Basic Ship and Skill Overviews -- Amarr | Caldari | Gallente | Minmatar | ORE | Pirate

Amarr General Information

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.

The Amarr lineup is characterized by the following:

• Armour tanking. Amarrian ships have high base armour and several ships have direct bonuses to armour resistances (Tech 1 examples: Punisher, Maller, Prophecy, and Abaddon). Armour tanks can be extremely powerful in both PvP and PvE applications.

• Energy turrets. These are the standard for the majority of Amarrian damage dealing vessels in the same way that Gallente and Caldari tend to use Hybrid turrets (although Caldari make greater use of missiles) while the Minmatar make extensive use of Projectile turrets. Energy turrets (more usually 'lasers') offer an excellent combination of range, tracking and damage when compared with projectile or hybrid turrets. Frequency crystals, the Energy ammo type, can be changed instantly and Tech 1 crystals are unlimited ammunition as they do not degrade like Faction or Advanced Tech 2 variants. Unfotunately this all comes at a price; there is no variation on damage types and Energy turrets use a great deal of capacitor as well as tending to be quite demanding on a hull's powergrid for fitting.

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

• Drones. Amarrian hulls have some of the best drone using hulls outside of the Gallentean hull line-up, including the only hulls with drone bonuses that are not Gallentean.

• 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 then 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.

• Electronic Warfare. The primary form of Amarrian electronic warfare is Tracking Disruption, which reduces the optimal range, falloff and tracking speed of turrets fitted to the target. Tracking disruption is fairly difficult to counter but limited in application as it affects only turrets. The secondary form is Capacitor Warfare but bonuses to this are only found on Tech 2 hulls, which are beyond the scope of this guide.

Skills

The skills which are important to Amarr characters are the same skills which are crucial to every pilot who wants to use the same basic systems. There is already good information on Basic Skills and Support Skills elsewhere. So if you want maximize turret weapon damage you will train the same gunnery support skills as other projectile or hybrid users (but pay particular attention to Controlled Bursts and Sharpshooter). Similarly the skills are the same for all pilots who want to survive with an armour tank, or use drones effectively, and all of this backed up by solid support and fitting skills (prioritize the capacitor skills such as Energy Systems Operation and Energy Management). Amarr pilots should aim for a full T2 armour tank early in their careers.

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.

PvE

Amarrian ships are more restricted when running 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 Minmatari space where Angels 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. For salvaging, the Coercer can fill the role until the Noctis can be purchased. For Wormholes, the Harbinger can run C1 and C2 combat sites, although it may have trouble with either range or tracking due to the variety of sleeper hulls that can orbit either close or far. Like the other turret-based BCs, the Harbinger does much better in fleets than solo for wormholes; whereas the Drake can solo more effectively with heavy missiles. C3 wormholes can also be done in a Harbinger with a fleet of sufficient size. For Incursions, the Harbinger is the first T1 ship that can run Vanguard sites effectively, and the Abaddon can be used by more experienced players.

PvP

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. Amarr ships are less common in PvP fleet doctrines than Minmatar ships, but they are still very widely used. Most notably, the AHAC and Hellcat fleet doctrines are centered around Amarr ships.

At the basic level Amarr ships tend to stick to the formula of lots of armour for defence and lots of lasers for damage with fewer 'exceptions to the rule' than in other races' line-ups. As a result Amarrians are sometimes said to be the simplest race to fly. There are some good candidates for 'breaking the mould' even for a new player (Punisher fitted with Autocannon turrets is a classic) but they are more skill intensive and often require cross-training. New pilots are likely best served by playing to the Amarrian formula until they know when and how to break the rules.

For PvP progression, there are countless possibilities, but the conventional roles are as follows. In frigate hulls, the Punisher is used for tackling, and the Crucifier for EW. In cruiser hulls, the Omen is very difficult to fit for damage dealing, so the Arbitrator is most often used for a mixed EW and DD role with tracking disruptors, neuts, and damage drones. In battlecruiser hulls, the Harbinger makes an excellent damage dealer. In battleship hulls, the Armageddon, Apocalypse, and Abaddon all have their uses. The Armageddon is used by pilots that do not wish to risk too much ISK with a short range pulse fit. The Apocalypse is used as a sniper (sometimes with a very weak tank to maximize damage potential). The Abaddon is used by those who can afford it, and it performs excellently in fleets with logi and tackling recon support.

