The Omen is a stereotypical example of the Amarrian School of thinking when it comes to ship design: thick armor and hard hitting lasers. Advancements in heat dissipation allow the Omen to fire its lasers faster than other ships without this technology. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Omen is the Amarr Attack Cruiser, offering bonuses for Medium Energy Turret capacitor use and rate of fire. With 6 low slots and 3 mids, the Omen is a natural armor tanker. At the Retribution update, the Omen received a much needed increase to its powergrid, allowing for an armor tank fit with a 1600mm plate and medium pulse lasers or a DPS-oriented fit with 400mm plate and a full rack of heavy pulse lasers. With it's decent tank, an above average drone bandwidth and the ability to swap crystals on the fly, the Omen can adapt to combat at many ranges.
In general, Mallers are more suitable for armor doctrine fleets because of the Maller's bonus to Armor resists.
The Omen will benefit greatly from drone and navigation skills, on top of gunnery and tanking skills. Although it doesn't have stellar DPS, it has good damage application, making the Omen a good balance of tank, speed and firepower.

- Meta 3 and 4 focused pulse lasers are usually too expensive to take on a PvP boat.
- Training up T2 Pulse lasers opens up the use of Scorch M, which can make the Omen a fantastic long range damage dealer.
- Start with a longer range crystal equipped, so you can start applying DPS immediately as you burn towards the target. Once you get within scram/web range, switch to Multifrequency for extra DPS.
- On almost all roams, you won't need additional reloads of the faction crystals. If the crystals are near empty, bring a set of T1 crystals to use just in case.
