The Amarr Empire is one of the four playable factions and, like the others, has a distinct line of ships with specific quirks and abilities.

{{RaceShipInfo|Amarr}}

The Amarr lineup is characterized by the following:

* Large Capacitors. Amarrian pilots rely heavily on their capacitors; lasers are heavy on the capacitor to such a degree that many Amarrian hulls have a bonus that decreases capacitor usage of Energy turrets. Thus Amarrian hulls tend to have larger capacitors than the hulls of the other empires and many Amarrian pilots prioritize capacitor skills.

* Lack of Speed. Amarrian ships tend to have lower than average base speeds, fit armour plates which further reduce their base speed and agility, and often use low slots for tank or damage rather than speed modules.  At the cost of tanking potential (or damage), a typical Amarrian hull's numerous low slots can be used to achieve a great deal of speed if desired.

Amarrian ships are more restricted when running [[Missions|missions]] than the other races. Within Amarr space, against the Blood Raiders and Sansha's Nation factions, Amarrian ships are probably the most effective of all (as is typical with the other empires). However, lasers only do Thermal and Electromagnetic damage, so other factions are more difficult to combat than would be the case for pilots from the other empires fighting in Amarrian space. This is a concern for some Eve University pilots who want to try missioning close to home, as the University is based in Gallente space where Serpentis are the common faction but there are effective solutions, such as the [[Arbitrator]] (which relies on drones and could carry another empire's drones with proper training) or using alternative turret weapons systems (such as a [[Punisher]] with projectile turrets).  A classic progression of Amarr mission ships would be to train the Punisher and [[Coercer]] for level 1 missions, move to the [[Omen]] or Arbitrator for level 2 missions, then [[Harbinger]] for level 3 missions, and finally the [[Apocalypse]] for level 4 missions.  

Amarr ships are also highly popular with armour [[Incursions|incursion]] fleets, especially the [[Paladin]] and [[Legion]]. While not technically an Amarrian ship, the [[Nightmare]] is one of the most sought after ships for shield incursion fleets and uses energy turrets, so is a natural progression for an Amarr pilot.

Exceptional tanks, large capacitors and a combination of good damage and range make Amarrian ships a firm favourite in armour fleets, though fits with shield tanks or alternate weapon systems also see some use.  Most notably, the AHAC, Hellcat and Foxcat fleet doctrines are centered around Amarr ships.  

EWAR specialists will follow a different path from the [[Crucifier]] into [[Arbitrator]]s before moving into T2 ship training.

Amarr pilots should eventually acquire T2 energy weapon skills, though this is often done after having stepped into a battleship, or earlier in their career for dedicated PvPers.

One may also want to check out the certificates system within Eve. It serves as a handy reference for if you want to train for a specific task or role. Note that completing a certificate does not give any boosts or bonuses, they are (for now) merely suggestions. They may be accessed in-game on your character sheet, in the "Certificates" tab of the "Skills" section.

Later once pirate faction ships become a consideration, cross training to Minmatar will give access to Blood Raider pirate faction ships.  Cross training to Caldari will give access to Sansha ships. Cross training to Gallente will give access to Sisters of EVE ships.

Here are the Amarr T1 ships.  Please follow the links to the specific pages of the ship database for more details and particular fits.

{{Ship|Punisher|box}}

Along with the Executioner, the Punisher is a popular E-UNI tackler for new Amarr pilots. However, it does not excel at this role due to the limited mid slots, low base velocity, and mediocre scan resolution.

{{Ship|Tormentor|box}}

While lacking the resistance bonus of the Punisher, or the speed of the Executioner, the Tormentor makes a good middle ground; four low slots allow for a good armor tank, and the three medium slots allow for better tackling than the Punisher.
