=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:

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 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.

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.
