This is excellent news, and a sure sign that Zulupark is actually going about this the right way.
Before any general amarr changes are made, the extremely poor ships in the amarr lineup need to be brought up to par. This means the propheyc, apocalypse, maller, omen, etc. I don't see how general amarr changes can even be thought of before this elementary step is taken. How can you correctly evaluate Amarr's power and potential when half their lineup is seriously gimped? Any general amarr tweaks won't change that. You'll still have to change these ships and then they may well wind up overpowered if overly sweeping changes are made.
PS ~ CCP if you make me a moderater, I'll happily prowl general forums removing posts that offer insults instead of anything substantive.

Originally by: Xanos Blackpaw we got ships with cap less weps...they are called khanid. those ships are great, its the laser ships we need to fix.
The largest offense Khanid Ship is the Sacrilige. Damnation has low dps. Until we get bigger offensive orientated Khanid ships capless weapons are but a limited option.
Would exchange my alt's remaining testicle for a larger khanid ship.

When Lasers cost 10-250 ISK a shot, with 10 sec reload times, that'll be acceptable.

Nothing you said is justified and it reads more like a wish list. As Prisim X said, its been repeated more times than anyone cares to know. He may like them, but I have a massive aversion to increasing stats when something isn't perceived as being "right". Its like making two mistakes in one.

but CCP should do what they did for minmatar to fix minmatar cap problems.
Give all lasers 100% cap reduction, just like they did with projectiles. End of story. This will give amarr finally a capless pvp system, as all other races have capless pvp ships
Of course, lasers will be reduced to capless weapon DPS to match. You're in favour of that, right?
Of course. Ships like Abaddon would have to have their cap increased to match other capless pvp turret battleships such as mael. DPS would also have to match, so insted of doing an average of 100 dps over a 5 minute period, you do a competitive amount of dps. Sig locked, lack of Eve content |

100% agree.
Curently it takes around 15-20 seconds to reload a 8 tach abaddon, and the average amount people spend on crystals usually works out as an average of 400-1000 isk per shot over the lifetime of the ship. Thanks for agreeing with me. Crystals are the most expensive ammo and decay randomly, so you need to carry a spare set of faction crystals and t2 crystals. I.E 40mil of ammo in your abaddon cargo is typical.
Most amarr players want crystals to be like 1 unit per shot like other race's. I hope ccp do this as t2/faction crystals cost a fortune Sig locked, lack of Eve content |

I ment to say lowered. Also, Hyperion will need its apoc sized cap removed by 20% and abaddon reduced by 5% to be on a par with mael and rokh. Recharge times need to be balanced as well. You did know that CCP gave Hyperion 20% more cap than rokh/mael etc? Sig locked, lack of Eve content |

At this point of waiting for an amarr "Fix" "Boost" or whatever you call it, Any list of ideas is going to look like a Wish List, because quite honestly some of us are giving up hope of getting a glimpse of anything more than a flashlight never mind the light at the end of the tunnel.
Nothing i origionaly posted was unreasonable and nobody can say that it was, because as i mention here
Originally by: Blane Xero (Origional Post) Now, Don't get me wrong, i'm not asking for amarr to go from Zero to Hero, so i'm not asking for all of these changes, or even the way i layed them out, i understand some of the numbers would need to be changed, and that some individual ships (Omen, Zealot, etc) would need changes more ship-specific to them as it is.
But i'll clarify a little. I Am in no way hoping that every single one of the ideas mentioned in my OP makes it live, because that would entirely tip the balance, defeating the point of Re-Balancing amarr in the first place (as it would probably lead to more nerfs, some of which may go too far)
And as to it not being "justified" How can you say that when our lasers can use as much as our tank alone, and that although amarr ships are described as being primitive in the capacitor area of ships, when we simply are not (Except as i mentioned, the apocalypse.)

10 - 250 isk is much how? I can afford to fire 1.6 million @ shots 250 isk each month without getting poorer. So i guess that is a option. It aint cheap to fly amarr if that is what you are trying to point out. Loose more isk in ships due to sucky fittings and capout then it would cost to use hybrid Faction ammo.

Thanks for that info. I think if it was made a bit more clearer that this was a multi-step process and that obsolete amarr ships are going to be looked at, then a lot of the community would be more patient.

Originally by: Jonny JoJo
Then why did CCP change minmatar guns during last minmatar fix to use 0 cap? Surely that makes no sense at all?
Why dont CCP change launchers to use cap?
From a logical perspective, cap use for weapons is obsolete now.
Yes, because no one uses Blasters or Railguns ever.
Gallente have plenty of Combat PVP Capless Droneships of all ship sizes. Caldari have missile ships of all sizes. All minmatar ships use 0 cap for combat. Therefore the argument you mention is obsolete as all races apart from amarr have a Capless pvp ship of all sizes
Oh god, Jonny is here... where to start.
YOUR Arguement is obsolete because there is a difference between Balancing and OverPowering
Minmatar weapons (Artillary) have a very long Rate of Fire, or just generally dont do much damage per hit (Autocannons) Where as amarr all do a rather average DPH with good ROF to boot, so making amarr capless would be somewhat too much.
Plus, give amarr capless weapons and pretty soon you'll see triple rep aux nano rigged abaddons flying around with a godlike tank that would take 2 megathrons to kill it.
Gallente's drones can also be killed, you dont seem to factor in that fitting one smartbomb makes pretty much any realistic amount of drones DPS obsolete after a few blasts...
Caldari shield tank, which while being more cap efficient you lose the ability to fit CPR/cap chargers without seriously gimping your tank and settup.
So, i'm only saying this once, GTFO my thread Jonny.
nope, shield tanking is actually very inneficient compared to armour tanking. actively anyway.

Also: Amarr absolutely need a battleship with a different role than laser gunboat. Aside from the Khanid Apoc, give the regular one a neut bonus and keep the cap amount bonus. Easy change, and we finally get a BS with a different role than 'inexpensive laser battleship' or 'expensive laser battleship' Every other race has multi-role battleships...
