This isn't a gripe thread. Many have expressed the desire for the Abaddon to be a carrier vs the current incarnaion, to fill out the Amarr abilites rather than just combing the abilites of the two battleships we already have.
The Arbitrator line shows that Amarr do use drones as a racial weapon as well as lasers, and that line has shown to be a solid ship, as well as our best pvp line. Now is the best chance as the desighns are still being finialzed to change the Abaddon, so please discuse and sighn if you would like to see this happen.

wow, you want a ship wit 7 mids, 7 lows, 20 total slots, 300 drone bay, and 3 bonuses?
even though i would like it, since i would love a real drone ship, i think it is too much.
better something like 6/5/8
bonus
10% heavy drone damage
5% drone tracking
The Abaddon will already have 20 slots at 8/4/8, and the Dominix has three bonus with a 375 m3 drone bay.  Also went with armour resists/drone speed/drone sig radius as the Dominix has turret dmg/Drone dmg/Drone hps so as not to just be making a bigger Dominix.

Actually, this idea is growing on me.
Say 6/6/7
5% armour resists
5% drone speed/5% drone tracking
I use the double drone bonus as the Dominix has one, and the Curse as well, take it comes in pairs? If not then just the drone tracking. Functions as a well armoured mobile drone ship that supports the fleet with solid EW capability.

As a drone ship it will most likely have one less slot than the 20 that the tier 3 look to be getting. Also curious as to why the tracking disrupter bonus over the armour bonus? It's an intriguing idea, please elaborate why that would be better than the staying power of +5% resits.

Creating a bigger Arbi that has the exact same bonus would serve to replace the Arbi though. Why not make a different set of bonus so that there is a use for both drone boats in a fleet?

Where does it say in the Pax Amarra that we shouldn't use drones? What is with the fanatic devotion to lazers over anything else, when most people agree our lazers are a bit gimped by the whole cap thing? There are Amarr drone ships, some very good ones, why can't we have another to round our fleet out at battleship level? As it stands every good pilot Amarr pilot should be using drones to help cover the glaring lack of damadge choice in those uber lazers everyone keeps saying we have.

You know, i am curious. Where is this Amarrian Loyalty i keep hearing about?
You know what I would have thought the propper Amarr responce would have been?
"You'll take what the emporers blessed fleet designers give you and you will like it!"
Sounds more Amarrian to me, lol.
Must be nice being one of the golden Caldari. Didn't the early initial stats released on test server show only 7 turret hard points on the new Caldari uber boat? Be seeing you on the Caldari whine thread after the tier 3's hit TQ.  Now leave us to fix out messed up stuff, less when faction warfare hits you end up fighting the combined Gallente/Miminitar fleets alone as all our stuff is too gimped to work and the Amarr stay home to work on explosive crystals.

The Gallente have one, though it's really out of date, and there is a opening for the Amarr to step in and make a better one. 
Better to train Amarr than Gallente for your drone BB. Flying Amarr ships makes you feel pretty.

Linkage
It's a bit different from the Arbi, however this does look to me a lot like a drone boat. With the large area in the front under the "nose" being the acess to the drone bays. Does anyone have a link to the ingame image of the Abaddon?
