Andreask14 Alterum - Infinitus - Fabula Dragons Of Oceans	Posted - 2008.01.18 17:19:00 - [61] Edited by: Andreask14 on 18/01/2008 17:20:51 \o/ hello new page I like amarr because i crosstrained gallente. Gallente does everything better on the cruiser level, and most things on the BS and Frig level. The Thorax is COMPLETELY overpowered (does way more DPS than an omen) and the vexor is WAY better than an arby (i mean, TWO turrets on the arby LAWL). Lets not even start about the useless TDs, the nerfed NOS and the horribly boned tracking on pulse lasers. The Mega is a capstable (!) sniper with a tank (!) while only doing like 20% less damage than an apoc, having the same range. The apoc runs inevitbaly out of cap in 6 minutes, because you need 3 lows for fitting mods for highest tier guns on it. Ridiculous. Gotta hate the proph for having the least dps of all t1 BCs also. I have amarr BS level 5 though, scince their capitals are decent.

Setana Manoro Gallente Firefly Inc.	Posted - 2008.01.18 17:41:00 - [63] Originally by: Teantis So I'm pretty new to the game but I see alot of people on the forums complaining about Amarr ships: laser problems, cap problems, the NOS being nerfed etc., but clearly people still fly it. I'm currently trained up for an interceptor and shooting for a Curse. I want to know why people do like Amarr. It's awesome to kill people in what is regarded as a crap race. On the other hand, most ppl that complain should play the game more, and learn to adapt, amarr were meant to be a tough race. In truth, Amarr should be buffed a bit, even the devs have stated this on numerous ocasions, but not all ppl fit uber stuff, or have skills at level 5, or are knowledgeble about tactics and fits, like the forum trollers would like you to believe. There is nothing sweater than killing your opponent while you lament in local about how under-powered you are. :)

Liet Traep Minmatar D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.01.19 00:58:00 - [67] In some ways the best Amarr ships are the khanid variants. Curse, Sacrilege, Malediction. The khanid ships have more mid slots and more flexibility. Standard Amarr ships are more like the Absolution, Zealot and Crusader. Great armor tanks, good resistances, lots of laser damage. But they lack midslots and their weapons systems are vulnerable to tracking disruptors and nos/neuts. When everything is going right and it's a simple matter of firing back and forth then the standard amarr ships shine. When you need to hammer someone down an absolution or harbinger is the hammer you need. A little more flexibility and a curse might just be your thing. Amarr ships have their uses. And right now they're not FOTM. So if you kill someone in an amarr ship you get style points!! [green]Please resize image to a maximum of 400 x 120, not exceeding 24000 bytes, ty.

Marcus TheMartin Gallente Tuxedo.	Posted - 2008.01.19 01:23:00 - [68] Never primaried
Taraniis MAFIA	Posted - 2008.01.19 02:04:00 - [69] Originally by: SexehGallente Basically what all these ammarians are doing is denying the facts because they know their ships are crap, yet they will not or cannot face the fact how much time they've put into training time yet they still are subpar at best. Thus they believe they like amarr for untrue and impractical reasons. It's sad. really... Yeah, my Sacrilege that can blast through a Myrmydon, two Drakes and a Brutix whilst having all its resists above 84% sucks. I have no idea why I fly it at all to be honest, a complete waste of isk and money. Suppose I'll just have to use my Abaddon that can obliterate Hyperions and Megas without breaking a sweat. Pilgrim that can shut down an Astarte anyone? On second thoughts, don't touch Amarr ships, they are completely useless and you will never actually use them. Ever. Honest. A Gallente FNA pilot told me so
Sakhr Otaktay Amarr The Funkalistic SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2008.01.19 02:22:00 - [70] Uhm.. im just waiting untill ccp realizes what they have done to amarr and buff,buff, buff :D ------ Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!

