It would be really usefull if people actually started playing this game instead of just whining on the forums...

I'm looking forward to fly this monster. And believe me its gonna hurt!

TBH the Abba's viability will come down to 2 stats that are not released yet.

1) Drone bay size in comparison to the Geddon

If it isn't comparable in size no one will fly the Abba over the Geddon. That extra turret is only like 14% more dps with 50% more cap use, and ogre II's have a really nice damage output combined with geddon firepower. If the Ogre's bring the dps any closer than 14%, and you can tank with the geddon better due to cap, why would you fly the Abba?

2) If the capacitor size isn't any bigger than the apoc w/BS lvl 5, even 2 cap injectors won't make it even semi sustainable in the short term even for guns. Nos will make it even more vulnerable. This thing better have almost capital ship sized capacitor.

My main problem is that it's not any *different* than our other 2 ships. Why we can't get a drone boat or a 8 missile bay ships I will never know. The other ships all provide something different/what was missing to thier respective races. Hyperion = blaster, Rokh = turret sniper, Maelstrom = 8 gun shield tanker.

Abba = Apoc and Geddon rolled into 1. Nothing new or different, with possible severe cap issues forcing docking for 'ammo' worse than any other ship ever created. Think about how many charges you can put in your cargo hold. Imagine needing 2 cap injectors running all the time *JUST* to shoot.

Think about needing an alt in a bestower following you around with Cap 800 charges. Cuz thats what you would need. Looking at the normal size of amarr cargo bays you will be able to carry about 2 minutes worth of firing before you have to go get more charges.

Abba will actually need 128% of the cap of the Geddon. Thanks Aramendel. FFS that is depressing.
