  1. As the title says, which of the 4 faction's JF do you fly and why?
  2. Do you opt for more tank, more cargo or more agility?
  3. Which implant set do you use?


Thanks for sharing.

Armor Ark with Slaves is obviously best.

Nomad.
Why?
It's the only one I have.

After the warp sooper-dooper change I stopped training freighter at level 2. So none of them.

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!

The Rhea with a full set of Midgrade Nomads, a 5% agility hardwiring, and 5% hull hitpoints implant. I fit based on what I need to haul, but 99% of the time it's three reinforced bulkheads.

Fit 3x deadspace ANPs and its even better - and its beautiful.

Next 'best' is the Anshar, same as above, Slaves and ANPs.

Forget the shield tankers, CCP decided they should be gankable with no actual benefits.

One of my characters flies a Providence because...

- High Grade Slave Implants + armor resistances that are more even + reinforced bulkheads = crying gankers.

- Next to the Nomad, it is the least funky looking Freighter out there.

- It looks like something from Star Wars.

Why am I not surprised that you need Slaves to get the best out of Amarr ships?

As surprised as I am that CCP didn't note how badly it positioned the shield tanked JFs by introducing low slots for gankproofing.

At least you have the option to use implants to help yourself. Try using the equivalent for shield...
