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.
Tracking disruptors work by reducing the optimal, falloff, and tracking speed of the target. You can load scripts into them, giving them twice the effectiveness against either (optimal and falloff) OR tracking speed, but losing the other effect entirely. With Amarr frigates at V, a single Meta 4 or Tech II tracking disruptor on a Crucifier will reduce the tracking speed or the (optimal and falloff ranges) of any turret-using ship you point it at by 66%. While this can cripple virtually any ship using turrets as their primary weapon, it's completely useless against missile and drone ships (like the Raven, Dominix, Myrmidon, Drake, et ceteras), cap warfare, other electronic warfare and logi ships, so choose your targets carefully.

- Up-meta the modules for increased effectiveness. This fit also works if you upgrade all modules to their T2 variants. Avoid drone boats and missile boats, but you should be able to take on turret-based frigates, and even some cruisers. Generally try to orbit close with tracking speed disruption script loaded and afterburner on, which avoids most incoming turret damage, even from small turrets. If the ship is brawler-fit, you may need to consider keeping range and using optimal range disruption. Warning: this ship is very vulnerable to neuting!
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.
Notes
This vessel qualifies for the University Ship Replacement Program, PYOS, and BYOM.
