==Summary==
==Summary==
The Archon is the Amarr carrier. Formerly in possession of the strongest remote repair abilities of any vessel, the role of the Archon (and carriers in general) has shifted from logistics to mobile long-range damage-dealing in April of 2016. Although it has an extremely durable armor tank thanks to its resistance bonus, the Archon is mostly overlooked in favor of the Thanatos for both PVP and PVE due to its smaller fighter hangar and lower fighter damage, since carriers usually engage well out of weapon range of enemy ships.

In former days the Archon was also used in the "Slowcat" doctrine, similar to the concept of Remote Rep Dominixes or other drone ships like Prophecies or Vexors. This is no longer possible since the base armor hit points repaired by capital armor repairers was cut by nearly a third, among other reasons.

| notes=So what you're doing with this ship depends a lot on how the fit is. Most of the time people seem to run 2 plates in the low slots.</li><li></li><li>Upgrade as you feel worthwhile: T2 FSUs may be worth it. T2 Plates, Imperial Navy EANM, Imperial Navy DDAs, different neutralizer (battleship size sometimes), a cyno in place of one of the FSUs, a T2 smartbomb, it all depends. You can drop one A-Type ANP for an Imperial Navy EANM and run a Meta 0 Drone Navigation Computer to save some ISK.
