Originally by: Sheriff Jones Amarr rather favors teamwork, this much is true, but in capable hands and nice fit, solo is possible.
Like the AFs we have, retribution is pewpew extreme, no question, but try fitting it for solo action and you get a mobile turret that catches a guy once in a full moon.
The other option is vengeance, a ship that needs some missile skills but if you have those in place, you can get a decent "hunter". Though you have to poick your targets with that one.
We are, by general, lacking in the middle-department, which ofcourse comes directly from the basic "shield=middle slot ship, armor=low slot ship" design.
In general i'd love to sacrifice(no pun) a few things from our ships for an extra middle slot, the retribution and coercer coming to mind at first.
In short, yes, we're lacking in solo-gank ships, but even with one other friend, we become a rather nice force to be reckoned with
thank u for first good reply i agree we are good in group but we NEED too have good solo ships too and we never get them so solo playstyle for amar is impossible unless u only figt noobs
Question is, how long can you specialize before you know it all for the kind of ship and race you prefer? Once you have perfect skills for say recons, hacs, command ships or whatever boat really, the training to get to an alternate faction os often very little. You're right for less than 20-30mil sp, but beyond that point there's really no reason not to crosttrain. Faction ships make this even more true.
Punisher, Pilgrim, Curse, Geddon, Harbinger, Absolution, Arbitrator, Sentinel etc are all excellent soloships. Things have gotten way better over the last few years. The main issue with amarr and minmatar is their skillpoint requirements. For newbies, this is a major issue indeed, but for slightly older ones, they both have excellent ships.
I'd actually go as far as to say Amarr have the widest array of decent soloships as is now, followed by gallente, minmatar and finally caldari. All-in-all, solopvp is hard to come by, but Amarr does have the potential. |
