Ignash Trevere Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2007.04.04 12:17:00 - [1] What is your opinion on these two ships, for general PvP: I believe for solo, the Apoc is the pwner, it has a way better tank, good number of mid slots, and pretty good damage However, the Geddon as it is cheaper is a good gankage platform, that needs no tank, and can be sacrificed in fleet blobage P.S. Apoc is way sexier and doesnt look like a male sexual organ

Timmeh 2000 Forum Moderator Interstellar Services Department	Posted - 2007.04.04 12:21:00 - [2] Moved from General discussion to Ships and Modules - you will get far more responses in S&M. Also, my 2c on those ships are: Geddon for Gank \| Apoc for Tank. I'd go for an Apoc for pvp as I like to be able to tank in PvP.

DarkElf Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.04.04 12:33:00 - [3] yeah tanking in a geddon while putting out decent dmg is not easily done. but then again if u mount a good tank on the apoc then u can't get great dmg out of it anyway. personally i would say the apoc is good as for nos/tank setups, support roles and mining. geddon is an awesome dmg dealer so if the abaddon hadn't have come out then i'd be using a geddon all the time.

Goumindong Amarr Merch Industrial We Are Nice Guys	Posted - 2007.04.04 12:36:00 - [4] The Apoc is better solo, but the Abaddon is way way way better than it solo[AC's + much better tank], and the Apoc, compared to other ships in the game is rather sub-par solo[its not going to take a tempest, Abaddon, Megathron, Dominix, Hyperion, or typhoon which are the prime solo boats] The Geddon does a lot more damage in all situations. Tanking on a Geddon = 2x 1600 RT+Eanm/eanm/dc ---------------------------------------- Thou Shalt "Pew Pew"
inSpirAcy The Solopwnmobiles	Posted - 2007.04.04 12:39:00 - [5] Originally by: Goumindong Tanking on a Geddon = 2x 1600 RT+Eanm/eanm/dc And here's the important bit. For a lot of fights that's going to offset the lack of a sustainable tank while continuing to put out excellent damage. And for that reason, unless I don't need to damage (e.g. for baiting) I would always choose the Geddon over the Apoc. For baiting I'd probably take the Abaddon - the tank may not be sustainable but it's much stronger and still lasts a long time. Come on Tux, overhaul our 'poccy!
Kay Rissa Rage of Angels Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.04.04 13:09:00 - [6] I much prefer geddon because: it dishes more DPS then apoc it tanks better then apoc, just use passive tank with 1600 plates and 1 large rep. argument that apoc can sustain dual rep tank + guns using injector isn't true. Proud member of the Rage of Angels ps: i dont like to kill innocent ppl, so if i killed u, u rnt innocent

There's a difference between effective and more effective. All you've done is - anecdotally, leaving aside a huge range of tactical possibilities - proved the former.
Sylek Amarr Bleak Cabal Coalition of Carebear Killers	Posted - 2007.04.04 13:38:00 - [9] Edited by: Sylek on 04/04/2007 13:34:34 I know a lot of people say the 'geddon is better, or at least as good as the apoc. I used to think that too, but after spending a lot of time in both and owning lots of both I've almost changed my mind. APOC: 8 HIGHS / 4 MEDS / 7 LOWS 8 Turret / 2 Launcher 19500 PG GEDDON: 8 HIGHS / 3 MEDS / 8 LOWS 7 Turret / 0 Launcher 16500 PG With a T2 RCU in the geddon it can probably get as much PG as the apoc if you've got nice skills. So that leaves 8 highs, 3 meds, 7 lows Now, the geddon has a RoF bonus, 5% bonus to Large Energy Turret RoF and the Apoc has a 5% bonus to capacitor capacity per level. When you're flying an apoc you're almost always going to fit one Heavy nos, so that 1 extra turret hardpoint doesn't help you. The launcher hardpoints don't help either since it doesn't have enough CPU to fit siege launchers or anything like that. So the only thing the apoc has over the 'geddon is the cap and extra midslot, while the geddon has a 5% better RoF. In a one-on-one I think the apoc would definitely win, so long as it makes use of it's superior cap to keep tanking and neutralizing the 'geddon. In small gangs both ships would be useful, since the 'geddon is a better damage dealer while the apoc would be a better tackler/neutralizer and has an extra midslot that would usually be used for propulsion (after fitting scram, web, injector). In long range fights I would go for the apoc because of the ability to fit 8 long range guns (sure, with enough RCUs) and get nice cap recharge+sensor boosting in the mids. I don't know if it's worth paying 40m more for the apoc, but in my experience my apocs have done much better than my geddons.
Mr Li	Posted - 2007.04.04 13:45:00 - [10] gank > tank both ships have roles. I prefer geddon for PvE because it's much cheaper and what's the point of doing something marginally better if it costs 66% more. For my ratting needs the geddon is the pinaccle of performance. highs: 7x mega modulated pulse energy beam mids: 3 x cap recharger II Lows: LAR II, 2 x rat specific hardeners, 1 x EANM, 1x DCU, 3x Heatsink II rigs: 3 x CCC I drones don't really matter, i like mediums because for the NPCs lasers do enough damage and tackling NPCs suck 6375 cap at 273s recharge.
goodby4u Logistic Technologies Incorporated Free Trade Coalition	Posted - 2007.04.04 14:03:00 - [11] Most people use their apocs to snipe,and the geddon is more gank closerange so geddon is obviously better __________________________________________ Yes it is great being amarr.