VJ Maverick Caldari Maverick Specialized Services	Posted - 2008.01.19 03:44:00 - [71] I started flying Amarr after the Khanid II changes. I absolutely love the rocket Malediction. The ship is pure seks on wheels. BUT, why is the BEST Amarr ship, the Sacrilege, also the ugliest? It's really a shame. Originally by: Bodhisattvas by the way you keep on missing the "a" from pwn, do you need any help with its placement?
Taraniis MAFIA	Posted - 2008.01.20 11:35:00 - [72] Edited by: Taraniis on 20/01/2008 11:35:50 It balances itself out see, if you get blown up by an ugly ship in a really horrible way people wont complain as they then have to explain how a really ugly ship just beat them. If you get ripped to bits by something really sexy like a Vindicator then immediately 17 different "zOmg Vindi pwns! Boost Amarr" threads get made. Although tbh the Zealot could do a bit more damage (not too much, just make that extra high a turret mount) and the T1 cruisers need a looking at as they are really hard to fit out.
Jill Antaris	Posted - 2008.01.20 12:00:00 - [73] For Fun and Style. Playing EvE Hard mode is yust so mutch more fun. Also I realy have to say I like Lasers on a personal Level because of the good range with the moderate Tracking. Omen and Prophecy are not that bad they are fun to fly seted up right. Nerf Lasers! Thay need far to less CPU and Grid to Fit. Still using not enught Cap and do far to mutch Damage. O wait... they allready did... =(
Skulls'n'Bones	Posted - 2008.01.20 12:03:00 - [74] It's an internet spaceship game. I want to shoot LAZORS.
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS	Posted - 2008.01.20 12:18:00 - [75] stop saying good stuff about amarr, we wont get that boost that people have been whining for for months awwww 44.5 days to a t2 fit abso, but there are other things to be done first, my t2 fit abaddon is sexier anyways being the one of the first to lock and hit unhardened shields is just such a sexy feeling. hate flying with drakes/ravens, you hit once or twice and then boom huge missile alpha hits, depending on the ship there goes the kill mail the 15km optimal + 10km fall off with short range high damage ammo makes for sexy gate camping. and since your gatecamping your speed doesn't mean much, 4 midslots is fine for scram/sensorbooster/capbooster + something else, fuk microwarp drives!
Dristra Amarr Shadows of the Dead The Dawn of Darkness	Posted - 2008.01.20 13:26:00 - [76] They have good range with pulses, i mostly fly galante and mini really It's great being Amarr isn't it. Support the introduction of Blaze M crystals for Amarr!
Leandro Salazar Aeon Industries	Posted - 2008.01.20 13:42:00 - [77] I like Amarr, because for intelligent and openminded people, Amarr BS are the best mission runners around. Good thing that these people are no more common in EVE than they are in the real world, else I guess Motsu would be somewhere else ;) There is no 'n' in turret There is no 'r' in faction There is no 'a' in Scorpion There is no 'e' in Caldari There is no makeup in rogue drones
Azbuga	Posted - 2008.01.20 14:25:00 - [78] maller - underrated cruiser can get 2 1600 rt plates (with t2 pulse lasers). it gives him about 13k hit points of pure pasive armor :) with resistances about 80% on level 5 skill and hardeners. :) i love it
Azbuga	Posted - 2008.01.20 14:25:00 - [79] i forgot :) small guns
DuLciKa Amarr Dead Man's Click	Posted - 2008.01.20 15:01:00 - [80] NOS Nerfed helped the amarr ships by far more then hurting them, cap problems are due to the fact that the guns are designed to wipe out any shield tank within minutes, espically as we all know the passive drake 1v1 is a beast to take out but an amarrian ship can make it look easy, you gotta love that. They do have the in my point of view best armor tanks in game, nothing better then a good looking ship with huge armor resis and hard to break, also geddon is so sexy, my set up atm just does over 800dps and completely pwns but the abaddon if set up properly can do over a 1000dps. The RoF the geddon can get is ridiculous for large guns. the only problem is you do need alot of skill to fly amarr successfully, so my point of view is that if you get beaten by a amarrian pilot in a ship you believe to be crap obviously you just been beaten by overall a better pilot. People whine about them due to the fact that they can't seem to pilot them that good early into game and give up early. You want to be an amarr pilot you must stay as one until you hit about 15milll sp of good laser and armor skills and you will start to see how good these ships can be

