EVE New Citizens Q&A

Any ship with a warp scram/disruptor on it?

I'd recommend a frigate as they lock the fastest

Ship: frigate for tier 1, interceptor and/or recon for advanced tiers. Can also use any ship you happen to be in, if fit for PVP.

Skills:

To start, the ability to install Warp Disruptor / Warp Scrambler = Propulsion Jamming skill.

You also want speed, so Navigation category to 4, because for tackling it's often critical to catch the guy before he warps.

You then want the support skills Engineering, Electronics, Mechanics fairly high, because you'll be targetted first, and need to maximize your survival chances so you can keep that point on the target and keep it locked until the DPS arrives to kill it. With these support skills, you also gain the ability to use cap boosters, to keep your cap juice going to the warp disruptor if your target tries to energy-neutralize you to break free.

You want the Astrometrics parts of Science so you can probe people down so you can find them to tackle them.

You also want Science/Thermodynamics, and the Mechanics/Nanite skills, because overheating Warp Disruptors increases their range, which means you'll do it often, in order to keep your frigate outside the range of nasty things like smartbombs or webifiers while still keeping the enemy tackled.

This is complete nonsense...

1. Many Amarr ships are great in PvP. They are just as good as any other race.

2. FW maps? Seriously? The most popular ship in the Amarr militia is probably the Thrasher. Yes, the minmatar destroyer. FW doesn't have race restrictions...

To be fair that is because te coercer was broken (1 med slot) and it was improved by this patch, was it improved enough? idk. More advanced marr ships are great for pvp (they don't have a bad t2, t3, capital or even bs) but thier low tier t1 ships always sucked hard. The rebalancing should have fixed many of those, especially travesties like the old omen.

As to the op executioner is a good little tackler and it leads to the slicer and to amarr interceptors, all of which are excellent. After that amarr tackling is limited to the dictor and heavy interdictor and whether you want to go that far depends on where in eve you will play, dictors being 0.0 specific and heavy dictors being mostly 0.0 specific other than tackling super caps in lo sec.

HAHAHA, someone sounds bit upset that Amarr didn't work of for him.


Amarr is still very viable in PvP...Armor HACs, Armor HACs....NavPoc fleets...Triage Archons (RnK style)...want me to continue about GOOD Amarr PvP ships...

FW map has NOTHING too do with if a racial ship is good or bad in PvP....So Amarr are loosing, maybe cause they all fly ****** Gallente ships. Ergo, the map doesn't tell anything about ships, it tells something about the players in both FW sides (size, tactics, fits)

If your going to post in here, post with correct and factual stuff, not some garbage that is your personal opinion. If you can't do that...Get back to GD and be trolled by everybody and their mom for what you post.

Also, forgot to mention interdictors and heavy interdictor cruisers as tacklers, but these are more for low/nullsec use.

This is perhaps the most stupid bit of misinformation I have seen on the newbies forum.

I have only one word for the OP - Tacklemaller.

An ancient design, so old it was built to survive not one but *two* AOE doomsdays, the Maller is a brick that flies, and it now has enough midslots to fit web, scram and MWD. Let some frigate take hold, and with the protection of armour plate, energised plating, more armour plate, damage control and more armour plate you wont ever let go.

This is not strictly true. Amarr ships can be evil in PvP. But historically only in the hands of a well skilled and knowledgeble pilot. So they have never been PvP noobie friendly.

However, things have changed some, an upgrade to the old Coercer looks like it will make it more PvP capable, and the introduction of the new Dragoon class Destroyer, which is a mean ship for it's size, with it's ability to spit out missiles, use lasers and spam drones you have a decent and cheap PvP ship (Well cheap once it's price has dropped out of 'silly town' prices)

Yes, you have to train up a lot of skills to use everything; missiles, beams, drones But to get them to a useable level can be done quite quickly compared to the high end skills needed to get the best out of a more traditional Amarr ship
