I just want to say this:
Abaddon - Combat
Apocalypse - Attack
Armageddon - Disruption via Neut/Nos.
However, please actually call the Armageddon a "Disruption" battleship since that's basically what you've got here.
For the rest of you who are up at arms about the change to the Geddon, you knew there was a new Amarr doctrine coming when the Arbitrator got rebalanced and the Dragoon was added. The Prophecy change should have confirmed it in your minds that something would happen to one of the Amarr battleships. How is this a surprise? It's not a bad change though, out of all the amarr ships to be turned into "the weird one", the Armageddon is probably the most appropriate. Drones and missiles and neuting would have looked very strange on the iconic laser death machine that is the Apoc and no dimension exists where converting the Abaddon to that role is actually a legitimate idea.
CCP Rise: You succeeded in justifiably enraging basically the entirety of the Minmatar and Gallente communities (I haven't been back to the Caldari thread yet) but managed to pull it out of the fire. For the Amarr battleships though, these changes look pretty solid. Admittedly I'm not sure how that reduced cap on the Apoc will play out. Just remember to consider each race's identity first (like how Amarr have thick armor that suggests buffer tanking and strong capacitors for those cap-sucking lasers) and then go about your tiericide with that sort of guiding principle in mind. |

Neuts are not weapons unless you consider ECM modules, TDs, Sensor Dampeners, Scrams and Webs to be weapons as well.
If you do consider those to be weapons, then I'm just not sure what to say. |

Since I imagine CCP is still somehow watching this massive threadnaught, I figured I might add in something I thought of just a moment ago.
Rather than giving the Armageddon a bonus to nos/neuting like the Dragoon has and probably stepping on the Bhaalgorn's toes in the process, why not give it the Arbitrator's bonus to tracking disruption? |

It feels kinda odd to have the navy apoc almost with the exact same stats as the standard one ...
I've always felt it was silly and kind of wrong for the Navy version of a ship to be virtually identical to the civilian version.
Better tank, better cap, better fittings, one extra slot. A navy version should always have at least have these three things, even if only marginally. |
