Hey Guys,

I'm starting to fly Amarr after being a bit of a silly Caldari purist. Now I'm coming tot he point where I am thinking about flying a BS I was wondering which Amarr BS is best.

I like having a high DPS but also it would be handy for my fleet if I could tank some damage.

What are the pros and cons of each?

Really I want to fly the Abaddon but I hear a lot that it is the lesser of the 3 choices, Why?

My drone skills IRL are not too ace so I'm not sure the Armageddon would be for me but perhaps a navy issue Armageddon?

Cheers for reading! Any useful responses would be highly appreciated!

What is the intended use? Solo PVP? L4 Missions? Fleet PVP? Small Gang PVP?

General response:
Solo or Small gang (no logi) PVP: Geddon
L4 Solo Sansha missions: Sniper Apoc (prefer Navy Apoc)
PVE with Armor logi present: Pulse Abbadon
Fleet PVP: Use whatever is in the Doctrine.

General use would be PVE with an logi present, But if that is the only viable use of the Abaddon for PVE and PVP then it might not be a great idea to get one. Dang.

No the only viable use, just my opinion and preference.

It is a great set of battleships for a variety of tasks. In my opinion, the Amarr line is way more flexible than Caldari.

Wait wait wait, you are not planning on buy just 1 quantity of BS and be done with it, are you? You will lose it. Do not undock in anything you cannot afford to replace.

You use the ship for the role. Doing PVP? Get one ship. Need a BS for fleet work? get another BS.

Navy Geddon. Cheap, can use sentry drones, and sexy as hell.

No trolling please

With Logistic support:

Navy Geddon / Navy Apoc > Abaddon > Apoc > Geddon
