The only way to make laser ships do well is to go in deep: fit for dps, tracking and range where needed. You will have cap issues, you can’t play semi-afk and you have to play intelligently, then you’re rewarded with so much ranged dps that you simply don’t really care too much about damage type issues, you’re melting faces.

Yeah, that’s exactly right- laser boats require much more active play. With my Rattler, I:

Warp in
MJD to range
Lock up, drop sentries and start cruise launchers
Keep an eye on the screen while I check my email, pet the cat, and generally wait.
Repeat

With my Nightmare (where I’ve got like 90 seconds of cap with everything going), it’s a constant management of modules, positioning, switching crystals, etc. It makes you fight in a way where you don’t need everything active at once and makes you pay attention while your engaged in the fight. And, honestly, it’s a lot of fun!

My full clear time in sites with both ships is similar, but one is “Easy Mode” one is “Real Pilot Mode”. It’s an equally effective, but totally different style.

all skills available, (…)
It´s gonna take couple of months to train all though.

For all skills, it’s rather a couple of decades…

“yes I know there’s better options, go away”. It’s the Amarr way.

The Amarr way is more “There are no other options”. But, yes, I agree; it’s not the easiest race to play, but it is hugely satisfying - and in the long run you will learn a lot that will stand you in good stead.
