"probably"... are you guessing? you guessed wrong. An active tanked Absol (with resists up to 90/92) can breeze through lvl4's if you fit a T2 AB for maneuverability and use beams to hold optimal distance.
Just asking because I'm no expert on this...
1) Does the Absolution do more DPS than the Abaddon?
2) Does the Absolution tank better than the Abaddon?
Thx, /*Verton*/

allthough t2 + bs V is better for lvl 4's, but if you are command ship specced then you can breeze through it in the abso, albeit a bit slower.
Actually I have an Absolution right now, but I was considering getting an Abaddon. TBH, I'm looking for the most DPS in a Level 4 mission running ship, because I'm not going to have to much time for Eve in the near future (triplets on the way! Eve gets pwnt!).
Or should I just skip the Abaddon and got the "Easy-button", Raven?

Edited by: Verton on 30/12/2007 21:13:26 Thanks. I'm going to miss my hours of Eve every week.
I've been reading about the Raven and its "uber" mission running abilities and thinking about using a Raven for L4's instead of the Abaddon.
My main goal is being able to do the L4 missions quickly.

I would really suggest another char for that instead of wrecking your excellent amarr char progress with cross skilling for raven. you'll basically start from scratch with shield tanking and missiles training cruise and torps etc. bad idea.. better to max out the abaddon if you do want to spec bs V t2 for lvl 4's.
Interestingly enough... I have 3 mil SP's in missiles and almost that in Engineering (shields), so it's not really that big a step for me. I already do level 4's in a Drake... it's just painfully slow. hehe

I'm actually an old timer... just looking for something new. :) I've avoided the Raven an Drake because all I ever did was PvP in 0.0. Now that I've had to retire from 0.0 I'm giving missions a try.
I just installed EFT, so now I'm comparing the DPS and "tankability" of several ships. I have two accounts, and I usually bring the Absolution and the Raven (alt char) in simultaneously, but I'll soon be down to one account at a time.

What rigs did you put on the Absolution and the Abaddon? I currently have a CCC and an ANP on my Absolution.
The only mod I made to the above setup is that I have a Tracking Computer in a mid slot with a script loaded. (Possibly not needed?) Most of my gunnery skills related to hitting targets are at level 5. In the lows, I had Cap Recharger II's installed instead of Heat Sinks... but I have corrected that.

On the whole i much prefer the Abso, Mega pusle abbaddon is great fun and useable to 60km+ with right ammo, tracking comps and the correct scripts. Its the better ship for BS mission but useless against tracking disruptors missions that Sansha's are famous for, you DPS then becomes your drones.
Ah-ha! That's why I had that tracking computer fitted on my Absolution. I remember not being able to hit anything on a Sansha mission, got frustrated and added the tracking computer. After that, I mercilisly pulvererized the Sansha scumm!

Hey... What do you think of a Heavy missile launcher (T2) in the last high slot on the Absolution? I have Adv Weapon Upgrades level 4 so it fits for me.
