The Retribution is an homage to the glory days of the Empire, informed by classical Amarrian design philosophy: if it's strong, sturdy and packs a punch, it's ready for action. What this powerhouse lacks in speed and maneuverability it more than makes up for with its wide range of firepower possibilities and superb defensive ability. Developer: Carthum Conglomerate Carthum ships are the very embodiment of the Amarrian warfare philosophy. Possessing sturdy armor and advanced weapon system they provide a nice mix of offense and defense.

Summary

This damage dealing Assault Frigate is a DPS monster within the frigate class. It is a popular PvE frigate. With optimal fitting and navigation skills this assault frigate has the ability to be top damage on KMs next to cruisers. Its low sig radius and its multiple low slots allow it to be fitted for multiple roles: high gank no tank; bait ship; heavy tackle; or self repping solo PvP frigate. Its main drawback is its lack of mid slots, limiting its ability to tackle enemies.

If you intend to use this ship for prolonged PVE activities such as combat site running, be aware that the Retribution has a very limited cargo bay. Plus the fact that the advanced combat crystals (T2 crystals) have an expectant life of around 1000 shots before shattering, some of that precious cargo space is shared by spare sets of combat crystals, further limiting its ability to perform deep space operations.

Skills

Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Retribution for a specific or its common role(s) can be written here.

Tactics

Though it possesses only two mid slots, the Retribution may be used in a multitude of fittings and roles. Not only is it effective for PvE, it can be highly effective for PvP. Fitting skills are a must for this ship. You can fit an armor repairer in its lows, a heat sink, and some armor tank. With Small Energy Light Pulse Lasers II in the highs, it can maintain significant DPS while allowing it to self rep at the same time. This ship is great for fleets as heavy tackle. Also, consider using Conflagration crystals rather than Imperial Navy Multifrequency in the ship's turrets to take advantage of the tracking bonus. Finally, fitting this ship is difficult so using EFT is highly recommended before buying modules.

Patch History

A long, long time ago...

October 2019 Release - 2019-10-30.1 - "Howling Interceptors" Update The maximum velocity attribute has been decreased by 10% for all Assault Frigates Max Velocity reduced from 300 m/s to 275 m/s (-25 m/s, 8.3% reduction) July 2018 Release - 2018-07-10 Max Velocity reduced from 328 m/s to 300 m/s (-28 m/s) February Balance Update - 29.01.18 We are giving Assault Frigates a substantial balance pass. Every AF is getting a speed boost in the form of increased max velocity and lowered mass. Every AF is also getting base capacitor numbers increased by approximately 30%. Also, we have more significant changes for the Ishkur, Retribution, and Jaguar. All Assault Frigates: +18% max velocity -10% mass +30% capacitor Capacity Retribution: New Assault Frigate bonus per skill level: 5% bonus to Small Energy Turret rate of fire (was 7.5% bonus to Small Energy Turret tracking speed) Power grid increased to 62 (was 56)

Notes

This can be quite a difficult ship to fit and fly, however when done well it is deadly. Its large mass makes keeping targets in optimum range difficult. Fitting a Microwarpdrive is a necessity. The addition of an extra Mid slot allows the Retribution to fit a web as well, which is very useful when fighting fast frigates. However without good fitting skills, it is hard to fit effectively with both a Microwarpdrive and Stasis Webifier.

• The February Assault Frigate balance update introduced a new module for HACs and AFs, the Assault Damage Controls, which can replace the Damage Control module for these ships
