Edited by: Kalidann on 04/12/2006 06:25:29 Edited by: Kalidann on 04/12/2006 06:25:11 So, having flown Caldari my entire noob existance, I've decided I don't really like the missile combat system...
While I could switch to rails, I decided against that as well, as I don't like the look of caldari ships in general (except the Rokh, that thing is sexy).
So I was wondering how Amarr ships are, I know they are not the most popular with everyone, but I saw the new BC today and I almost wet myself. Anyone that flies an Amarr Cruiser/BC/BS want to speak about their ships?
I think I know how to skill for them, I just want to hear how they fly/handle. And 1v1 is not real important as I have a thorax alt that tags along with me wherever =)

The new Amarr BC and BS are nice, their tech 2 ships are nice... everything else lacks behind awfully because of the lack of damage the race can do without extra bonus's etc. Thats just my opinion, i'm sure someone else here will disagree with me shortly :p

I'm in love with the Harbinger/Geddon/Abbadon. Remember, children. Double webs. I tried to fight a shark with a pistol underwater once, and I'll be damned if he didn't laugh at me and eat me. Sharks need a ******* nerf. True story.

Whats funny is amarr all complain now because they want to PVP.
But in honesty, they all trained for amarr so they can fly the apoc with 8 lasers.

I fly a vengeance and it is amazing. Never runs low on Cap, can fit shield tank or armor tank or PvP setup. Whatever you want it can do.

Alot of people whine about amarr, these people havent heard about Cap injectors and nosferatu and wanto run a double tank with a full laser fitting and mwd, these people are the same people that put civillian shield tanks on ravens and go to rat in low sec with myself in local.
Amarr are -great-.
They have serious cap issues and some ships do have utterly **** tracking, but every race has its disadvantages, and if you're willing to work on the bad things..well my harbinger tore 17k shields off a ferox in seconds that ship makes me wet myself, i'm spending a few hundred mill on my new pilgrim, just because I love it and wanto baby it!

Edited by: Zin Rathbone on 04/12/2006 15:38:16 Amarr ships in general are laser gunship with hard tanks and not much flash/complications. Lasers are medium range weapons, not the snipers that rails or nor the insane point blank dammage of blasters, but good dps at medium range.
The Punisher is the toughest t1 frig in the game, and the Maller is its cruiser counterpart, although both are middle of the road for dammage output. The new Harbinger battlecruiser rocks, the Armageddon BS is a good PvP gank platform and the Apoc has an insane sustainable tank for missions. The recon cruisers are considered among the best in the game, and the Arbitrator is a very affordable drone cruiser for a change of pace and a good pvp boat.
Amarr are weak in the electronic warfare department due to a lack of midslots, and dont do very well solo in pvp. If your a team player or you want a pve ship they are certainly competitive. The inability to change dammge type with the guns is a drawback, but your guns will no longer need ammo, which i absolitly love. Im currently flying a Harbinger, have flown both Battleships, and will soon have the Assault frigs available as well, and Im havning fun. I have skills with both Caldari and Galentee ships (altough not as extensive) but I keep coming back to Amarr.
Just be sure to get your mechanic skills up, as Amarr ships are universally armor tanked.

Thanks for all the input, I've decided to go ahead and train for the big yellow ships, as they look fun and deadly =)

I really enjoy being Amarr myself. The main reason I chose it when I first got into EVE was just because of the lasers. :p
Yes, being Amarr does have its issues in PvP, but I've come to accept that the ships are very much meant to be used in a fleet setting.

I'm a wierdo, too. I started Caldari, got to the Raven fast because I knew it was *the* L4 mission runner, and I pvp almost exclusively in Amarr ships (typically the Arbitrator and AFs). The only tech2 ships I can currently fly are the Amarr AFs and Interceptors. The Vengence, IMO, is a great tackler. I have minimal weapons on it, potentially to kill drones while I'm tackling, and it can run the scrambler, webber, and mwd almost forever. Turn off the mwd, of course, for close orbits and it can sustain tackling forever including firing 2x lasers and a rocket launcher. I've brought along a Prophecy once or twice to add some firepower to a gang, too. PvE, I fly the Raven almost exclusively (because I run L4s) but when I help out corp-mates and the like, I'll drag out just about anything tech1 Caldar/Amarr/Gallente, depending on what we're fighting and what I feel like flying).
One side note: I never pvp alone if I can help it (I've been caught when traveling to get to the gang I was going to be in, once, for example). I wouldn't pvp solo, anyway, as I prefer to roam about in a small gang (two to four people usually, sometimes we've actually 'had a mission' where we had as many as 18). I would imagine that if you pvp alone (or prefer to), then Amarr probably aren't the ships you want to fly. Some of them are great for it but other races have more selection to probably fit your style of solo pvp better.
I am currently headed for HAC/recon, but I think I will eventually (within 3 months) get into Gallente AFs for pvp as well (tackling + drones seems like it would be pretty fun).

Vengeance has three mids. I fail to see how you can shield tank it effectively in PvP.