Potes Amarr Dkiller Delta Force Corp. Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2008.01.20 15:52:00 - [82] This has been a good post so far and i agree fully that we amarrians look the coolest! we also have very skill intensive ships and for new players t1 fittings and ships can be hard to use effectively. some ships could do with boosts to make them on par with other races. (paladin is ****e in comparison to other races marauders) perhaps cos Apoc is gimped. However we have had our moments, Geddon (cheap / high dps) Pulse laserzII Tm Absolution (pwnage) Harbinger (slightly less pwnage) Caps, Archon and Rev And Curse / Pilgrim (pre nerf) Arbi of course anything Khanid MK II is officially weak and un amarrian as it requires blasphemous caldari missile skills. besides that the Devoter has a fat tank and the Punisher is the most uber frig ever and always will be. everyone always underestimates the amarrian ;-) Potes
Naomi Wildfire Amarr Stardust Heavy Industries Majesta Empire	Posted - 2008.01.20 16:28:00 - [83] i love to be amarr You just need good skills to make it pwnage. whiners also dont know how to fit amarr ships.
Iasus	Posted - 2008.01.20 18:41:00 - [84] Originally by: Haradgrim People enjoy flying Amarr for the same reason they like being tied up in leather, whipped and called names ...Because it's fun? Ias :P -- Remember: Pillage, then burn
Arya Aiedail Caldari State War Academy	Posted - 2008.01.20 19:10:00 - [85] omigod lasor beams just love beam weps but i wont go in them full just cruiser to get a arbitrator finnal stop for me will be chimera. but that cruiser is drone carrier thingy and it looks sweet. Quote: A indian word of saying: Listen or your own thounge will make you deaf. I advise every one to follow this since it will make your life a lot easier.
Meridius Dex Amarr Foundation R0ADKILL	Posted - 2008.01.20 22:04:00 - [86] Originally by: Andreask14 I like amarr because i crosstrained gallente. Gallente does everything better on the cruiser level, and most things on the BS and Frig level. That's why I crosstrained, as well. I couldn't believe the first time I fitted (and flew) a Myrmidon. Imagine, a cap stable boat that can tank and gank! Originally by: Andreask14 The Thorax is COMPLETELY overpowered (does way more DPS than an omen) and the vexor is WAY better than an arby (i mean, TWO turrets on the arby LAWL). Lets not even start about the useless TDs, the nerfed NOS and the horribly boned tracking on pulse lasers. Agree totally on the Thorax. That boat is sick! Since I'd already cross-trained earlier and now needed a cruiser PvP boat, I went back and checked everything out in the Amarr line. With the exception of the Arbie, everything sucks to fit and is inferior to the Thorax, by a wide margin. Imagine my surprise to find I could actually fit a Thorax WITH LASERS and get better DPS, better speed, better tank and better better cap stability than either an Omen or Maller. That's just.. sad. [Thorax, PvP 259/6/1281/18K] 800mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I Damage Control II Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane I 2x Heat Sink II Y-T8 Overcharged Hydrocarbon I Microwarpdrive X5 Prototype I Engine Enervator J5 Prototype Warp Inhibitor I 5x Focused Anode Pulse Particle Stream I, Multifrequency M Hammerhead I x5 -- And that's 259 points of DPS with just the cheap guns fitted (ofc, drones make the difference). Plus 12-18000 points of effective tank, depending on whether you swap out the plate for a repper. The problem with Amarr, as has been said ad nauseum, is lasers. Many of the boats themselves are either fine or could be improved with minor changes - if only laser cap usage were addressed. And, to answer the OP, I chose Amarr (never having played an MMO before and knowing nothing of how gimped this race was) because the ships were sweet looking and the Amarr seemed like the badass overlords of EVE. Turns out that sound of cheering parades I thought I'd heard were really the sounds of Caldari, Gallente and Minimatar players lulzing at me. -- Meridius Dex -- Amarr = EVE on Hard setting
azure starmyst	Posted - 2008.01.20 23:02:00 - [87] Edited by: azure starmyst on 20/01/2008 23:01:45 Originally by: Kiviar Lets be honest here. One day when I was a wee Eve newbie I flew in to jita or something and saw a BIG GOLDEN PHALIC BATTLESHIP, and instantly I knew that was what I had to fly. QFT
Yarlan Zey	Posted - 2008.01.21 10:03:00 - [88] I like amarr.. but.. I`m not flying any laser boats anymore. After 10.2mill SP wasted in gunnery. I realized that its ways more fun of flying these Khanid versions. the only ships I use from amarr now are. curse sentinel sacrilege ..and I rally enjoy them. There is nothing wrong with the ships.. just devs made kind of grande mistake with the lasers. You saw the devs blog about the ship usage percentages. If amarr ships are at last place by using, then there is kind of problem. doenst matter how shini they are.
Johan Quinn	Posted - 2008.01.21 10:32:00 - [89] I fly Gallente. Im gonna train Amarr, they look cool and lasers give me a reason to turn the sound on :D
Brother Tycho Amarr	Posted - 2008.01.21 10:36:00 - [90] tbh the only reason i havent sold my amarr toon is the Sacralige and Nightmare and there hardly typical of the Amarr lineup one being missile focused and the other shield tanker with the sexy bonuses think about it 4 tachyons with 100% damage bonus its basicly 8 tachyons with 50% cap reduction 2 two other usefull bonuses. -------------------------------------------- All the girls say im pretty fly for Ni-Kunni.
