"it should not be oppressive"

I thought oppression was the point of the battleship.. ;-)

I am not going to demonize the guy. Let's give him and other employees the benefit of the doubt and see what they have to say. I'll be at Amarr applying holy fire err... shooting arty at the statue with the rest of you otherwise.

lol


i don't have projectile skills....guess i'll be plunking rail rounds at it

rokh FTW

As a fellow Amarrian, I understand where you are coming from. How can I, The Great Beast, the very form of maleficence, conscience foregoing unholy fire for fitting ... ugh ....

However, that is exactly what I recommend you to do. Seriously. Don't wed yourself to Amarr hoping that the devs wake up one day and see the light, no matter how divine your divine light is. Their wakeup call could be 1 year from now, or more than likely, never. Do what I did. Train up other guns and racial hulls. I personally can now use hybrids and artillery, and fly all three of the inferior heathen race's ships.

And let me tell you this. When I first fit my first caldari ship, I almost fell out of my chair laughing at how easy it was to do. But then I bought a gallente talos the other day, and it made fitting a caldari ship seem like a joke. I made literally NO COMPROMISES with fitting this ship. No ancillary current routers. No powergrid modules in the low slots. No cpu modules. Nothing. I was able to fit 3 large shield extenders in the mids (something I couldn't come close to in another ship at my skill level), fill the lows with dps modules, fill the rigs with whatever I wanted, and even use a drone bay to boot.

Just do it.

Would I actually fit my own racial guns if I had a real reason to, instead of distastefully fitting Artillery?

Hmm, lemme think about that. Yeah, pretty sure everyone would.

They use arty on the Abaddon because arty is brutally overpowered, and our weapons are brutally underpowered, both by comparison and in a vacuum.

Hm lets take a look... Longrange neuts and drones for the geddon.
Yeah this totally looks like a big gang ship, where a couple of more kilometers on the neuts and drones are a big factor in the engagement, as opposed to small gangs where long range neuts would be total crap to catch kiters and drones which can apply their dps even to smaller targets.
Yeah the geddon changes were made by someone who cares about big blobby fights.

They're using them for the resists and it's probably easier to fit an armor tank than on a Mael. Either way, they're not fitting a PG mod and going around using the supposedly OP Tachyon's in the blob (with the 25% ship bonus), so what problem are we pretending to solve by keeping them, and mega-beams to a lesser extent, impossible to fit flexibly like every other weapon?

I still don't understand the logic behind the apoc becoming the attack Bs, isn't that more the role of a ship that's, suppose to get close because of it's bonuses (aka geddon) instead of one that has it's bonuses in applying damage at a range . The title isn't the cause of my dissatisfaction, but the signature radius and speed that comes with it.
