That said, while the new Apoc will be absolutely gorgeous, it is a severely flawed ship that eats cap too quickly to be of much use.


It's not that bad. Once you set aside the "Amarr = bricks with laz0rs" mentality, you can make one hell of a ship out of it. It doesn't have the most eft damage, but it has one of the best (if not THE best) damage applications in mid range. Combine it with AB and you get a mobile, flexible platform that's capable of engaging a broad spectrum of targets, similar to minmatar Tempest. I've used it in a few missions as well and it performed admirably.

Of course, further testing will be required to see how it fares in pvp, but I'm guessing it'll become the amarr Tempest, a hit and run ships for lightning speed attacks and sudden withdrawls, much like Omen can be used as Amarr variant of the Stabby.

While you're at it retexture the new Apoc and all the other Amarr ships as well. They're all bronze bullcrap turd colours, lacking magnificence.


I have a feeling that has more to do with current lighting settings within the client than with the textures themselves. Once we get lighting from secondary sources such as the nebulas, the ships should feel a lot brighter overall, though with the added tone of the environment.

Woah. Mind, blown.

And I just put all my capital in the damned Ice market, so I can't go buy one! Argh! *head explodes*

That feel when you have every battleship skill trained to V and a copy of every T1 battleship somewhere in your assets menu.

Exactly. All you have to do is put something other than lasers on it.

I would get this but then I realize that this is WAY too expensive and useless for small-gang PvP and my Legion is better for missions and incursions. Am I correct in assuming that the Apoc, in general, is useless for small-gang PvP? (CAS often roams around in Syndicate).

On the other hand, I might buy a Navy Apoc just for the sole purpose of ship spinning...

U know, a lot of us would be simply happy if we could get our golden amarrian ships back.

This is realy good enough: http://www.eveandbeyond.de/wp-content/iimage/e32006/apocalypse_1_new.jpg


I dont need a pregant anorexic whale. Because that is how the new model looks like.

Most of u where pretty happy with these colors: http://www.eve-wiki.net/images/thumb/7/79/Model-Apocalypse.jpg/273px-Model-Apocalypse.jpg

The design was simple, yet elegant. The new design reminds me of this one: http://www.flugzeug-bild.de/bilder/a-300f4-608st-beluga-1397.jpg

And this aint a good looking bird.


The Apoc of old, especially the Navy Apoc was one of the best looking ships in the game. I didnt hear ppl complain about it, at least not more than they complained about everything else.

But i am realy curious if someone from CCP can explain me something:

People have asked for a redone Naglfar model since i started eve in 2007. We where told that making a new model was to complicated. And still, the changes to the naglfar are still only ment to compensate for its lack of a third turret slot.

So, making a new Naglfar model is to complicated, but ruining another of the amarr ships is no problem?
