== Summary ==
This damage dealing Assault Frigate is a DPS monster within the frigate class. It is a popular PvE frigate. Furthermore, its tracking bonuses allow for the Conflagration crystal to be used effectively.  With optimal fitting and navigation skills this assault frigate has the ability to be top damage on KMs next to cruisers.  Its low sig radius and its multiple low slots allow it to be fitted for multiple roles.  High gank no tank, bait ship, heavy tackle, and self repping solo PvP frigate. Its main drawback is its lack of mid slots, limiting its ability to tackle enemies.
 
  
If you intend to use this ship for prolonged PVE activities such as combat site running, be aware that the Retribution has a very limited cargo bay. Plus the fact that the advanced combat crystals (T2 crystals) have an expectant life of around 1000 shots before shattering, some of that precious cargo space is shared by spared sets of combat crystals, further limiting its ability to perform deep space operations.
+
The '''Retribution''' is the Amarr laser assault frigate, sibling to the missile-hurling [[Vengeance]]. Two laser DPS bonuses and a range bonus mean that it hits very hard for a frigate-sized hull. It lacks the Vengeance's armor resistance bonus, but it can still mount a significant tank, aided by the Assault Damage Control module if an extraordinary resistance burst is necessary. With many low slots, it can be fitted to maximize damage or armor tank, or even for speed and agility. On the other hand its limited mid slots—one of the 2 available will typically be occupied by a propulsion module—restrict the amount of tackle or utility modules it can carry. It also has a relatively limited cargo hold.
  
==Skills==
+
The Retribution finds use in PvE as a small, tough ship which punches above its weight, for use in sites or types of space where larger ships might be more vulnerable or simply cannot enter. In PvP it is an excellent choice for armor-tanked gangs of small ships, especially when supported by remote armor repair [[logistics]] ships such as the [[Deacon]], and it can also be flown solo.

Like any Tech 2 ship, the Retribution benefits from strong [[support skills]] and [[fitting skills]]. Armor tanking skills and energy turret skills are particularly relevant, and the ship really deserves Tech 2 turrets.

== Tactics ==
The Retribution while only having two mid slots allows for it to be used in a multitude of fittings and roles.  Not only is it effective for PvE, it can be highly effective for PvP.  Fitting skills are a must for this ship.  You can fit a single armor repper in its lows, a heat sink, and some armor tank.  With Small Energy Light Pulse Lasers II in the highs, Meta 4 Nosferatu.  It can maintain significant DPS while allowing it to self rep at the same time.  This ship is great for fleets as a heavy tackle.  Also, highly reccomend not loading Imperial Navy Multifrequency in the ships turrets.  Instead use the Conflaguration crystals because of the ships tracking bonus.  Finally, fitting this ship up is difficult so highly reccomend using EFT before buying modules.
 
  
==Notes==
+
In PvE combat, the Retribution normally fits a local active armor tank. An afterburner helps the ship tank damage; a dual-propulsion fit with both an afterburner and a MWD imposes a penalty on the capacitor but can finish sites rapidly by switching between tanking and MWD movement around wrecks, gates &c.
This can be quite a difficult ship to fly and fit, however when done well it is deadly. Its large mass make keeping targets in optimum range difficult, however within this bracket the dps is deadly, having a Microwarpdrive is a neccessity. The addition of an extra Mid slot allows the retribution to also fit a stasis web which is very useful when fitting fast frigates, however without good fitting skills it is hard to fit effectivly with both a Microwarpdrive and Stasis Webifier.
 
  
{{ShipsMatrix}}
+
For gang PvP with logistics support, the Retribution needs a moderate armor buffer and strong resistances. Unable to fit all three of propulsion, point/scram, and web, it must rely on fleetmates for help with controlling the enemy, but it will deliver strong DPS. If operating without logistics support, a Retribution can fit local armor repair (usually ancillary) or pure buffer and resists. If flying solo against other small ships, it is also possible to fit nanofiber internal structures in some of the low slots for a surprisingly fast kiting ship. Again, only two mid slots means that the Retribution can never fit full control modules, but when kiting the ship's range bonus for lasers synergizes well with Tech 2 Scorch crystals, which can boost small lasers' optimal range out beyond 15 km with good skills.

RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES

The Retribution is an homage to the glory days of the Empire, informed by classical Amarrian design philosophy: if it's strong, sturdy and packs a punch, it's ready for action. What this powerhouse lacks in speed and maneuverability it more than makes up for with its wide range of firepower possibilities and superb defensive ability.

Developer: Carthum Conglomerate

Carthum ships are the very embodiment of the Amarrian warfare philosophy. Possessing sturdy armor and advanced weapon system they provide a nice mix of offense and defense.

SHIP BONUSES

Amarr Frigate bonuses (per skill level):
10% reduction in Small Energy Turret activation cost
5% bonus to Small Energy Turret rate of fire
Assault Frigates bonuses (per skill level):
10% bonus to Small Energy Turret optimal range
5% bonus to Small Energy Turret damage
Role Bonus:
50% reduction in Microwarpdrive signature radius penalty

Summary

The Retribution is the Amarr laser assault frigate, sibling to the missile-hurling Vengeance. Two laser DPS bonuses and a range bonus mean that it hits very hard for a frigate-sized hull. It lacks the Vengeance's armor resistance bonus, but it can still mount a significant tank, aided by the Assault Damage Control module if an extraordinary resistance burst is necessary. With many low slots, it can be fitted to maximize damage or armor tank, or even for speed and agility. On the other hand its limited mid slots—one of the 2 available will typically be occupied by a propulsion module—restrict the amount of tackle or utility modules it can carry. It also has a relatively limited cargo hold.

The Retribution finds use in PvE as a small, tough ship which punches above its weight, for use in sites or types of space where larger ships might be more vulnerable or simply cannot enter. In PvP it is an excellent choice for armor-tanked gangs of small ships, especially when supported by remote armor repair logistics ships such as the Deacon, and it can also be flown solo.

Skills

Like any Tech 2 ship, the Retribution benefits from strong support skills and fitting skills. Armor tanking skills and energy turret skills are particularly relevant, and the ship really deserves Tech 2 turrets.

Tactics

In PvE combat, the Retribution normally fits a local active armor tank. An afterburner helps the ship tank damage; a dual-propulsion fit with both an afterburner and a MWD imposes a penalty on the capacitor but can finish sites rapidly by switching between tanking and MWD movement around wrecks, gates &c.

For gang PvP with logistics support, the Retribution needs a moderate armor buffer and strong resistances. Unable to fit all three of propulsion, point/scram, and web, it must rely on fleetmates for help with controlling the enemy, but it will deliver strong DPS. If operating without logistics support, a Retribution can fit local armor repair (usually ancillary) or pure buffer and resists. If flying solo against other small ships, it is also possible to fit nanofiber internal structures in some of the low slots for a surprisingly fast kiting ship. Again, only two mid slots means that the Retribution can never fit full control modules, but when kiting the ship's range bonus for lasers synergizes well with Tech 2 Scorch crystals, which can boost small lasers' optimal range out beyond 15 km with good skills.
