The Magnate is the Amarr Tech 1 exploration and scanning frigate. It is a good ship for rookies or veterans who are getting into probing and don't have the skills for the T2 version, the [[Anathema]]. Its bonus to cycle time for hacking, archaeology, and salvaging modules means it can be very effective for looting exploration sites as well. However, as an exploration vessel, the Magnate suffers in comparison to the other racial exploration frigates due to only having 3 mid slots, which limits the modules it can fit for exploring relic and data sites.

The Magnate does have the advantage of the strongest tank of any Tech I explorer, and plenty of low slots to reinforce this tank.

This Magnate-class frigate is one of the most decoratively designed ship classes in the Amarr Empire, considered to be a pet project for a small, elite group of royal ship engineers for over a decade. The frigate's design has gone through several stages over the past decade, and new models of the Magnate appear every few years. The most recent versions of this ship – the Silver Magnate and the Gold Magnate – debuted as rewards in the Amarr Championships in YC105, though the original Magnate design is still a popular choice among Amarr pilots.

Summary

The Magnate is the Amarr Exploration Frigate. Like all Tech I exploration frigates, the Magnate receives skill-dependent bonuses to scanner probe strength. The Magnate excels at probing cosmic signatures in all security levels of space. The Magnate also receives a role bonus (independent of pilot skill level) to relic and data analyzer virus strength, which helps the Magnate pilot crack exploration sites. With these two bonuses, the Magnate is a strong starter frigate for Amarr pilots interested in Exploration. And while Magnate pilots eventually skill into Tech II Covert Ops exploration ships (like the Anathema), there isn’t much exploration content that the Magnate can’t complete.

The Magnate has just three mid slots—the fewest of any exploration frigate—to fit exploration and propulsion modules. These slots are typically filled with a microwarpdrive and a data and relic analyzer, leaving no room for the scanning upgrade arrays that other racial exploration frigates can fit. This is not a critical failing, and a Magnate pilot can compensate with scanning rigs or improved Astrometrics skills. (There are single modules that do both data and relic analysis and that would make room, but they aren’t worth the decrease in performance and/or increased cost.) The Magnate does have the advantage of the strongest tank of any Tech I explorer, and plenty of low slots to reinforce this tank. But it’s not a great advantage, because nearly any tackled explorer is a dead explorer, and so the low slots are better fit with inertial stabilizers and/or a warp stabilizer for faster escapes. (Keep in mind that warp stabilizers reduce lock range and speed. Having more than one makes locking sites uncomfortably slow.)

The Magnate has the largest cargo capacity of any Tech I frigate. This makes the Magnate a speedy freight courier and distribution mission runner. By fitting the ship with expanded cargohold modules and cargohold optimization rigs, it is possible to build a Magnate that can carry just over 1600 m3 of cargo. Or, by exchanging some of these for warp stabs, to build a low-sec courier that can evade insta-pointing gate camps.

  • Prototype Cloaking Device I is a cheaper alternative to Improved Cloaking Device II but reduces speed while cloaked.
  • Remove Hornet EC-300 and the cloak for Alpha clone pilot
  • Hornet EC-300 needs the most training but is only needed when in hostile space
  • Low slots can be modified to pilot preference:
  • Inertial Stabilizer provide increased maneuverability at the expense of reducing time to be locked
  • Nanofiber Internal Structure provide increased maneuverability and speed at the expense of reduced structure hitpoints
  • Can swap in Overdrive Injector for increased speed at the expense of cargo capacity
  • Can swap in Warp Core Stabilizer to negate warp disruption/scrambler effects at the expense of shorter targeting range and longer lock times
  • Can swap in Expanded Cargohold for increased cargo capacity at the expense of speed and reduced structure hitpoints

NOTES
  • You can swap Scan Acquisition Array I for Scan Rangefinding Array I for more scan strength (at the cost of scan speed)
  • Sister's Expanded Probe Launcher can be used for additional scan strength but is an expensive module for hero/suicide tackle
  • To avoid jumping into the fray take a command position in fleet, toggle "exempt from fleet warp", then warp squad/fleet to the signature scanned down
  • Switch one rig to Small Gravity Capacitor Upgrade II and replace the other with Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II to keep similar scan strength and increase warp speed to reach the target faster (+1.25 AU/s)


Tactics

While not designed for combat, one can still combat fit an exploration frigate to catch unsuspected lone gankers off guard. When fitting for combat, as other races' exploration frigates, the Magnate has a severe shortage of power grid while having a huge CPU reservoir. Plus the ship has no bonus to guns or missiles, it is best to fit missile or rockets to save on power grid for prop and repper. The large CPU left over can then be used to fit a range of damage, resist or ewar mods.
