Eurydice Itzhak Providence Guard Templis CALSF 325	Posted - 2014.01.13 09:11:00 - [1] - Quote I know nothing of Amarr besides pew pew lasers and I want their tank specifically for this reason. What would I reasonably expect this tank to feel like? Will the turret feel like a giant scrambler or giant viziam? Raising up my armor skills to be prepared to dual tank. I want the shiny tonk.

I have been wanting to try and discuss this for a while with CCP Wolfman but I doubt he would reveal anything to us at this point. However in 1.7 the capacity to effectively dual tank has become a reality. Compared to the 1.6 modules, and I tried heavily to make a successful Dual tank that I felt could replicate the play style of the Amarr, the newer 1.7 modules will allow for the Amarr HAV to do what I feel the Amarr are best at. Resistance tank. If we consider the current model of Amarr content we see - Increased PG and CPU - Highest base Shield and Armur Values - Slow over all speed - Long range damage capacity - High Stamina values - Lower Number of Module Slots Considering this I think, and I have seen a very well thought out thread about this which I will try to link, we will see the Amarr HAV with the highest fitting capacity of all HAV. Additionally we would see a fairly even balance between shield and armour, the suggested values in the thread I mentioned earlier were around 2725 for both values. For example Madrugar 1200 Shield 4000 Armour 3 Low Slot 2 High Slot Total combined HP- 5200 Gunlogi 2650 Shield 1500 Armour 2 Low Slot 3 High Slot Total Combined HP- 4150 Considering the Amarr HAV it might look something like this 2725 Shield 2725 Armour 2 Low Slot 2 High Slot Total Combined HP- 5450 "Face the enemy as a solid wall.

True Adamance Kameira Lodge Amarr Empire 5633	Posted - 2014.01.13 09:29:00 - [3] - Quote In terms of weapons CCP really could do anything. EVE side we have two main types of Laser Turret for our vessels. Beam Laser Turrets- Like our Laser rifle which fire beam of light out to distance targets Pulse Laser Turrets- Like the Scrambler Rifles which are focused for a more close ranged oriented engagments. Even more so than that we could consider the possibility of the Empire producing Arc Cannon's from Templar One which fire, what I understand to be energy projectiles. This weapon is to the best of my knowledge derived from the super weapon Jamyl Sarum used to defeat the Elder Fleet that invaded the Empire during the reign of the false emperor Karsoth. Oh and I don't know if this is a real confirmation or a troll by CCP Wolfman but he mentioned in passing to me in a thread that the Amarrian HAV would not be a Golden tank but instead a Plantinum one.... which when considering Platinum as a material which can disperse/ withstand intense heat (correct me if I am wrong here) would make sense for dispersing the heat generated by laser type weapons across the hull of the vehicle.

Eurydice Itzhak Providence Guard Templis CALSF 325	Posted - 2014.01.13 09:33:00 - [4] - Quote In that scenario it seems like two shield hardeners along side an armor repper and plate would be the best overall fit. What makes it resistance tanking? What makes it different than a better gunny? How are Amarr ranked in terms of torque? Low I'm guessing? I'm here for the lasers, just trying to wrap my head around what the actual tank will be.

Its is likely that we will have a slow accelation period before reaching maximum velocity and even with that velocity we would not be much faster than the Gunlogi if not slower. Torque would be incredibly low, the Amarr HAV In my mind will be a long range stand and deliver tank. I would suggest either your fit with dual shield hardeners, Armour plate and Armour Hardener or perhaps even a simple and standard 2x Shield Hardeners 1x Armour Hardener 1x Armour Repper "Face the enemy as a solid wall.

If they stuck with EVE lore it would be a slow moving, heavily armored behemoth with more low slots for armor modules that would be built for sitting in place and locking an area down rather than bulldozing around at high speed. But, they haven't been sticking to EVE lore with Amarr and Minny too much. Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!
