Let's say you put a cap relay on a Geddon, and a heat sink on an Apoc. Both ships would then have similar DPS and cap regen, and you'd be left with the following layouts:
Apoc = 8/4/6 Geddon = 8/3/7
Apoc has more armor, Geddon has a smaller signature. Apoc has slightly more grid, Geddon has a slightly larger drone bay. But these differences are minor... so minor that you could in fact build each ship to do the same thing almost as well as the other. Sure the Geddon makes a better ganker, but you can get real close with an Apoc if you go all out with damage mods. And you can put one heckuva tank on a Geddon, especially considering that it has an extra low slot to play with.
I'm still new to battleships (bought my first one last night!), so correct me if I'm wrong. I was playing around with QuickFit before my purchase, as I was unsure of which one to get. Since I'll be using it to run missions, I was going for a balance between ganking & tanking, and this is where the similarities really begin to stand out. I'd fit out an Apoc, and then try to do something similar with the Geddon... and I'd end up with almost the same DPS, cap regen, and resists.

Apoc is useless because of lack of damage bonus, its redicilious. If I hunt 0.0 angels with Armageddon I Can kill angel ships about 2 or 3 times as fast as I can with apocalypser. And since I kill faster I need less tank.
Apoc = useless. Even the navy apoc is crap, all it has is an extra amount of armour.
Short end of straw.

Apoc/geddon are made for a specific strategy to either tank amazingly or dish out damage amazingly he probably finds it crap to do much else with it.
To think the apoc is anything better than average unless in gang and tbh any ship in gang is pretty good when dedicating their slots to purely take advantage of a ships bonuses...
well then you dont know much about anything either.

lets just say the apoc and geddon are fine for fleet fights at 200km why you would want to fly one over a raven for anything else i'll never know.
i think its crap that all amarr get with our Teir 3 abbadon is another boring bloody fleet ship.
Fact is Amarr are boring, predictable and easy to defeat with a multispec ECM or Tracking disrupter.
ravens are cheeper to setup, take like half the sp to fly, have better sensors, better dps while tanking better and never miss from like 70km to 1km.

Edited by: Laboratus on 22/07/2006 11:55:18 The geddon, as a thumb rule is better, cause it gets a damage bonus. The apoc can fit tachyons and compensate the damage by that, but that only means it's a lot more diffuclt to fit and more expensive. Set the geddon for max gank, use heavy drones, and you still get a good tank on it, while using your meds to keep up with the cap. Mega pulse lasers are the weapon of choise. Excelent damage, maintainable tank(not as good tank per second as shield tank but hey...), maintainable cap. Not many ships can do this. Only problem is lack of mid slots, so EW kinda ruins your day. And low sensor strenth. It's a tradeoff. It's stronger than the Apoc, but also more vulnerable to counter measures.

I do see your point here. other races bs are very different and have different uses. apoc and geddon are a little too similar if you ask me.

IMHO as far as the RP aspect of the game is taken into consideration, the Amarrians don't belive in versitility. They belive in overwhelming your enemy with superior firepower and numbers. And fighting till the bitter end of the opponent. They belive in blast and endure. Not in superior tactics or maneuvering. Just sit and shoot really... Mind control and tin hats |

Edited by: Johnny Bravo on 22/07/2006 12:35:57 Dude, Apoc with 8 guns have roughtly 16% less DPS than Geddon with 7. Plus some damage lost due to less drones. But, it have a bit more PG and CPU left after fitting 8 guns then Geddon after 7. Plus, 30% better capacitor and better alpha-strike. So, at least for NPC'ing Apoc is better than Geddon. And yes, they are very similar. But, its much better than be a different a-la Minmatar - gimpy Typhoon without a purpose and somewhat good Tempest.

He's not saying the devs should stop balancing, but that if you don't like something you should fly something that suits you better. Both the geddon and the apoc are pretty good and have good roles. They aren't uber, and as such people seem to think they are gimped.

Balance ... u want balance? so U want all races to have ALLL ships that can do ALLL the jobs that will have ALL similar stats THAT WILL MAKE THE GAME WoW or other mmos... because u want balance? i really prefer to have each race doing whats best at and not all doing ALLL.... Amarr is lasers armor tanking and thats it if u want all around playing go play the slaves or the caldari Else STOP saying about the stupidness of balancing...
Balancing... i hope u understand that what u trying to do is nerf something... and just that...
And about getting a glue... i play Fleet battles ALL the times (if ppl dont hide behind npc stations) So My Apoc/Arma has A HUGE role in my eve life... so that want something else as u said play something else and dont whine for nothing...

Also dont compare ships that have diferent roles and say look this lacks here BALANCE.....
Compare similar ships... or at least compare ships in similar situations.. dont tell me look the scorpion can ecm the arma no problem... SO WHAT?
Each ships has its good and bads... if ppl cant see that .. and can only think ... i cant kill a raven in my gankeddon... DEVS balance ... WTF how can they balance 2 diferent ships doing 2 diferent JOBSSSSSS. I dont want ANYTHING TO OUTDAMAGE A DAMN RAVEN in 0km range... nothing (maybe a blasterthron) can outdamage that....
But nothing can outtank an Apoc... (armor tanking for those wise guys)
So if u think more that just ur e-peen ... maybe we can help Devs Balance the game more.

