Ships & Modules

what are you using it for? If its pvp then you will lose it at some point , if its for pve then look what rats you are fighting and tank your ship accordingly.

If you are missioning then you also might want to consider using http://eve-survival.org to see how much of a tank you need and what to shoot in what order.

Piloting 101, rule no. 1: Don't fly what you can't afford to lose. Your comment suggests you're not ready to sit into a battleship at all, much less a navy one.

I can give you a fit, but you'll take it out, get it blown up and blame me, even though it's your skills that are not up to par. Here's what I suggest: train all your capacitor skills to 4 and make sure you can use armor T2 and weapon support modules T2 (Heat Sink II and Tracking Computer II), drones T2 as well. Then come back and ask again and I promise, you won't regret it.

Seriously, fly something smaller (and cheaper) while you train up the skills to fly a battleship, not just the ones required to sit in one. Smaller ships will also give you experience in fitting (no, you do not want plates, hardeners and reppers)

If you can't afford to replace that ship, you shouldn't be flying it, especially with skills as low as yours will be. You should be able to fit a full T2 tank before you consider flying a battleship, especially a navy one. Amarr ships need very good capacitor skills. You need good gunnery support skills. You need drone skills.

As a prestige ship which is never going to be in dangerous situations (but wants to survive if it does) your fitting considerations are different from those required by other applications...

You won't need significant highs - any old laser will do, though in some cases it's best to use larger lasers so that you don't accidentally find yourself tracking your own drones and blowing them up on Jitacam. Some will suggest that all of the guns are the same, so that your rainbow is as coordinated as possible, others will suggest mixing them all the way from high ROF frigate pulse to Tachys so that you get the most variable spray possible. YMMV.

Your lows will be tank, all of them... Hardeners for Explosive, Kinetic and Thermal, an EANM and Damage Control for resists and then either a single 1600mm plate, Large Rep and Large AAR or (preferably) a pair of 1600mm plates and the AAR. They should provide you enough tank to hold off assault until you can get clear or dock unless you're dealing with quite specific attempts to suicide you. They won't proect you from everything however.

The mids are fairly free, you will want an MWD, both to cut your time to warp and to make avoiding continuous bumps more viable. You will probably also want a Large Cap Booster - though maybe it's overkill...


Or perhaps I'm taking the Prestige ship thing too literally...
