Where are the shield battleships??! While it doesn't have the damage projection of an apoc, it's not a bad sniping ship. The Abaddon class ship is a celestial tool of destruction. For the abaddons, bricking them up and either scare away the camp or get them to aggress and jump in your logistics/e-war. Helpful guides to running all the various missions on EVE Online and more! I wouldn't really bother with the abaddon with 2.4M sp(while most are used to reach BS and large T2 guns). This is a good post, thanks for writing it, Is Rokh any good? 2013-10-31 10:40:05 UTC, -
I'm also super interested in trying out the Abaddon and Apocalypse, I was never able to get a fit on them that I was satisfied with until now. 2013-10-31 10:17:03 UTC, -
If you cant t2 fit the abaddon, dont get into it. I was thinking that there is a place for lowsec 'gate camp breakers' in PVP. EVE allows you to discover, explore and dominate an amazing science fiction universe while you fight, trade, form corporations and alliances with other players. Yes you get dropped on (a lot). EVE Online, the EVE logo, EVE and all associated logos and designs are the intellectual property of CCP hf. Use to relieve your interceptor and lock a ship down.
DPS isn't great, but you can have some real interesting fights. Another amazing ship with a reputation issue, the neut bonus, while awesome, means that people fear you and you’re likely to get turboblobbed.
The brawl setups are lacking because of missile application but the cruise brawler is pretty decent and unexpected. Is it correct to assume that it's just not suitable for the current meta? As mentioned by others, one of the best. Get Amarr BS V, jump into Marauders and get a Tach Pala... MJD / Bastion / EWAR-proof and melt stuff. I think a vindi would be.. not great, given that the meta is very kitey so most people will just kite you. It's really the low slots that get me. But to answer your question, the abaddon can serve a few useful roles. Dominix: https://zkillboard.com/kill/72403820/. I love the Tempest, but I feel like I never quite know how to fit it for solo work. Base Time to Warp is essentially the time needed for this ship to align and accelerate until it reaches 75% of its top speed and goes to warp. It's possible you could roam solo with it but since you have to ask where it fits, I'm going to assume that solo roaming with this BS is not the correct plan for you. The Abaddon is a highly skill intensive battleship and due to its cost shouldn't be fielded unless proper skills are able to justify its abilities. With this battleship the DPS isn't lacking either. This makes the Abaddon a "high skill" ship for PvE, because it requires good core skills to keep its lasers firing while powering its tank. However it has 2 major issues in speed (slow as dicks) and lack of insurance (although the hull was initially really cheap), Tempest: https://zkillboard.com/kill/72491279/. It's not a very forgiving ship. You should have maxed capacitor skills and controlled bursts to at least 4 for an Amarr BS. Bubbles are a Pain, and getting back to a gate takes forever without. Though really, tackle should be left to smaller ships. The Abaddon for your SP is a bad, like really bad idea. NApoc just performs better at the role for the price after the prices for abaddons spiked up a bit. Some people enjoy fleet fights, some the thrill (and ISK) of finding and killing that officer NPC, but there are few experiences in EVE Online as intense and gratifying as facing another pilot in 1v1 combat. Also a great slot layout.
Short range brawler/heavy tackle. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. The bonus to tank and the high damage makes the Abaddon a popular PvP ship, where its difficulty staying cap stable is also not so much of an issue, especially when fitted with artillery as an alpha doctrine. XLASB has the issue of needing 2 slots and massive fittings and if you don’t fit a cap booster (most don’t) you lose your invulns if neuted and consequently a shitload of tank. Go Apoc all the way, mate - by far the best Amarr missioner. Hey thanks man, that's exactly what I was looking for! Armageddon: https://zkillboard.com/kill/73883910/. Often when you run into gangs, you end up killing their tackle (thank you mr flycatcher) then burn to a gate and escape, sometimes you get awesome fights where battlecrusiers decide to switch to void ammo to try and break you... often lose my ship then, but take a few with me.
