Punisher

Looking for DOCTRINE FITS?


Description

The Punisher is considered by many to be one of the best Amarr frigates in existence. As evidenced by its heavy armaments, the Punisher is mainly intended for large-scale military operations, acting in coordination with larger military vessels. With its damage output, however, it is also perfectly capable of punching its way right through unwary opponents.

Helpful Information

A very solid combat frigate, while the Punisher is lacking in speed and offensive capability, it makes up for it with a very hefty tank.

The Punisher's slot layout of 4/2/4 leaves it unable to fit a web, which along its base speed can make controlling range in an engagement quite difficult. However, the 4 low slots allow either a very strong tank, or a significantly improved damage output (with the former being by far the more common choice). Both pure buffer tanks and combined buffer/active tanks are popular. Whatever the fit, the Punisher's combination of tank and damage output makes it an excellent up-close brawler, and going toe to toe with one in a lighter ship is often a poor strategy. It is, however, worth noting that the Punisher does not receive a tracking bonus. This means that orbiting under the guns of a Punisher can be a viable strategy, especially if they are pulse laser fit.
