==Summary==
+
== Summary ==
The Apocalypse is the second tier Amarr battleship. It has a bonus to optimal range that with the Amarr ability to switch crystals instantly can be turned in to a damage bonus quite easily. Pulse laser Apocalypses with T2 Scorch ammunition are able to deliver good damage at a decent distance. Apocalypses are also well suited to beam laser sniper fits. The Apocalypse has an extra turret slot over the [[Armageddon]], giving it more damage. The Apocalypse does not have the raw firepower of the [[Abaddon]] however, but is an easier ship to skill for.
+
The '''Apocalypse''' (or "Apoc") is a Tech 1 Amarr battleship. It is the ultimate entry in the Amarr line of sniping laserboats after the [[Tormentor]], [[Coercer]], [[Omen]], and [[Harbinger]]. It has bonuses to large energy turret optimal range and tracking speed. Together with the ability of energy turrets to switch crystals instantly, these bonuses make it perform well at different engagement ranges. Pulse laser Apocalypses with Tech 2 Scorch ammunition are able to deliver good damage at a decent distance. Apocalypses are also well suited to beam laser long-range fits.
 +
 
 +
The Apocalypse lacks the raw firepower or tank of the [[Abaddon]], but with its better tracking it can fight well against signature-tanking cruisers that would normally be difficult for battleships to hit.
 +
 
 +
== Skills ==
 +
As a [[Tech 1]] [[Battleship]], the Apocalypse deserves good general support skills as well as all of the skills for a Tech 2 tank. Tech 2 weapons are very expensive to skill into and are not essential, but are very helpful, as they give a MASSIVE boost to DPS.
 +
* {{Sk|EM Armor Compensation}}, {{Sk|Thermal Armor Compensation}}, {{Sk|Kinetic Armor Compensation}}, and {{Sk|Explosive Armor Compensation}} to at least III to boost your resists.
 +
* {{Sk|Hull Upgrades}} to V to make use of the Tech 2 energized membranes, armor plates, armor hardeners, damage control, and armor coatings.
 +
* {{Sk|Mechanics|V}} to use the tech 2 armor repairers.
 +
* {{Sk|Repair Systems}} to IV to use the tech 2 armor repairers and to reduce their capacitor use.
 +
* All [[gunnery]] support skills to IV or higher.
 +
* All of the basic fitting and capacitor skills.
 +

== Notes ==
''Further information about additional or recommended skills to pilot Apocalypse for a specific or it's common role(s) can be written here.''
+
"Apocalypse" comes from an early Greek word meaning "revelation". This word begins the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, and so the Book of Revelation sometimes came to be called the "Apocalypse". Since Revelation describes the end of the world, the word "apocalypse" gradually developed its modern association with doom and final endings.

Summary

The Apocalypse (or "Apoc") is a Tech 1 Amarr battleship. It is the ultimate entry in the Amarr line of sniping laserboats after the Tormentor, Coercer, Omen, and Harbinger. It has bonuses to large energy turret optimal range and tracking speed. Together with the ability of energy turrets to switch crystals instantly, these bonuses make it perform well at different engagement ranges. Pulse laser Apocalypses with Tech 2 Scorch ammunition are able to deliver good damage at a decent distance. Apocalypses are also well suited to beam laser long-range fits.

The Apocalypse lacks the raw firepower or tank of the Abaddon, but with its better tracking it can fight well against signature-tanking cruisers that would normally be difficult for battleships to hit.

Skills

As a Tech 1 Battleship, the Apocalypse deserves good general support skills as well as all of the skills for a Tech 2 tank. Tech 2 weapons are very expensive to skill into and are not essential, but are very helpful, as they give a MASSIVE boost to DPS.

Tactics

Notes

"Apocalypse" comes from an early Greek word meaning "revelation". This word begins the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, and so the Book of Revelation sometimes came to be called the "Apocalypse". Since Revelation describes the end of the world, the word "apocalypse" gradually developed its modern association with doom and final endings.
