Ships & Modules

My favorite Amarr frigate is the Vengeance. Using rockets it doesn't do as much damage as lot of the other Assault Frigates but it can really take a beating. The 3 mid slots give you a lot more utility than most other amarr frigate options as well. These two factors probably make it the best option if you plan to solo.

Mate, this is what you're looking for:

Start at that post, work your way to the present. While it may be a solo guide, these skills are beneficial to many aspects of pvp. In the later posts of the Punisher Plan the fits become less complete noob fits to much more refined Punisher fits and also the way to use them/the target selection available to you.

Once you are tired of dying a hundred times in a punisher get yourself a slicer.

Anything significantly slower than you will be laughed at as you nano circles around them.

Be careful of anything as fast as you and tracking bonused small arty. (dont engage arty wolf/jag, you will have a bad day)

I have come to the similar situation recently

I was looking for a cheap starter pvp ship and i m only trained in Amarr

Punisher is solid tanked with ok dps. but the problem is it's hard to get things tackled. like other comments said, most ships with a web can disengage at will

if you are flying with fds, punisher is vaible, say frigate gang etc. but if you are flying solo, you might get a lot of bad experience

imo, soloing is heavily dependent on target selection, choosing the right target to engage is the key

punisher will be beaten by almost everything other then t1 frigates.

common t1 frigates are kestrel, merlin, rifter, tristan, incursus. among these possible targets, more then half have the advantage to engage and disengage

so most likely you will see someone engage you and either you die or they realise you cant be beaten and disengage

the most possible way to score a kill is by utilizing their mistakes. say a rifter engage you at a far distance so that you scorch him for a while and come to a close range brawl, and he does not disengage in time

people do make mistakes quite a lot, but depending on it is just unreliable imo :/

crucifier is a vaible starter support ship, but its dmg is pathetic

executioner got a paper thin tank and ok speed, but it cant really kite with the speed

inquisitor need tons of skill to be vaible, but even so its just average

---

so basically, getting a fd to roam with you is the best solution, since amarr ship is designed for large group battle

if you cant get a fd, you might want to fly a punisher and get some field experience. understand the basic concept of eve pvp
then, move to t2 versions. amarr t2 version ship is a powerhouse.

For the Winmatar haters, tell it to the Jaguar I powned in my Coercer. I can out tank them in my Vengeance too....so whatever Weinertar pilots
