Can someone post a comparison on how well each different BS fairs in PVP? What it can do well and what it sucks at. Also including how much SP would be required to use one effectivelly. As far as caldari BSes, consider the changes that the new patch would bring in.
Thanks.

all battleships are good in different roles...
Megathron, extreme close range or longer range Raven, close to medium range Tempest, Extreme long range Apoc, all ranges

Arma, close range ganker. Apoc, med to long range. Don't use it close range, its not where its strength is, least IMO.

Most of the turret based BS have about the same reqs in skilltraining.
Megathron - Pure damage ship, either short range with blasters and do moore damage then any other BS (maybe t2 pulse geddon will do same damage) or fit rails and still do very good damage over very good range.
Dominix - never flown the ship, i see alot of ppl using kinda kinky setups on it though, smartbombs, nosferatus e.t.c.
Tempest - Seems to be the flavour of the month in the "warp in at 100km gank a BS wap out"-tactic. Tempest does tremendous damage in one volley but it has kinda slow RoF.
Typhoon - Can get extreme range due to its bonuses, only 4 turret hp so it loses half its bonuses, shame.
To lazy to write about the other BS.  ----------------------------------- What he said? |

Haven't seen anyone mention the scorp...
Scorpion - The ultimate in defense and support, excels at preventing other ships from firing. Also can be set up to tank like crazy. Damage output is pretty low however.

Tempest can easily compete at close range with a Mega or Raven if you have the know how.

at the end of the day go Geddon :D
Best Amarr Sniper (before you start,, The Apoc DOESNT make a better sniper) Best DoT of any ship (I think ) 2nd Best looking bs ... the Batmobile has to win really

1on1 nuffin can beat a nos domy or 4nos/4siege typhoon. They are pretty uber, but only useful in 1on1 or small group combat

Lol, 
You sure about that? 
I can think of plenty of ships / setups that would beat both those two... 
(In a game of rock/paper/scissors you can never say a particualar bs is best. Although some are best in very specific situations..)

4 NoS typhoon will be ripped to shreds by a standard tech II Gankageddon before those NoS's have any real affect... 
And as to the rock paper scis.. comparrison... Mw uahahaha WRONG !
My tactic for who skins up next using this game is unbeaten... the Jedi Approach
Tell your m8's your gunna go Scissors every time and that your going to win... Jedi powers yada yada.. then do exactly what you said you win lol 
Mind controll ? mebbe not ... but who knows

If you like drones, go for a Dominix.
If you like medium range ganking, go for an Armageddon.
If you like EW, go for a Scorpion.
If you like a bit of everything, go for a Typhoon.
If you like close range gunnery, go for Megathron.
If you like tanking, go for an Apocalypse.
If you like missiles, go for a Raven.
If you like sniping, go for a Tempest.

domi lands 10k from geddon. dead geddon
domi lands 30k from geddon. dead domi
its all situational of course. and a nos domi doesnt run just nos, its usually a combination of nos + neut. Plus it can tank, which ur gankageddon cant. I have seen a setup that can strip over 1k cap per cycle so thats what 2 cycles b4 ur caps dead running multis in a typical ganka (with 8 HS and no cap rechargers). Meanwhile the hvy tank on the domi is soaking up some of the dmg ur giving out. Fair enuf u would kill him given time, but a dual large rep will tank a ganka for a while. After about 20-30 seconds u got no cap, all the time his 13-15 hvy drones have been tearing u up
At range, of course the geddon would win but who would fight a geddon at 30kms these days?

30 seconds is plenty of time for a gankageddon with t2 guns to kill almost anything. Unless you kit the domi specifically for fighting amarr ships (e.g. armor tank with 2 EM + 2 thermal hardeners) or the Geddon lands VERY close from the domi (so that it gets major tracking problems), the Geddon will probably kill it before its cap dies.

actually u can tank a tech2 ganka with 2 large, 1 em and 2 thermal for over a minute b4 the extra dmg he does starts breaking through adn trust me there aint no way his cap will last anywhere near a minute

Edited by: Shirei on 20/06/2005 13:54:50 That is exactly what I said.. Unless you tailor your tank towards the ship you are fighting against (as you are doing with 1 EM + 2 thermal hardeners), you have no chance. But with prior knowledge about the ship you are fighting against, any ship can counter any other (EW 4tw).

If you don't put an EM hardner on your tank you really need to rethink things.
What ships do tanks fear the most?
Gank ships.
What damage type is most common in gank ships?
Tempest with EMP = 45% EM // 36% EXP // 18% Kin Armageddon = 58% EM output // 42% Thrm Megathron = 58% Kin // 42% Thrm
Personally i would go with 1x EM, 2x Thrm, 1 EXP. That will give you protection from ganking Tempests as the DOT they output isn't that great as well as good protection from gankgeddons. It leaves you with limited protections from gankathrons but you can't have everything
I'm pretty sure tempest and geddons are found more in gank setups then megas are or at least, are more common.

only problem with armor tanked domi is, that it doesn't really have the grid for all the nosfs you would want. I'm starting to think about shield tank there, but that is problem with 5 med slots, as you need something to hold the inCAPacitated geddon there.
With shield tank(7x pduII), you can easily put on 4x nosf + 2x neut or even 3nosf 3neuts. But cycle on the neuts is 24s, and that is too long. (so you kill like 2200 cap in the start and another 2200 after 24s).
So the question is, can you survive 24s?

With 1 EM, 2 Thrm...
A geddon doing 1100DPS will be doing 288.75 DPS on armor after resists are factored in...
You will last in order of shields/armor/structure...
Shields 4.4sec
Armor 17sec + 4.98sec dual armor rep =21.98sec
Structure 4.8sec + one more dual armor rep you'll get 4.98sec =9.78
36.16seconds total

Mega, great sniper, even better close range ganker
Tempest, best burst DMG at range, and one of the best 1v1 close range BS available
Raven, till new patch, very versatile lone BS for short range fights. Decent tank, kills friggies like no other.
Scorp, only REAL EW BS in game, so a clear niche.
Dominix, as someone said, blob in a can. Great ganker/tanker or nos setup. A Good ship if setup right
Apoc, best tank in game.. decent sniper. Not a huge fan though
Arma best ganker in game for mid/short range fights.

If you are talking about basic setups without boosters, then nossing ships do have the edge on regular setups.
However, cap boosted (800) solo setup Armas, Domis, tempests and Megathrons can beat these nossers.
