==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 PvP, the Omen is usually armor tank fit with either a 1600 mm plate and medium pulse lasers or 400 mm plate and a full rack of heavy pulse lasers. With its 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, but really excels at skirmishing range (20 - 30 km). The Omen also makes an excellent L2 / L3 security mission boat.


In general, Mallers are more suitable for armor doctrine fleets because of the Maller's bonus to Armor resists.  
In general, the [[Maller]] is used for brawling range combat instead of the Omen because of its greatly superior tank. The [[Omen Navy Issue]] is superior to the Omen for skirmishing, but its price is significantly greater, often making it a primary target in fights.  


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.