Cross Training

Cross training into or out of Amarr can be quite skill intensive. The easiest prospect is probably Gallente (armour tanking, gunnery and drone synergies) with Minmatar second (some gunnery and armour tanking synergies). Caldari have the fewest skills in common, despite Khanid missile ships at the Amarr Tech 2 level, and could require the most retraining.

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 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.

Rookie Ship

The rookie ship is the first ship you start with. If you are Amarr, it will be a Impairor. A new rookie ship is given whenever you dock at a station where you do not have any ships.

The Executioner was designed specially to counter the small, fast raider frigates of the Minmatar Republic; thus it is different from most Amarr ships in favoring speed over defenses. With the Executioner, the Amarrians have expanded their tactical capabilities on the battlefield.

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.

In the Amarr Empire, this led to the redesign and redeployment of the Inquisitor. The Inquisitor was originally an example of how the Amarr Imperial Navy modeled their design to counter specific tactics employed by the other empires. After its redesign, it was exclusively devoted to the role of a support frigate, and its formerly renowned missile capabilities gave way to a focus on remote armor repair.

The Inquisitor is the only Amarr T1 ship with missile bonuses. Even with good missile skills, it has less than impressive attributes.

For most of that time it saw service as a mining ship, its size barring it from making any kind of impact on the battlefield. As with most Amarr ships, however, its strong defenses always made it a tough opponent to crack, and with recent advances in turret capacitor use and damage output, its lasers have now stopped digging into dead ore and are instead focused on boring through the hulls of hapless vessels in combat.

Fledgling Amarr miners will want to start here.

As evidenced by its heavy armaments, the Punisher is mainly intended for large-scale military operations, acting in coordination with larger military vessels. With its damage output, however, it is also perfectly capable of punching its way right through unwary opponents.

This is easily the most tenacious of the T1 frigates. Due to excellent armour HP together with the bonus to armour resistances and the 4 low slots, this platform can handle a surprising amount of damage for a T1 frigate. The Punisher's 3 turrets can give it decent dps, but its 2 Mid slots prevent it from fitting the tackling trinity: a propulsion module, a point, and a web.

This the E-UNI tackler for new Amarr pilots, but it does not excel at this role due to the limited mid slots, low base velocity, and mediocre scan resolution.

Both Frigate and Cruiser-class ships were put under the microscope, and in the Amarr Empire the outcome of the re-evaluation process led, among other developments, to a redesign and redeployment of the Augoror. The Augoror-class cruiser is one of the old warhorses of the Amarr Empire, having seen action in both the Jovian War and the Minmatar Rebellion. Like most Amarr vessels, the Augoror depended first and foremost on its resilience and heavy armor to escape unscathed from unfriendly encounters. After its overhaul, it had some of the armor stripped off to make room for equipment allowing it to focus on the armor of other vessels, along with energy transfers.

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, but it's hard to make that tank useful.

It is mainly used for military duty, although a few can be found in the private sector acting as escort ships for very important dispatches.

For PvE, both the Omen and Arbitrator are more common choices, as each can fit a sufficient tank for L2 missions while maintaining a higher damage output than the Maller. Because it's only significant ability is to tank, the only role it can fill in PvP is bait. However, because this is the only role it can fill and it is well known for being used this way, it makes a poor bait ship.

Originally intended as a full-fledged battleship, it was determined after mixed fleet engagements with early prototypes that the Prophecy would be more effective as a slightly smaller, more mobile form of artillery support.

The Prophecy is not a commonly used ship. It certainly can fit a excellent tank for slightly less cost than the Harbinger, but it has a comparatively weak damage output with fewer turrets than the Harbinger, and no damage bonus. Because it's only significant ability is to tank, the only role it can fill in PvP is bait.

As a proof to how reliable this class has been through the years, the Emperor has used an upgraded version of this very same class as transports for the Imperial Treasury. The Bestower has very thick armor and large cargo space.

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.
