Amarr Basic Ship and Skill Overview: Difference between revisions

|info=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.

The Executioner is the Amarr fast frigate, although only having two mid slots makes it unloved for tackling in PvP despite its speed and high scan resolution. It can serve as a level 1 mission runner until Amarr Frigate III is trained for the Punisher and Destroyers I for the Coercer. For tackling, the Punisher is used more often since they have the same number of mid slots, but the punisher can fit a sturdier tank.

The Inquisitor is the only Amarr T1 ship with missile bonuses. It is also the only Amarr T1 frigate that can fit 4 weapons in its high slots with its 3 launcher and 1 turret hardpoints. The Inquisitor is somewhat underused. Even with good missile skills, it has less than impressive attributes.

Fledgling Amarr miners will want to start here.

The Punisher can serve as a mission runner for new pilots, as well as tackler.<br>

The Amarr [[EWar 101 Guide|EWAR]] frigate. It specializes in [http://www.eve-ivy.com/wiki/index.php?title=EWar_101_Guide#Tracking_Disruption_.28TD.29 Tracking Disruptors] to greatly reduce the effectiveness of enemy turret users. Flown in that role this little ship can cripple an enemy battleship or other turret based damage dealer, and accordingly it can be a great force multiplier in a fleet. EWAR in E-UNI fleets often has a great impact and a short life expectancy.

An excellent frigate to learn the basics of [[Exploration|exploration]] due to its bonuses for [[Scanning & Probing|scanning and probing]]. [[Smurfprime's Probing Guide]] is an excellent resource on how exactly to do this while these pages have information on potential [[Scanning:Scan Results|scanning results]] and [[Exploration combat sites for new players|exploration combat sites]].<br><br>

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.

The Arbitrator is more versatile than most Amarr ships as it has bonuses to both drones and tracking disruption and a flexible slot layout, it is even technically the Amarr mining cruiser. 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 while using the high slots for utility modules. It is even one of the few exceptions which can be functionally shield tanked although this is unlikely for a new Amarr pilot as the required skills will not be trained.

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 some remote repair battleship gangs, the Augoror is limited enough that it is rarely used in PvP. Granted, the Augoror can have a tough tank, it's just hard to make that tank useful.

This is one of the least common Amarr ships you will ever see flying around.

The Omen has the highest damage potential of any Amarr cruiser, but suffers from cpu and powergrid limitations, making it difficult to fit.  

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 often a more effective choice.  

In PvP, it fulfills the traditional cruiser fleet damage dealer role. Three mid slots allows at least minimum utility with propulsion and tackle modules.

The Maller's armour 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 it is another candidate to fit projectile turrets on if skills are cross trained, much as autocannons can be used on the Punisher.

The Harbinger is an excellent battlecruiser. It has high damage at good ranges, is relatively maneuverable for an Amarr ship, has a decent drone bay, 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).  

The seven turret slots are typically filled with lasers, and the utility high fit with either drone link augmentor, probe launcher, tractor beam, or energy neutralizer. There are a good number of mid-slots for an Amarr ship, providing room for a MWD/point/web/utility mod (usually a cap booster) in PvP. The harbinger has a large number of low slots, letting it fit hefty armour tanks or plenty of damage modules.

* Pilots with Engineering V and Advanced Weapons Upgrades IV can fit a Medium Energy Neutralizer II in the utility high slot.

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 [[RR battleship fitting|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. It is the only Amarr battleship that can field a full flight of heavy drones or sentries. Lastly, the Armageddon tends to be very tight to fit.

The Apocalypse does not have 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 Abaddon has a laser damage and an armour resistance bonus. As such, the Abaddon can be fit for excellent tank and gank. The downside being the capacitor. The tendency to fit big guns, use short-range, high-damage, cap-intensive ammo, plus possible microwarpdrive or armour reppers, 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 most mission fits.

This industrial is one of the fastest industrial haulers. This is of course a relative statement as it is still very slow, but with 5 low slots you can 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 or cargo extenders at all, either use it for its relative speed or fly a Bestower. This makes it the industrial of choice for relatively small, cheap cargo runs through high-sec.

Arguably the best of the T1 industrials from a skill training time per cargo capacity perspective, the bestower is a favourite for alternate character hauling setups. See [[Creating an Alt Hauler]] for details.
