Hi My first BS is on the way... but i cant decide on a geddon or a apco. what do you think?
My purpose of the BS is to use it only fore npc hunt in .0 space and tanking fore mining OP.
First i want to know if i am ready to operate a BS with my skills. This is some important skills that i can think off that i already have. * Battleship lvl 3 * electronic lvl 4 * enginering lvl 5 * energy sys op lvl 4 * energy management lvl 4 * hull upgrade lvl 4 * mechanic lvl 4 * repair sys lvl 4
i really want to be able to tank good in my BS and then i can start thinking of doing damage.
So whitch one is best fore tanking, apoc or geddon?
Witch one is best to grow in as i am a new player and have alot to learn?
What are speaking fore eatch model, a apoc or a geddon?
Happy fore any help!!
Thanks

You're going to want to go for the apoc if you are interested in tanking.
Also put bs to lvl 4 and you probably want Advanced wep upgrades to 4 and Electronics to 5

I used to run apoc for ratting, but recently switched for geddon.
They bother have good enough tanks for the rats and the geddon have far better DPS, so the switch was a no-brainer for me.
Sure Apoc have far better tank, but the geddon is good enough, and the geddons DPS makes it so you kill your NPCs alot quicker and those don't need to tank as long :)

why do i need advance weapon upgrade to lvl 4 what does that give me? advance weapon upgrade is a long way fore me left to train i think so it will take a while.
what is DPS?
is it good to use the apoc fore solo/gang pvp also if needed?

The only decent apoc setup i've found is a half nos/half mega pulse lasers for pvp but the apoc tank is simply awesome. As said previously the geddon's dps is way better due to it's ROF (rate of fire) bonus so personally that is all i really use now unless i'm complexing. So i'd say geddon for pvp but if u just wanna tank then apoc

Apoc longer, Geddon bigger. Tank vs Damage. ---------------- RecruitMe@NOINT!

If your relatively new i would suggest to go for a geddon because it has good damage and its a hell of a lot cheaper to lose than an apoc ------------------------------------------------------- Read my EW suggestions here:- http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=304925&page=28 |

And the Geddon has more drones making the dps even higher over the apoc. I agree. Geddon all the way.

At BS level 3 the Geddon and the Apoc do very similar damage. The biggest advantage the Geddon has over the Apoc at BS level 3 is the drone bay.
The Apoc has numerous advantages over the Geddon though.

Some more information to try and banish some myths.
At BS level 3.
Geddon - 7 turrets, ROF bonus takes that up to approx 8.05, bigger dronebay Apoc - 8 turrets, cap bonus, bigger cap, more armour, stronger Radar strength, easier fitting, 1 more mid, 1 less low
You're exchanging a bigger dronebay (which is of limited use as you can still put 5 mediums and 5 lights in an Apoc) for _significantly_ more cap (which is very important), you can consider that as 1 extra slot, because you're going to want at the absolute minimum 1 cap mod on the geddon.
