Ships & Modules

Cap warfare.

Mostly small and large gang, blob support can be useful I guess.

Bhaalgorn does it better but costs 1b+, curse has a similar role but is a recon. Ashimu too, upcoming faction cruiser changes should make it viable. Both the ashimu and curse as cruiser hulls can only wield medium neuts compared to the Armageddon larges.

It's a disposable nueting ship. It takes their cap away so they can't do stuff.


The role it fills is pretty similar to a Bhaal or Nuet legion, but with better range (less nueting power than a bhaalgorn, and less tank than a nuet legion), but for around 1/4 the cost. Compared to a nuet Abaddon, you trade an 8th heavy nuet and ~50-60k EHP (I think? Something like that?) for tons of range.

The main thing to keep in mind, is that while it does have a range bonus, it actualy nuets for LESS than any 8-highslot nuet fit BS (like an Abaddon) since it has no bonus to nuet amount. Thus 'geddons are best when fighting mid/long range ships that are somewhat mobile (other BSs, BCs and cruisers). Against capitals especialy, but also any sort of brawling ship (blaster boats and armor BCs and the like) any nuet amount bonused ship is going to be better, or a resist bonused 8 high slot BS (abaddon being the most popular).

That theorethycal abaddon of yours, besides haveing way shorter range on neuts.. will do near zero dps. WHile the geddon still can dish a VERY reasonable DPS ammount.

It's main role in PVP is making sure solo PVP isnt a thing since everyone in a small gang has geddons now and you can't engage it solo in basically anything.

Thank you for the replies;
I was aware of the bonuses
but not of the meta and its
relations to others. I now
have a better point of view.

+1 to the EVE community. (except for that one guy)

To be honest it has plenty of useful roles. For example:

PVE Ship:
Cruise Missile Launchers
2 X Drone Range Augmentations

3X Drone Damage Aug II's
Sensor Booster with Targeting Range Script
2X Drone Range Optimization Modules with scripts

Presto, you've got a PVE battleship capable of dealing 700-1000 DPS with T1 Sentry Drones and Cruise Missiles out to 85k


It also makes a good pvp bait ship.

3 X Heavy Neut
3 X Medium Neut
1 X Drone range Aug

3 X Drone damage Aug
Drone Optimal Range Module
Dual Webs and a Warp Scram
T1 or T2 Sentry drones or Ogre II's

Makes a perfect bait ship to kill people who love to get up close and personal with Battleship or Battlecruiser. Support it with a T2 Guardian Logi and it will hold a Megathron all day long while eating it caps and wearing down it's armor. Any ship smaller than a battleship will have it's cap drained in a single cycle.


I've found with EVE you have to be inventive. There are always "optimal ways" to do things according to the statistic obsessive basement dwelling min/max crowd. However, I've also found when you do things that go against the grain, it really screws people up and they don't adaptive to your wierd choices before they end up flying away in their pod.

Experiment and find your own style.

specific case that I used it for was a tengu killer. Neut out their tank and let friends/drones do the damage.

Get the Navy Geddon.

I hope they leave the Navy Geddon alone. I liked the old Geddon a lot.
