Hey guys...ran a few level 4's last night in my Armageddon and struggled along. It was slow...my tank was pretty week. A corp mate gave me an Apocalypse and I started throwing together a fitting:

Apocalypse
High:
7x Mega Pulse Laser II

Medium:
3x Cap Recharger II
1x Tracking Computer II (Optimal Range Script)

Low:
1x Damage Control II
2x Armor Hardeners (Depending on the mission enemies)
3x Imperial Navy Heat Sink
1x Large Armor Repairer II

Rigs:
3x Large Capacitor Control Circuit I

Drones:
10x Hobgob II

I am cap stable at 52% with 28.4k EHP 600+ DPS based on charges.

Any input would be great! Thanks in advance!

I'm sorry but have you not heard of the search function? There's even a thread about fitting the same damn ship right below this thread!

You dropped a magstab in favour of an EANM. Don't do that!

Magstab?

They meant heat sink. An EANM isn't a very good idea on a PvE fit (unless its incursions) because you get better resists from specific hardeners. Instead of the damage control and EANM you could have a thermic and EM hardener (If you were fighting Sansha or Blood Raiders) and you'll get a better tank.

Ahhh...yea I just tossed that on there because I wasn't sure if using 2x of a specific module like that would be worth the penalty...

So I am required to post in another persons post about a different fit? Sorry I don't have the ISK to spend on a full navy fitting, and no...no it isn't the same fit. Move along.



Magstab?

You dropped a magstab in favour of an EANM. Don't do that!

You use the fit as a base, just because it has faction equipment, doesnt mean it needs them. Downgrade if neccesary. That still doesn't stop you doing a quick google or forum search. Stop cluttering the place up.

Try fitting a Micro Jump Drive. It's saved my Navy Apoc a few times when running plexes and sanctums. If you get neuted/webbed/scrammed, then hit the MJD, load scorch and move back in.

Can you use that when you are scrambled?

Can you use that when you are scrambled?

Yes, MJD works with NPC scram. The only things stopping it are player scramble and scripted warp disruption field.

magstab?

you fitting rails on your apoc???

Was posting drunk, my bad.

MJD does not work with scram but as NPC don't scram (they point) it works in pve.

As to the topic. I reworked the Apoc once again to be more tanky. I lost an apoc yesterday morning when I got pointed by a player while in an angel site =/ Anyways heres what I am running now...can tank almost anything as is.

Apocalypse
High:
8x Mega Pulse Laser II (really why did you have 7 guns on it?)

Medium:
2x Cap Recharger II
2x Tracking Computer /w correct script for the range (carry both)

Low:
-1x Adaptive Nano Plating II
+ Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II (deadspace/faction for better fitting/tank)
-1x Damage Control II If you really want a DCU for EHP against gankers then fit it instead of the EANM
+ 3x Heat Sink
2x Armor Hardeners (Depending on the mission enemies)
1x Large Armor Repairer II (Really 2 is overkill)

Rigs:
3x Large Capacitor Control Circuit I

Drones:
5x Hobgoblin II
5x Hammerhead II

Doesn't kill quite as fast but can tank anything no problem =X

Unfortunately active tanked armor ships don't work very well unless it's a Legion or Gallente (stupid rep bonuses). But that is soon to change as CCP acknowledges this. I'd expect them to lower the cap and fitting requirement in the coming months. While shield isn't as efficient it has the ability to modify that through use of rigs and mods. Not to mention it has an existing passive tank through recharge. There is no efficiency mod for armor reps only rigs (that slow your ass down) and armor doesn't repair itself. go with one faction large armor rep. Imperial navy usually works best. Mission specific hardeners and an EANM. Don't feel bad about the Cap problems. Every BS has them unless it's buffer fit.
