Omen Navy Issue
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES
|
The Omen Navy Issue was originally conceived as a multipurpose search and rescue vessel with strong combat capabilities. In response to the increasing need for ships capable of countering frigate swarms, its designers additionally included a drone bay intended to give the ship a greater range of options when faced with mixed enemy squadrons. The end result is a somewhat more flexible offering than Amarr design philosophy generally dictates, but don't be fooled: this crusher still packs all the punch one would expect from a ship of the golden fleet.

. It is quite tanky and capable of putting out high DPS for a cruiser at the same time. It can run L2 and L3 missions well, but it is quite expensive for this purpose.
Post Odyssey:
The Navy Omen will be changed to be even more similar to the Zealot, with essentially the same effective bonuses. It will lose a turret slot and gain drone bay and bandwidth. In addition, it will be receiving a nerf to tank, but higher mobility. Everything factored in, with T2 Hammerheads it will do just slightly lower dps than a Zealot with a bit better mobility, but noticeably lower tank. Will be a strong projection platform in T1 cruiser fleets, with arguably the best turret based projection of any non-pirate T1 cruiser.

Fitting

Tactics
- These ships work best in a larger fleets or as support for Zealots. For solo or small gang work, a normal Omen or Maller is probably a better choice
- In a T1 armor cruiser fleet, you are going to be the primary ranged damage dealer, with great dps projection at range relative to other T1 armor cruisers.
- As a support ship to an armor HAC fleet, your job will depend on the situation. Most situations it would be a good idea to put your guns on the primary target while letting your drones take out enemy drones or other small ships. You may be called to use your guns and drones on small ships to get tackle off, or even put drones on primary and guns on small ships.
- The mid slots are relatively flexible, however a damp is a solid choice as in numbers you can severely hamper the abilities of enemy logi or ewar. If they are at range, use a range dampening script to force them closer. If they start close or have been forced to move in close, swap to scan resolution script to maximize the amount of time you have to burn down a target before reps apply, or until they can move their ewar to a different fleetmate.
- Also consider a cap booster if using hardeners.
