link modules.''}}
| |
− | | |
− | 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 anemic damage output with fewer turrets than the Harby, and no damage bonus. If you encounter one in a pvp setting, it's probably bait for a larger fleet waiting around the corner.
| |
− | | |
− | The Prophecy does have a niche use, however - it can 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. This is probably less effective than a Harbinger fit for missions (or, potentially, a Harbinger using projectiles), but one of the few good uses for the ship.

− | | |
− | ''99% reduction in the CPU need of Warfare Link modules.''}}
| |
− | | |
− | The Harbinger is an excellent battlecruiser. It has high damage at good ranges, is relatively maneuverable for an Amarr ship, and even comes with a utility high slot.
| |
− | | |
− | 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.
| |
− | | |
− | The seven high slots are typically completely full of lasers, with the utility high fit with either salvagers, remote repair, drone link augmentors, probe launchers, or tractor beams. Capacitor warfare mods are options for pvp, but the harbinger rarely has enough grid for them. Four mid-slots give the harbinger just enough room for pvp mods, though it lacks a lot of room for utility modules. The harbinger has a large number of low-slots, letting it fit hefty armor tanks or plenty of damage modules.
| |
− | | |
− | There are niche pvp fits using shield tanks, but most harbingers are armor-tanked.

| |
− | | |
− | 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 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. Lastly, it is the only Amarr battleship that can field a full flight of heavy drones or sentries.
| |
− | | |
− | The Armageddon is less popular for PvE use than either the Apoc or Armageddon for various reasons, not least of which is that it only has 7 guns, rather than 8.

| |
− | | |
− | The Apocalypse has both a range bonus and laser cap use bonus, not 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.
| |
− | | |
− | 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)
| |
− | | |
− | 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.

− | {{Ship Intro|shipname=Abaddon|shipinfo=''Special Ability: 5% bonus to Large Energy Turret damage and 5% armor resistance per level.''}}
| |
− | | |
− | The 'Golden Brick' is a beast. It has a laser damage bonus and 8 turret slots, and a substantial armor resistance bonus. As such, the Abaddon can deal lots of damage with a huge buffer tank, if properly set up. The downside, of course, is the capacitor. The tendency to fit big guns, use short-range, high-damage, cap-intensive ammo, plus possible armor reppers/microwarpdrives, 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.
| |
− | | |
− | 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.
| |
− | | |
− | Abaddons are reasonable PvE alternatives to the Apocalypse, effectively coming with a free Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane, 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 'Baddon, but it has a higher damage potential than the apoc at some range bands.

− | This industrial only requires [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Amarr_Industrial Amarr Industrial] trained to 1 to fly and accordingly it is very accessible to new pilots. It is one of the fastest industrial haulers and has 5 low slots which can take advantage of this through fitting to 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 at all because of this rather favouring speed or just extra cargo space.
| |
− | | |
− | Most pilots prefer the Bestower instead; if a cargo is large enough to require an industrial rather than frigate or cruiser, then it is probably big enough to require a proper industrial rather than an inertia stabilizer-fitted Sigil. If you're fitting expanded cargoholds on the Sigil, you should really think hard about why you're using it instead of the Bestower.

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.
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 Redeemer and the widely-feared Curse and 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 Vengeance, Malediction, Heretic, Sacrilege, and 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 Coercer for Level 1 missions, the Omen or Arbitrator for L2s, the Harbinger for L3s, and finally the 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 Dragoon, Arbitrator, Prophecy, and 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 Coercer makes a very good, cheap salvager.
Amarr ships are also highly popular with armour incursion fleets, especially the Paladin and Legion. While not technically an Amarrian ship, the 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 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 Armageddon, Apocalypse, and 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
