I get some ships are niche ships, like the rokh being a fleet ship, but which ones are just terrible? The Rokh is DANK as a mining ship, I have one just for that, it's beautiful to see her doing that, plus the skins for the Rokh are cheap. Apart from that, yeah no FC I know want it in any situation except smartbombing gates.
The Venture is the only mining ship I can fly. I kind of like the idea of getting the omber I need for storyline missions in a Rokh. Just for awsomesauce and giggles. Can't stop the Rokh, it does 250 sanics...

Armour tanks are always very slow active tanks and it feels like trying to juggle enough capacitor, two reps, and still finding Scorch isn't as effective as I'd hoped it would be compared to even Barrage in large AC's.
Paladin is a beast but it was a breeze fitting a cap stable dual rep tank on that golden God
Dual rep!? Why are you dual repping? An Armageddon with 1 rep + 3 hardeners can tank in L4s just fine assuming you aren't going for pocket aggro every time.
A PALADIN with a dual rep!? WHY?
HI: 4 Tachs + Bastion + 3 whatever (1 drone link, 2 tractor) MID: MWD + MJD + 2 Cap Rech LO: LAR + 2 EANM + 4 Heat Sink RIG: 2x Cap Rigs DRONE: 5 hobgoblin, 1 warden, 5 salvager CARGO: MTU, 4xMulti thru Standard + 4x navy multi
With Bastion up you can tank 1500 dps. If 1500 dps tank isn't keeping you alive in a L4, you are doing it wrong.
On the original topic, as much love as I have for the Abaddon, it doesn't really stand out from the Apocalypse enough, especially for L4 missions. |

Faster, better sensor strength, and better damage I guess THAT is the biggest problem that the Rokh has. The resistance bonus is great for tanking stuff and the range bonus is great for kiting stuff. Two OK bonuses but for two different tactics. And if you go for blasters there are better battleships in the Galente line. Now if the Rokh had a range and a tracking bonus, that would be a nice combo. (But in that case range + tracking on the Naga and range + damage on the Rokh would be even better?)
Yeah well the thing is, people don't exactly use Naga doctrines a whole lot either.

Can you share you abaddon fit for PvE? Everytime I try to fit it I end up doing my impression of the Jackie Chan meme picture.
I'd like to see a not terrible fit for it. |

Well it has more Tank, an extra low slot and an extra flight of lights , but has less DPS (2.5% per level). So its better in several ways but also twice the price. For a few extra isk (tens of mil) you can get a Mach, Pretty much a Fleet tempest that swaps a free high for an extra gun (more DPS), gets even more drones, more speed, faster warp, faster align and better range. The main issue is that Pirate BPCs have come down in price too much due to farming. Not that long ago a Pirate BS was 1Bil which made the progression fine.
TFI has extra PG too which is great when it comes to fitting arty as you don't have to sacrifice one of your rigs like a machariel should.
A TFI would probably be one of the most suited battleship to hold a grid. |

Can you explain what you mean by hold a grid?
So after more research on the market, it looks like Galente and Minmatar navy ships are also poorly represented.
Navy mega are barely better than regular megas, and horribly outclased by vindicators. Navy domis lack the drone focus the regular domi has, even with higher paper dps. Fleet phoons are poorly situated between barghest and other missile ships, unless you go autocannons which makes it a weaker... any other autocannon boat? And I think we largely covered the TFI, which also struggles to find a niche the mach doesn't dominate.
But again, these are observations from an old noob who's still getting used to the game again. |

All Navy battleship hulls are horrendously overpriced now that Pirate Faction hulls have dropped so much in cost. They should really be priced in the 250-350m ISK range.

