I feel like you can make the same argument for Minmatar and Caldari ships in the current Gallente meta.

Amarr and the other races have some really excellent overall boats but many more that are good situationally or in supporting roles. Lack of mid slots especially tends to focus Amarr frigates and cruisers towards fleet roles or kiting.

Gallente on the other hand have ships in every class that can be fit multiple ways and really can be good at everything.


I think you misspelt drone meta.

TL;DR: Amarr ships not commonly used for burner missions, therefor they are sub-standard in general.

I'm sure this makes sense with the appropriate amount of hallucinogens.


as said earlier Vengeance. I'm not so sure how well it works as I tend to go with gun boats, but I'm pretty sure it can do at least one of the burners. and if we lock ourselves to one races ships how many burners can we really do? I feel like the daredevil is just cheating on most of them thanks to that insane web and dps combo.

Also beam kite retribution works pretty well for the team burners.

I like my Sacrilege and my Curse lots.
Prophecy, Legion, Vengeance and Geddon also quite fun.
Those are just the ones I like, I know there are others that are also perfectly viable.

I think they're doing pretty okay.

Not enough love for the prophecy here. You want an effective, simple Battlecruiser doctrine.... Prophs for tank to brawl and hold the enemy in place, myrms for DPS. Mailers and vexors do the same on the cruiser level. RvB has regular BC brawls and the proph wall is always there. Plus you can fit it however you like, neut, missile, guns, all with nice drone support.

Also the Devouter is the best Heavy Interdictor available. It can have a huge tank.

Zealot and sacralige are both excellent HACs.

Even the sentinel is to be feared in the right hands.

Heck, do you want to see an evil alternate to a talwar fleet? Replace the talwar with heretics.

And yes, gallante is popular because of the power of drones, but the second best drone race is Amarr.

You aren't giving Amarr enough chance of you think they are bad at PvP.

Vengeance is a good little pve ship, but yeah better against the right rats, as with any ship.. I also fly a Nightmare, hard to go wrong with that. There are quite a few popular Amarr ships.

I've never done a burner mission with a Vengeance, but I'd imagine it'd do well. Lately I mostly use mine for combat exploration, and the ship being one of my fav desktop wallpapers Smile


It can tank all the burner missions except the cruor (dam neuts) but it lacks the dps to kill the burner rats, so I pair it with a Slicer and own all the burners with that combo.

They have excellent top of the line ships, and mostly sub-par T1 ships.

Executioner, Maller, and Armageddon are the only Amarr T1's worth using.

And I love my Arbitrator but that is a steaming piece of **** too.

You spelled super wrong.

Mr Epeen Cool


Amaarr ships super par for combat?
Amarr ships sub super for combat?

Help me out here.Ugh
Well he did only mention spelling super incorrectly. Therefore to suggest 'sub super', would assume he meant both sub and par were incorrect, as shown by your changes.
