Thank goodness it is good looking as this is where a brand new Amarr pilot will spend a lot of his or her time. | Thank goodness it is good looking as this is where a brand new Amarr pilot will spend a lot of his or her time. | ||
This is easily the most survivable and tenacious of the T1 frigates. 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 2 Mid slots prevent it from fitting the [[Tackling 101 Guide|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 or other high capacitor using modules | This is easily the most survivable and tenacious of the T1 frigates.

High SP pilots often mention this ship as their favourite T1 PvP Frigate in the same breath as the infamous Minmatar [http://www.eve-ivy.com/wiki/index.php?title=Minmatar_Basic_Ship_and_Skill_Guide#Rifter Rifter]. | ||
It has by far the largest capacitor of a T1 frigate, 425GJ with no skills, and only the T2 Retribution and a few faction frigates have larger capacitors even outside of the T1 category. This is ostensibly in order to keep its 3 lasers firing, but this is a strength that can be taken advantage of in several ways. The Punisher excels at [[Capacitor Warfare Guide|Capacitor Warfare]] and it can even be fitted with projectile turrets instead of lasers to allow the large capacitor to be re-purposed for armour repairers or other high capacitor using modules. | |||
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. | 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. | ||
