I'm please for the apoc, no joke. It was definitely the bs that needed the help more than any other but this seems a little overboard tbh.
The Rokh costs 50-60 million isk more than apoc and does significantly less damage at pretty much the same range. In addition its capacitor endurance is eclipsed by the Apocs and they have very similar workable tanks with the apoc probably better with its 8 lows.
Thats just the Rokh, the Megathron is also getting the shaft. Tachyons being more painful than rails this isn't just another Rokh. This apoc is actually going to hurt at 200km.
I'd rather buff the other two than revise the Apoc changes tbh but then the Pest needs buffing too and it just gets more complicated...

Please... 1st: Apoc has 7 lows not 8. Secodn Rokh has far better tank (As sniper ship), both more HP and resist bonuses. Also Rokh has greater range and greater locking range. Also APOC stil needs some acrobatics to fit.
So apoc will be great but won't be anew rokh. Its a middle groud ship, between the rokh and the conventional snipers.
Yeah the Rokhs tank is ace with an MWD, 2 TC II's & 2 sensor boosters fitted! You can fit a hardener!
I made a mistake with the apocs low-slots, you clearly don't know anything about fitting shield tanking snipers. 1st rule: Shield tanking snipers can't shield tank..

Edited by: welsh wizard on 02/02/2008 17:54:58 Well i guess if you want to struggle hitting BS at 160km and lock the secondary just as it pops then 1 sensor booster with a lock range script is fine. Of course no-one expects the rokhs to do any damage anyway so what does it matter?
edit: Anyway my oroginal point still stands, the Apoc with its 3 or 4 slots for tanking is a better fleet tank than the Rokh.

Edited by: welsh wizard on 02/02/2008 21:23:06 Welsh flies amarr but not the BS admittedly. I am pretty clueless about Apocalypse' tbh but it doesn't take a genius to see that paying more for a rokh when you could fly an apoc is a silly decision. Same goes for the Mega I guess (which I do fly), damage is king in fleet and that never changes.
