Recently, I've been thinking about making an Amarr character and going with that culture/race. But it seems everyone says Amarr ships are horrible and to not bother. What makes them so terrible? |

Hearsay is for idiots, form your own conclusions.
Amarr ships certainly have their uses.

Like any other race of ships, some of the Amarr ships are crap, and some are excellent.

I fly all race types, each has their good points and not, do what you want, when you do what others say you are removing your own ability to choose for yourself. |

What makes them so terrible? Lasers used to be too good, now in most cases they are down the bottom of the pile, as reflected by combat stats for years now. Certain ships have kept them from looking as bad as they are on EVE Kill though, but the CCP stats show lasers under-performing. There is also the three way weapon system split they have going on between Lasers, Drones & Missiles.
So yea, you'll find the odd gem, and some good niche ships, but on the whole they've been left to languish because of historical fear of lasers becoming OP again. |

Sounds like a lot of RP'ers picking sides for RP sake. Maybe they dislike their cultural ways of thinking in terms of lore. Or maybe they just hate the color gold; who knows at this point. It could be anything, even a ridiculous reason possibly.

Ignore the heretics.
Lasers rule.
We also have the coolest looking ships.
Also cool skins =ƒÖâ

They can be a bit slow and are very cap intensive, but also very tanky and carry lots of drones.
Just as capable as other races, but in the kiting meta not as popular as faster alternatives.

What makes them so terrible? It is because lazerz are damage locked to EM and thermal only. You have to rely on all damage types if you are flying an Amarr ship that has missiles. They are also mostly locked into armor tanking but there are exceptions.
Personally, I love Amarr ships because I think they are the best looking ones and I am Minmatar. I went Amarr though when I was in wormholes because T1 ammo crystals do not break and is great in keeping ammo costs down while doing the pewpew on Sleepers.
As long as you run mission/rat/anomalies in Amarr space, you are golden. If you leave Amarr space, pick another ship to fly.
This would cure me of the fear...

+1'd, Lol'd, and there is a 82.4% chance I lost some coffee onto a server rack.
But on topic: Fly what you want, as has been mentioned, there are good ships, there are bad. But honestly, good and bad is just a matter of opinion. Fly everything once, some things you'll never want to fly again, but if you don't try, you don't know! |

eh i say gallente are horrible cause you either have long range railguns with crap tracking or super short range blaster with meh tracking plus they ugly! (other than Nyx)
Amarr lasers are epic. though their cruiser and battlecruisers could use some more.....slender designs like Armageddon and Abbadon. or confessor.
now excuse me while i go back to throwing rotten fruit at gallente prune ships |

@OP, DON"T listen to these heretics and heathens! They will lead you astray and try to brainwash you in not trying to be Amarrian!
Amarr ships in my experience have been really nice to fly and yet they are a bit skill intensive especially on cap skills. Sheild and armor skills are for the most part I think are really up there especially if you train them all to lvl 5. The lasers do have a tendency to not target especially at close range in which then my drones will finish off the rats.
There are some short comings but in all they are as a couple said some of the best looking ships around (Golden Fleet).
Give the Amarrian race a try, you'll at least can experience first hand for yourself, and don't let these heretics and heathens tell you otherwise. |

All races get their round of crap. Many years ago caldari was known by another nickname. Faildari. Recall vividly showing up on roams in a drake and being asked do I have anything thing better to bring. Then some other person jumped on comms saying dude he's caldari (what the combat char is), the answer is no lol. Back in those days amarr on the positive side. Preferred fleet BS for most needs, harbs flew in abundance with canes as the fotm BC roam fleet comp.

Different people will talk **** about all the races. Amarr tend to be harder to fit and fly thanks to cap issues and lasers often require decent piloting to get the most out of some of their better ships. They're currently not FOTM, while a few of the other races have some pretty clear winners such as RLML caracals, afk ratting VNIs, and TFIs being a go-to AT pick.
Just like everything else in eve they have their niches. |

they are some of the best armor tankers out there and done right can fit full out heavy guns, also hardeners work well with Amar ships problem is they don't move fast so they need better after burner bonuses. |
