Crucifier Navy Issue
Reason: Frostline
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES

As YC117 came to a close, the Imperial Navy found itself facing the most significant series of crises in over seven years. The loss of Empress Jamyl Sarum to the hostile and enigmatic Drifter fleet followed by further Drifter incursions into the Empire left the Navy stretched thin and barely able to keep up with the demands of defending the throne worlds. In response to these challenges, the Empire has turned to their Capsuleer allies for support in their time of need. 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.

Tactics
The reason is: evaluate this new ship
- Choose your targets carefully; if you are fitted with a tracking disruptor target ships that utilize turrets such as Amarr or most Minmatar frigates (excluding the [Breacher|Breacher]). If fitted with a guidance disruptor target missile boats such as Caldari frigates (excluding the [Merlin|Merlin]).
