Crucifier
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES

The Crucifier was first designed as an explorer/scout, but the current version employs the electronic equipment originally intended for scientific studies for more offensive purposes. The Crucifier's electronic and computer systems take up a large portion of the internal space leaving limited room for cargo or traditional weaponry. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Crucifier is the Amarr standard EWAR frigate, with bonuses to tracking disruption effectiveness. Like the Vigil and target painters, the stacking penalties of tracking disruptors make having several of these ships in a fleet ineffective. Due to the ships inherent fragility, small capacitor and the large optimal range of tracking disruptors that allow the ship to operate from a far, pilots may be best using long range beam lasers or small artillery turrets, though for an EWAR frigate DPS isn't of great concern.

Tactics
Optimal is >110k even with low skills.
Uses meta4 TDs, and cheapish meta 2-3 in other slots, but has the CPU open to downgrade if you want to go even cheaper (at the expense of range).
Drones to taste, on the understanding that if you are ever in drone range of more than one hostile ship, you are dead (I would carry armour rep drones if I could). Guns likewise basically irrelevant.
Your only tank is range. Don't even wait for them to yellowbox - bounce if your position feels a bit dubious.
Works very well to counter the many snipers who like to sit at 100km - three damps stacked, with pretty low skills, will reduce optimal range to 5% of its starting value.
