Amarr is like the old days of empire with the touch of zealots in its religion just like the dark age of the west and middle east. Not to compared to them but its similar in nature where their believe and dedication based on their religion and will do anything to uphold that believe.
Amarrian ship design are based mostly fleet combat and not suitable for solo purposes except for some ship. The main reason for this is the lack of midslot to do enough for anything else. Such ship such the Armageddon (3 Medium Slot) which have good firepower and drone capacity fall flat in tackling gear if fitted cap booster setup. Make it worse if u fit pulse laser weapon u need a speed modules such as Afterburner or Microwarp Drive in midslot automatically leaving 1 slot left for anything else. Sensor Booster, Webber, Warp Jammer are in mid-slot gimping ship capability to do anything than 1 thing at a time. Amarrian ship don't require much ammo since it use frequency crystal and its not depleted after usage except there's chance it will break. This enable amarr ship to operate in deep space without the need to restock their ammo after each battle. Its also make cargo room for amarr ship free for other else such as cap booster charge.
Their weapon of choice is Laser weapon. Its a high-energy, good raw dps, doing EM and Thermal damage depends on crystal used (its an ammo for laser without depletion process after usage) and good optimal range make its deadly in some situation. The drawback is its not having good dps if tanking factor taken into account and the falloff is kinda bad. Any tank especially armor tank will have good EM and Thermal damage resist so there goes the firepower. Falloff drawback will force amarr pilot to switch crystal often to get damage done to the enemy. Its something that not favour new pilot. Their main weaponry that shines over the rest is availability of Tachyon. Tachyon laser turret are long range version of laser turret that do powerful damage at very long distance. Its a main advantage since the damage are phenomenal compared to 1400MM artilerry and 425 MM hybrid. There's some pilot fitted amarr ship with projectile based weapon which use very little cap to compensate energy usage. I only found them viable for apocalypse class battleship due to unavailability of weapons damage bonus of any kind except cap storage bonus and lesser energy usage for laser weapon.
Their defensive capability is quite good Armor Tank. Although it was a king of armor tank in Exodus patch era, its become dwindled to average tanker due to Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane and related skill books after RMR patch. The introduction of the skill book make other ship races able to tank as good like amarrian ship but require less power in terms weapon usage compared to amarr ship.
There's some ship that amarr pilot can use for solo hunting. That's ship is their force recon class, Curse and Pilgrim. Both of these ship are based on Arbitrator cruiser which rely on drones to do damage meanwhile the ship disable their opponent tracking and energy via Nosferatu. Curse and Pilgrim follow this but with additional bonus in terms of NOS range and energy suck for curse and ability for pilgrim to warp while cloaked. These 2 ship enable them to choose their opponent and its difficult to destroy them due to cloak capability and agility of cruisers.
Amarr electronic warfare area specialties is Tracking distruptor bonus. Its given to Arbitrator class cruiser and its siblings Pilgrim and Curse recon ship. This tracking distruptor when activated to a target and especially Turret Gunboat lessen the effectiveness of their weapon by lessen their tracking rate. Without tracking, turret gunboat have slim or no chance at all to hit their target.
Amarr ship can be said useful in gang but its have some weakness in operating solo (for some ship). Its still reliable and effective fleet ship of any size.
