Meanwhile, what's wrong with the Nidhoggur? It just looks like it's not as tanky as the other carriers, but looks like it does a pretty good job of logistics whereas the Thanatos brings the pain and the Archon and Chimera take the hits.

I really don't have any experience with capships, but don't really see why the Nidhoggur isn't an option here, especially if you might use it for fleets as well. I know the question is really about Amarr vs. Gallente capships, but I'm just curious.

The Naglfar just looks like it suffers because it can only fit two guns, and capship missiles suck. Maybe it'll get four guns one day (he said hopefully)?

Nidhoggur is good for subcap fleet triage support and POS repping. It does have fitting issues when trying to fit both an active local tank and remote reppers (shield or armor), but most capital fleets nowadays spider-tank anyway, so it's not that big an big issue. It has two big weaknesses. The first is its rather lackluster capacitor; it's very vulnerable to neut pressure, and can have difficulty even in regular triage if forced to run remote reps and tank simultaneously. The second is its very nice bonus to repair amount combined with rather weak tank -- it will be the first carrier primaried on the field. That being said, it's a very solid carrier if properly used.

Naglfar is considered bad because of split weapons, and because capital missiles are awful at hitting subcaps.