No. After spending 3 years and more than $500 on this game I want the option to have atleast ONE good pvp battleship that wont loose all 1vs1's towards n00bs with 3 million skillpoints flying ravens.
Yes, I fly 3 races, but I want each one of them to offer me something. Today Amarr is horribly borked compared to the others.

Good point. Try Ganker geddon. 5 Mega pulses 2 Large Nos 3 sensor damps, 2 EANM t2, 1 LAR t2, 2 1600mm tungsten, 3 damage mods t2. For the drone bay 5 t2 berserkers.
Not quite sure on the excacts, but thats about how the fit goes. Nasty one at that. Then again, it isn't really a solo fit, as you still need a tackler, but anyways... Ruins my day every time I run into one.

Actually, since the Apoc has better capasitor than a domi, it can run it's 2 t2 LAR much longer than a domi... Mind control and tin hats |

indeed. the Geddon is great, but the apoc needs it stat changed from 5% extra cap per level, to 5% resistance per level like the maller. This would give it more tankability since with all the nos ships and cap booster this extra cap doesn't do jack in PVP.

To the OP: yes, they are very similar ships - more so than the tiers of the other races.
But the rest of this discussion is a bit pointless because neither the Apocalypse nor Armageddon are ever going to change, and the third tier will almost certainly be a sniping boat.
It's just... the way things are.

I tend to agree that they are very similar, but so is every Amarr ship. Appart from the Arbitrator and it's T2 versions they're designed to either gank or tank.

I've yet to see a well constructed post in this topic as to why the both ship are useful.
You have to think outside of the box, which i suspect not many can do here, since you obviously can't even distinguish the differences that make both ships unique and useful.

I guess you full failed to read what the man said.
Let's say you put a cap relay on a Geddon, and a heat sink on an Apoc. Both ships would then have similar DPS and cap regen, and you'd be LEFT with the following layouts: Apoc = 8/4/6 Geddon = 8/3/7

Sigh, lets see. With max skills on a domi in according to http://www.evegeek.com/drones.php is 475.2, however you can get 316.8 damage out from 5 heavy drones on any non boni ship that can carry 5 heavy drones. As such the real advantage is only (475.2-316.8=)158.4 damage. As the drone ships have less grid than turret ships they can't max fit guns. (domi 9000 PG Mega 15500PG. as such the bigger drone bay "costs" the domi 6500PG) Due to this the 158.4 advantage in drone damage is easily overcome by better turret ships.
So do some reasearch plz.
Anyways That is offtopic. This thread is about the differences of Apoc and armageddon. Gotto go do something else. I'm too irritated by trolls. Mind control and tin hats |

Die. Stop thinking about PvP all the time. PvP this PvP that. I bought my Apocalypse and trained for my Apocalypse and because it was always the PvE ship (crystals=endless ammo). It sucks for PvP, but so what? It's still not useless at it. I like my Apocalypse.

You do realise that a resist bonus would mean you'd have to rep less in PvE, and thus need less cap? 
If the Apoc got a resist bonus I'd have died and gone to heaven. Not only would it still have enough lows to fit a sick tank (and a no-ammo cargo baby for the cap charges), 25% extra resistances across two reppers, 7500 base armor and however many plates I'd stashed on... omgdrool"

Im not 10% sure on this ( my maths is crap) so maybe someone can confirm / deny it for me.
Geddon has 7 turrets and a 5% RoF bonus. Apoc has 8 turrets no bonus.
Assuming that a 5% RoF bonus is directly comparable to a 5% Damage bonus ( Which is by no means guaranteed) by my sums a geddon with 7 dual heavy beam ( for example) and no damage mods doesnt start to outdamage an apoc with 8 dual heavy beam untill u have bs lvl3.
So at bs lvl5 ur looking at <15% more damage for Geddon vs Apoc. Its actually less because u get more more benfit for ur gunnery skills on an apocs 8 turrets than u do a Geddons 7. ( Ur skills are aplied to 8 turrets not 7).
Ofc my maths could be off but i'm fairly sure its not.
If I'm right than the whole "Apoc is rubbish" thing is possibly slightly exaggerated. Geddon gets mebbe 13% greater damage at the expense of grid/armour/cap.
Just a thought

Can't fit max guns? Excuse me but a domi can fit 6 electron blaster cannons.... 6 blasters + 5 drones = 1k dps.
Is someone saying the domi is overpowered?
Thought I'd never see the day!
As for the difference between Apoc and Geddon... When a geddon approaches I expect the need to turn on the armor hardeners and do alot of repairing. When an Apoc approaches I expect it to either be a dot 200km away melting me with tachyons, or be the toughest tank this side of a capital ship. Now and again someone surprises me with an off-the-wall setup. Besides being rock solid, the Apoc has tremendous utility value with its bottomless cap.
Sure that's not a huge difference. But hello? how long have you flown Amarr? ALL their ships are no-nonsense hard hitters or lumps of bulletproof stuff. Amarr does what it says on the tin. If you don't like it, cross-train for another race. ----------------------------------------------- My Ideas: Drones wish list <-- 2 years old. I always knew the voice w |
