Megathron: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
Summary: removed "to manipulate its mass during hole rolls". One prop mod would be enough for that. It's beneficial to have AB, MWD, and MJD fitted on a rolling ship though. The article about the megathron isn't the place for an essay about rolling fits though.
m Update volume for Version: 20.09 Release 2022-10-11.1.

Like any battleship, the Megathron is a substantial step up from cruisers and battlecruisers, and benefits from good [[fitting skills]] and general [[support skills]]. Gunnery support skills and armor tank skills are especially helpful; being able to mount Tech 2 armor tank modules increases the ship's survivability.

The Megathron has had [https://www.pcgamer.com/how-one-eve-online-players-stubborn-obsession-turned-him-into-a-hero/ relatively high-profile coverage] reaching beyond the EVE player community. The insistence of a player named "Baltec1" on flying the ship developed a memetic force within the culture of Goonswarm, who eventually named a railgun doctrine fit the "Baltec Megathron" in his honor.

Historically, the Megathron was a fixture of sniper fleets in the late 2000s and early 2010s.  Although outranged by the [[Apocalypse]] and [[Rokh]], the Megathron was preferred in most circumstances due to its unique combination of armor tank, tracking and rage-of-fire bonuses, and good drone capacity.