HI: 8 Mega Beam (my preference) or 8 MegaPulse MID: MWD + 2 Cap Battery + MJD (beam) or Web (pulse) LO: LAR + 2 Hardener + 2 CPR + 2 HS RIG: 2 CCC (t2), ANC (beam) or ANP (pulse)
It's not a bad ship, really. The beam fit has about 440 omni tank (626 vs blood with specific). The MWD and MJD allow you to position yourself quickly to prime killing distance. If you prefer pulse (I don't enjoy MWDing around between scattered BS's all trying to orbit @ 49k) then the tank is 505 omni (720 specific). It shells out a lot of damage.
However, an Apoc will track better, have better optimal, and need one less cap mod for the same stability, which can be put towards tank (making it tank as well as teh abaddon) or DPS (making it do about the same DPS as the abaddon). I would hands down rather use an Apoc for a beam fit for the optimal increase.
I don't think the Abaddon is the worst BS--I just don't think it stands out enough from the Apoc. Since it needs an extra cap mod to get the same stability, I think it dimishes the ship bonuses it has. I think if the Abaddon had the same base capacitor & recharge as the Apocalypse it would be a better ship. Apoc would then be the optimal + tracking boat, and the Abaddon would be the better tanky/brawler option.
I've flown a Paladin since they added marauders though, so now it's all about the Tachyons for me.

Thanks for the fit. I just struggle to fly a ship where I have to fit 6 cap mods, it really makes me doubt a ship when I have to dedicate that many mods to it.
Maybe it's better than I gave it credit for, but I just struggle to justify it when I do something like that while fitting. |

Thats only to get the thing cap stable, generally you fit a heavy cap booster and simply manage your cap. |

Do you have a fit I could play with?
I understand what you're saying, and there's a lot of ships that don't really need to be cap stable to be effective, but it seems like the abaddon takes it to an extreme. |

Off the top of my head you go pulse and HUEG tank for pve. One electrochem heavy booster with cap charge 3200. Prop mod (generally a MWD)
If you have cap for 4 min you tend to be ok cap wise in pve. |

Generally speaking the T2 ships have issues for those of us who cannot urinate PLEX. A lot of cost, & weak insurance with it.
The space-happy rich won't get this, but it's partly why the Incursion Community is being crushed into turgid monotony. DPS flies around as you move to challenge the Sansha invaders (oh noes!), a damage spike or human error happens (oh biuggery!), and if you have the slightest difference in rigs (for example) from holy doctrine you end up majorly out of pocket.
If you want PvE to be exciting you want 2 things:
- Those damage spikes. Obviously. A heavy spawn, some unlucky 'dice rolls', and some action. Gaming is gaming.
- Being able to try new strategies. Which is currently verboten in so many fleets, because of holy doctrine.
Stagnation helps no-one. So these T2 Battleships are a bit of a weak link here. I don't see the problem with a full hull payout (like with T1 platignum) for a higher price here, but until that happens holy doctrine will continue to reduce Incursions to mind-numbing drudgery.
T1 incursions can't win challenges against T2 fleets.
So there is no real player choice. Drudgery or drudgery. Improve the Insurance for T2's and new fleets can grow, which would clearly improve game-play.

Begin mad about "holy doctrine" is kind of dumb. In solo PVE you can experiment all you like, it's only you who lose if something goes wrong.
But in cooperative gameplay, EVERYONE loses if you experiment. You decide to try a Rapid missile ship, everyone gets less pay out. Decide to try a different tank set up, you die, one less dps ship means everyone else gets longer site times (ie less pay out) etc etc.
I stopped doing incursions because I do like to tinker and experiment, so i stick to missions and anomalies rather than get mad at others for not want to suffer at my expense. |

That about sums up what I had in mind which was lowering the LP cost of the navy battleships down to 250-300k LP.

If it was just me I'd agree, but there are more and more people walking away because of how Incursions have been reduced to pure stagnation by the dominant pack of players ( those that control the SRF's ).
Some of us just aren't that obsessed with ISK, and instead want a general barney with the Sanshas. There is no room at the inn for us at present.
Admittedly I am about to check FW out, but it does sadden me that such a large chunk of PvE ( Incursions ) has been crushed by a group of Rich Kids. |

If it's not just you, what, exactly is stopping you from forming your own Incursion group? All you need is a few people to start up one and run VGs in less expensive ships/fits till you build up. Most times the VGs are completely open.
If it's as you say and lots of people are unhappy, this should be easy right? If on the other hand it's just you being angry about PVE players who are trying to make enough isk for their next plex not wanting to suffer because you want to 'experiment', then you don't have a legitimate complaint at all. |
