Amarr Basic Ship and Skill Overview: Difference between revisions

'''The Amarr Basic Ship and Skill Guide''' is intended to give fitting and skill recommendations for Amarr ships in both Player vs. Environment (PVE) and Player vs. Player (PVP) encounters.

#Amarr is the best because it is.  You can't argue with simple truth.

<br>

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:

<br>

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:

Here are the skills and prerequisites you will need to utilise a Tech 2 Armour Tank - something you will want to aspire to if you plan to PvP or Mission as an Amarr pilot.

Here are the skills and prerequisites you will need to utilise a Tech 2 Energy Turret - because that means more pew pew!

{{Ship Intro|shipname=impairor|shipinfo=''Special Ability: 10% bonus to energy turret capacitor use per skill level.''}}

This is the best looking and perhaps the least capable 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 have room for a single drone in the drone bay, all while looking fantastic.

{{Ship Intro|shipname=Executioner|shipinfo=''Special Ability: 10% bonus to Small Energy Turret capacitor use and 5% Small Energy Turret damage per skill level.''}}

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.  

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.  

{{Ship Intro|shipname=Inquisitor|shipinfo=''Special Ability: 10% bonus to EM missile damage and 5% bonus to Explosive, Kinetic and Thermal missile damage per level.''}}

The Amarr missile frigate is the only Amarr T1 ship with missile bonuses. It is also the only Amarr T1 frigate that can fit 4 weapon systems with its 3 launcher and 1 turret hardpoints.

The Inquisitor is somewhat underused, since most new Amarr pilots have poor missile skills. More experienced pilots looking for missile frigates tend to fly [http://www.eve-ivy.com/wiki/index.php?title=Caldari_Basic_Ship_and_Skill_Guide#Frigate Caldari frigates].

{{Ship Intro|shipname=Tormentor|shipinfo=''Special Ability: 5% bonus to cargo capacity and 20% bonus to mining laser yield per level. -60% mining laser capacitor use.''}}

With [[Mining]] bonuses, fledgling Amarr miners will want to start here.  It is actually quite a tough little mining frigate, and has the minimum (5 cubic meter) drone bay.

* This fit is very disposable, which is convenient since the Uni will hand them out to its new Amarr tacklers.

* It focuses on overcoming the Punisher's low speed to get a point into play, breaking one of the general fitting rules of always fit to the bonuses of the hull; however, it is done for a good reason in this case.

''Flying Manual'':  Use this build in a large fleet, like your first time in an E-Uni Blob!  When a target is called or a flashy is spotted, close with the target as quickly as possible using the microwarpdrive while avoiding using the 'approach' command as this flies straight at the enemy and makes you extremely vulnerable to turret weapon damage as your angular velocity will be 0 or close to it.  Lock and get the warp disruptor onto the target as quickly as possible - this is the entire purpose of this build.  Once the point is applied, move into an orbit around the target, disengage the microwarpdrive, and hold on until a heavier tackle can get into range.  When orbitting think about being outside of smart bomb range, but close enough to keep the angular velocity high, and watch for drones sent to destroy you.  The lasers on this build are ONLY there to add a little DPS if possible once someone else has the target locked down.  Do not drain your cap doing negligable damage only have the warp disrupter run out of power allowing the target to escape. If it is a patented E-Uni blob and thirty of your classmates also have point on the doomed enemy then feel free to get some target practice in.
