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.

| The Magnate is the only Amarr T1 frigate with a 10 cubic meter drone bay allowing 2 light scout drones. It also has a 320 cubic meter cargohold, so it can even be used as a makeshift hauler for new Amarr pilots who lack access to an industrial.

| 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.
| |
| <br><br>
| |
| 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.
| |
| <br><br>
| |
| 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. With very high skill points and once Tech 2 modules can be fitted their are some fun niche roles for the coercer but those are beyond the scope of this guide.

| 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.
| |
| <br><br>
| |
| In PvE, 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.
| |
| <br><br>
| |
| 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.<br><br>
| |
| The Arbitrator's flexibilty 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 aggro 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 it is not terribly maneuverable.

The harbinger has a large number of low slots, letting it fit hefty armour tanks or plenty of damage modules.

| 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 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.

| 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.

| Abaddons are reasonable PvE alternatives to the Apocalypse, 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 Abaddon, but it has a higher damage potential than the apoc at close range.

| 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.

| | T1 industrials 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. |

| 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.

| The Bestower can easily get enough room for a packaged battlecruiser with a few expanded carohold IIs and rigs, and players should not overlook the use of Giant Secure Containers to further expand the internal cargohold. If you are tempted to put a tank on it for fear of suicide gankers you should really consider not hauling that cargo with this ship: either get a friend who can fly something tougher to help or take out a courier contract.
