Fit it with small beam lasers and a web/Afterburner in the mids (after all if you are defend a plex people will come to you to fight) Sure you can't stop them warping away but tbh if they do then you have won anyways. It is a solid ship with great tank and despite what most forum warriors think it is an effective combat frig. The punisher however shouldn't be written off. Tormentor is Amarr's most versatile combat frig nowadays the 3 slot mid really help to fit fit the infamous web/scram/prop mod etc etc and the drones add a bit of extra flexibility as well. Long-term I would like to move up to faction/pirate frigs or maybe tactical destroyers, but figure I should probably start off with cheaper ships since I'm certain to have a bunch of them shot out from under me while I learn. Every skill point I have to put in drones is a point that isn't getting put into guns. (Even though my natural inclination is that more tank is better.) But since it has room for a couple drones it looks like I would need good drone skills to fully take advantage of it, which doesn't matter long term but matters a great deal right now. Sure, they may burn away from me but isn't that where the ability to switch from short range to long range ammo crystals comes into play? Will I not be able to do enough damage to kill them before they get far enough away to escape? I'm guessing I'm wrong since so many people knock the ship for its two mid slots - but maybe it's not as much of a disadvantage in this scenario where I'm planning to start all my fights from inside a FW plex.) As for the tormentor, it sacrifices some tank but gains the 3rd mid slot which seems like a plus overall. It seems to me that I could probably make do with just scram and web though since I will be sitting at the warp in and should be able to get webs on anything that comes in. I like the punisher's tank, but after searching the forums it seems like the 2 mid slots really hurt the ship's viability for solo since you can't fit scram/web/prop. I'm really not interested in trying to kite. I want to fight at in your face/bad breath distance and plan to sit on the beacon and grab whatever decides to come in and play. I really want to stick with Amarr ships for now, so "fly another race" isn't what I'm looking for here, even if it would be the better option. I'll be solo without any boosts/links if that changes the equation. Keep in mind that I'm new/low skilled so exotic fits that rely on a bunch of level 5 skills might be good long-term goals, but I'm more interested in something I can fly now. Greetings! I want to fly an Amarr frigate for firmware plexes and am having trouble figuring out if a tormentor or punisher would be the better ship.
