Amarr pilots should eventually acquire T2 gunnery skills, though this is often done after having stepped into a battleship.

===Progression===

A classic progression of Amarr ships would be to train for the Punisher, move to the Omen, skill up a Harbinger, and then move into battleships. This is certainly an effective way to go and puts the most emphasis on hard hitting lasers and hefty armour tanks. Unfortunately the Omen is a bit of a weak link in the chain as it is very difficult to fly well without high skills. But for minimum deviation straight to large ship excellence this can work.

Alternatives exist however. If the pilot wants to focus on EWAR, then laser skills can be replaced with drone skills and the path can go from Crucifier to Arbitrator as a stepping off point for Tech 2 EWAR ships (Sentinel, Curse and Pilgrim). Or for the truly different the Inquisitor leads to the Khanid line of Tech 2 short range missile ships (Vengeance and Sacrilege for damage together with other support ships like the Malediction or Heretic).

===Cross Training===

Line 79:

However, the main benefit of cross training is to get more options for ship and fitting selection and being able to conform to fleet doctrine in both PvE (wormholes, incursions) and PvP. Thus, cross training into minmatar or caldari often gives the most benefit, to expand on ship selections capable of shield tanking. Cross training to Minmatar will give access to Blood Raider pirate faction ships. Cross training to Caldari will give access to Sansha ships. While cross training to Gallente will not give any access to pirate ships.
