I like the idea of an Augy Poc. 50% extra armor will be a nice buffer.. you could allmost call it a "passive" tank  .

8/4/8
10% cap use decrease
10% optimal range per lvl
That's what the Amarr navy need most. Amarr battleships have a hard time keeping their place in long-range engagments, and the sheer cost of t2 cristals prevent them to be a viable option.

1. The Amarr philosophy is more medium range engagement than long range. Caldari are the only ones with a strict long range philosophy. As such it will not happen.
2a. The T2 ammo (aside from being in grave need of being removed as they are currently) cost a lot for lasers because they are produced in batches of 3 (approx. 3000 rounds) compared to other ammunition's production of 5000 rounds per batch.
2b. For some reason, I've noticed that T2 crystals are sold at slightly higher price compared to other T2 ammo (i.e. one batch T2 crystals are sold at higher profit margin than one batch other ammo is sold at)
My personal favorite for Amarrian so far is:
High 8 (8T #L)
Mid 4
Low 8
-10% capacitor capacity on large energy weapons
+10% armour hit points
~21,000 Powergrid (+1,500 over Apoc)
~525 CPU (+25 over Apoc)
~7500 armour hit points (+1,500 over Apoc)
~5000 capacitor capacity (+200 over level 0 Apoc)
:- Slightly bigger, slightly more armour, etc, than Apoc. Over all, this should take the place of a fleet combat Amarrian ship where the Apocalypse will remain the ship of choice for agent missions and hunting trips due to better sustained fire-and-tank capability.
New sig coming soonÖ

Primary Ship Bonus
------------------
10% capacitor reduction to Large Energy Turrets per lvl
If it's really a drone boat I sure hope they don't put the cap reduction bonus. Afterall they also left it out on the arbitrator (drone dmg/hp and tracking disrupters).
My favourite is still a tracking disruptor optimal bonus coupled with either a drone bonus or 5% resists per level.

Yes and no. For medium ranges they already have Pulses Lasers. Beams are there to fill a hole in their capacities, to allow them to compete in long range engaments. But long range is evolving, and beams have a hard time to keep up, while tachyons eat so much powergrid that you must half-gimp your ship to use them.

There's a grave unbalance, but it's not that one. The problem is that a Megathron or Temspest user can buy a thousand rounds of T2 ammos, and that's enough for quite a few fleet battles. Arma and Apoc users, however, have to buy 7-8 Lenses, and that's seven or eight thousands worth of equivalent rounds. Even if they could, no sane Mega or Tempest user would bring along 7-8k T2 rounds in a fleet fight, so why should Amarr users?
It would be easy to solve it, by reducing the cristal lifetime by a factor of 10 or 20, and increasing the number built per batch by the same ratio.

Supply and demand. Laser users that want to be more than spectators in fleet fights HAVE to buy T2 ammos, and buy 7-8 lenses each time. Since T2 cristals sell faster, the producers are upping their margin progressively.
The result of it all, is that, right now, Amarr users have to pay about 10-15 times as much money than anyone else to follow the evolution of warfare.

Khanid design.
4 turrets, 4 missiles. 5% EM missile damage, 10% less cap on lasers.
Shield tank with 6 med slots.
Id like that

And the rest of us would hate you.
Split 50/50 weapons with only 1 weapon bonus per system suck without exception. This would only result in more uber whineage where all amarrian characters would be forced to spam the threads until Tux's eyes bleed and the rest of the CCP staff beat him with his own nerf bat until he relents and fixes it.
50/50 Khanid designs blow chunks. Don't let the Typhoon happen to the Amarrians! We already have a Battleship with a bonus to ~capacitor~. Isn't that enough suffering? I still wish the Apoc bonus was changed to 5% resists per lvl.