Goumindong Amarr Merch Industrial We Are Nice Guys	Posted - 2007.04.04 18:15:00 - [15] Something else to consider If you do not have to tackle, the Armageddon also tanks better than the Apoc. Since DHPs are so stupidly easy to fit you can easily fit an injected dual rep tank on the Geddon. Which since the apoc doesnt have a tanking bonus wont tank any more than the Geddon and will still do less damage due to the drones. The Extra low slot will win the day in tanking. Apoc wins solo simply because it can fit mwd/web/scram/inj, if the Geddon doesnt have to worry about the web, scram, or mwd, then it will produce a better tank and better gank. ---------------------------------------- Thou Shalt "Pew Pew"

I always use the geddon in PvP (those rare times I don't use a BC) because 8 x megapulse and 5 x Berserkers is a great damage distribution range. --- Originally by: CCP Sharkbait will explain when i have the time i promise

Using 3 rigs in your geddon is against your argument of "cheaper the better". Apoc is better to rat unless you kill Shanshas, you can use Apoc in any kind of NPCs: Against Guristas/Serpentis: Railguns Against Angels: Artillery Against Blood Raiders/Shanshas: Lasers And using any kind of turrets you can turn on you hardeners and repairer 24/7 without any kind of rig. Geddon for small gang PvP Apoc for PvE or Solo PvP Abaddon for anything you want... ________________________________________ First atheist amarr on EVE

Just because the Geddon can do good damage while tanking doesnt mean it tanks 'better' per se, just means its more rounded. The geddon has an extra low, but I find that a higher cap amount more than equalizes this imbalance. The geddon has trouble running 2 reps and actives hardeners with an injector. On the other hand the Apoc doesnt have these issues if your cap skills are from 4-5 with battleship 5. Sure I like damage, but the apoc still tanks 'better' I would say due to its higher armor HP and more cap. Just depends on what you consider better, straight ganking, straight tanking or fairly good at both. ---------------- Freedom Of Speech Band of Brothers T-shirt

Geddon rats angels better than an Apoc. 5x Heavy Drones + 7x Artillery > 2x heavy, 2x med, 1x light + 8 Artillery And well, due to the 5 heavy drones, it rats everything better than an Apoc ED: Angus If the Apoc has a MWD and the Geddon doesnt, then the Apoc has similar capacitor to the Geddon. If the Geddon wants to equalize if the Apoc doesnt have an MWD he can stick a CPR in the lows[about 33% cap regen], which isnt as nice as the Apocs size bonus but it will make a large difference. Under other circumstances the extra low of the Geddon allows it to fit a stronger resistance based tank which means it has to use the reppers less, which means in a high stress enviornment such as PvP it will last longer. ---------------------------------------- Thou Shalt "Pew Pew"

I always use the geddon in PvP (those rare times I don't use a BC) because 8 x megapulse and 5 x Berserkers is a great damage distribution range. you can't fit 8 turrets on a 7 turret ship. apoc is a pve or sniper ship because it has the cap to use 2 reps or fire tachyons geddon has better dmg and rof bonuses, so you should fit to work with the bonuses given. try using Dual Heavy Pulses and a passive tank. or, stick on a Large Rep and power it with a cap injector and 800's, leaving yo also harder to NOS. 125m3 dronebay is really useful, 5 Ogre IIs pack a lot more DPS to your ship, or alternativly on small gang ops you ca fit 5 Heavy Rep drones which can do some serious repping of a teammate who'd been called primary. the thing is really, there is no right setup; play around with it and see what fits best and what's sustainable. Originally by: Goumindong If the Apoc has a MWD and the Geddon doesnt, then the Apoc has similar capacitor to the Geddon.

Gasi Kobayashi Naughty 40	Posted - 2007.04.05 11:57:00 - [28] Geddon ftw. I can tank and do nice damage on my geddon it has 60-80 % resistance with dual large rep on armor, it does around 700 dps, i can scramble, mwd, web, cap boost, and its not so expensive ship + fitting at all it can do all that apoc can do + damage. I dont really see the point in flying apoc unless for pure tank. ----------- Naughty 40 Year 2006 - when Absolutions fitted ECM Year 2007 - when Ravens go nano, i-stab

But, I'd still go with the geddon I basically build the ship around 7 dual heavy beam II's and go from there.
