I'm just looking for an explanation as to why the Armageddon which is a tier 1 battleship has 1000 more base powergrid than the tempest and megathron which are both tier 2 battleships which are meant to be the pride and power of their races engineering and navies.
Also why does the raven only have 500 more powergrid than the scorpion?
Anyway just a couple things I've been wondering about lately as I'm nearing the stage where I'll be investing in my frist BS.

because its an ammar gunship, and lasers are grid hungry. and if i was you i would invest in arma couse its a great pvp and npc ship for starters.
its a no brainer really, some heat sinks, mega pulses, and watch the target melt.

In saying that though the mega and tempest primarily gun boats jusdging by slot lay out and hardpoint allocations. Also saying lasers take up lots of powergrid other guns seem to take up a considerable amount aswell.
Thank you for the advice and I will look into one

also the ravens grid was nerfed a little while back cos a lot of people armour tanked it. It is still possible to do this, but u cant fit a full rack of seige launchers to do it (6xseige = nearly all the ravens grid)
Geddon is a great ship, gank setup/mining/NPCing in 0.0 with a half decent tank. It works extremely well at a multitude of roles. Plus no ammo for NPCing which, trust me, is a MASSIVE bonus when in 0.0

funny how the wheel turns huh. Geddon has always been a popular carebear ship but was possibly the least popular pvp ship for a very long time.
I think fitting wise things are reasonably balanced at the moment. I'd like to see the Dom and possibly phoon get a PG increase though.
To the poster, amarr is a good choice but if you are low on skills I would also consider a scorp/raven. V good for pvp and not too shabby for pve now missiles are so cheap. Will also take half the amount of time to train for.

Because the Amarr ships have the highest powergrids since their weaponry (lasers) uses the most powergrid of any weapons in the game.

Because there is more to life than grid.
Why are people always so ready to start comparing ships on the basis of one number ? I could just as easily say that the geddon is the worst battleship because it only has three mid slots (one of the reason it was never popular for PvP). Does that make the exequror (4 mid slots) better than it ?
If you want an explanation, I would say it is that all the battleships are designed with specific intent. The armageddon is an all-out, frontline damage dealer, designed to crash into enemy lines and kill before it is killed. To do this, it fits lots of large weapons using it's high powergrid. It does not, however, do a lot else.

ya what the others said, your question was answered in the first reply. Check out the power req' on lasers compared to other weapons, then buy an arma and try to fit it. It's not as easy as you might think.

because it has the lowest CPU ?
how about this question then why does the APOC a tier2 ship have less CPU then any of the other tier1s except for the geddon?

well it kinda depends what you consider to be a comparable gun & the amount of turret slots. Mega has 7 turret slots but 425 is only 2750. 1400 is 3250, granted same as a megabeam but then temp only has 6 turret points. Tachyon is obviously way higher than anything.
I think the arguement still stands. Do u think the arma has too much grid or are you being an ass for the sake of it?

Hmm, mega pulse (the only laser that you should really be thinking about putting on an arma) takes 2500 grid.
I'm sure there are many, many hybrid and projectile users that wish their best weapons only took 2500 grid.
