I've been struggling with the data bases and can't find it. I need a missile boat with armor buffer tank and should be Cruiser or Battlecruiser class... apparently there's none in EVE but then I'm not an expert.

Any suggestions? Or am I out of luck?

The only armor missile cruiser I'm aware of is the Sacrilege (Amarr HAC), but not sure if it can have a good buffer tank.

Prophecy somewhat fits the bill, though is not bonused for missiles as it is more of a drone boat.
Beastly tank potential though.

I know you want Cruiser/BC but an Armor Raven works surprisingly.


You get so much room for utility it's ridiculous, and about 100ishk (Guessing) tank.


As for the rest, it's all above.

Hey, thank you all for the suggestions! I guess I should had considered the HAC/Command variants. Also THX for the armor Raven, I had heard of them but probably escapes the budget.

The cyclone got a somewhat usable slot layout for an armortank. Cyclone is fairly underwhelming though, the armorfit is no expception.

All these boats also coincidentally can field some of the biggest armor buffers for their class. Sacrilege and Damnation especially. Prophecy too tbh.

Another option is the Gnosis. With the 6/6/6 layout if can both be armour and shield tanked and it can fit 5 missile launchers. Just beware that it needs drones as well to reach its damage potential.
