== Summary ==
The Armageddon is one of the two battleship drone carriers, with a bonus to drone damage, drone hit points and energy neutralizer range. It has the 125mb bandwidth required to field a full flight of heavy or sentry drones (something not unique among T1 battleships) and a 375m<sup>3</sup> drone bay large enough to carry several flights of heavies, sentries, mediums and/or lights. With its 4 mid slots and 7 low slots the Armageddon is normally armor tanked.  
+
The '''Armageddon''' (or "'Geddon") is a Tech 1 Amarr battleship with bonuses for drones and for the range of [[capacitor warfare]] modules. It is the final entry in the Amarr line of Ewar droneboats after the [[Dragoon]], [[Arbitrator]], and [[Prophecy]].
 +
 
 +
The Armageddon's capacitor warfare bonuses increase the range but ''not'' the power of energy neutralizers, so for raw neutralizing power to drain really large capacitors the (more expensive) [[Bhaalgorn]] is often preferred. The Armageddon can, though, be a capable damage-dealing ship with additional and affordable neuting capability. Tech 2 heavy neutralizers on an Armageddon can have a range of 30 km, roughly corresponding to very costly [[Faction modules#Deadspace|deadspace]] heavy neuts mounted on an unbonused hull.
 +
 
 +
With bonused drones and long-range heavy neuts, the Armageddon can be more dangerous than most battleships to small and medium-sized targets. It also has the bandwidth to control a full flight of five heavy or sentry drones, offering strong DPS against large targets. Compared to the other notable Tech 1 drone battleship, the [[Dominix]], the Armageddon has the same bandwidth and drone bay sizes, but lacks the Dominix's additional bonus to drone tracking and range which helps to apply its damage and to snipe with sentries.
 +
 
 +
== Skills ==
 +
The Armageddon benefits even more than most Amarr battleships from strong capacitor [[support skills]]. Good drone skills are obviously important to its damage potential.
 +
 
 +
== Tactics ==
 +
 
 +
The Armageddon has five launcher and turret hardpoints and seven high slots in total. Often it is fitted with five Rapid Heavy Missile Launchers (RHMLs) and two heavy neutralizers. RHMLs don’t require capacitor and take up relatively little powergrid and CPU, making it easier to make the overall fit work.
  
Like the [[Dragoon]] and [[Curse]], the Armageddon has bonuses to energy neutraliser ''range'' ('''not''' amount), allowing it to apply capacitor warfare to outwards of 30km with Amarr Battleship V.
+
== Notes ==
 +
Although in present-day English "armageddon" has come to be used for any grand, apocalyptic, annihilating event, the word comes from the Hebrew place-name given in the Greek text of Revelation 16:16 for a place where armies will assemble for a battle at the world's end. Interpreters differ on whether the verse refers to a real place or is using a metaphor.

Summary

The Armageddon (or "'Geddon") is a Tech 1 Amarr battleship with bonuses for drones and for the range of capacitor warfare modules. It is the final entry in the Amarr line of Ewar droneboats after the Dragoon, Arbitrator, and Prophecy.

The Armageddon's capacitor warfare bonuses increase the range but not the power of energy neutralizers, so for raw neutralizing power to drain really large capacitors the (more expensive) Bhaalgorn is often preferred. The Armageddon can, though, be a capable damage-dealing ship with additional and affordable neuting capability. Tech 2 heavy neutralizers on an Armageddon can have a range of 30 km, roughly corresponding to very costly deadspace heavy neuts mounted on an unbonused hull.

With bonused drones and long-range heavy neuts, the Armageddon can be more dangerous than most battleships to small and medium-sized targets. It also has the bandwidth to control a full flight of five heavy or sentry drones, offering strong DPS against large targets. Compared to the other notable Tech 1 drone battleship, the Dominix, the Armageddon has the same bandwidth and drone bay sizes, but lacks the Dominix's additional bonus to drone tracking and range which helps to apply its damage and to snipe with sentries.

Skills

The Armageddon benefits even more than most Amarr battleships from strong capacitor support skills. Good drone skills are obviously important to its damage potential.

Tactics

The Armageddon has five launcher and turret hardpoints and seven high slots in total. Often it is fitted with five Rapid Heavy Missile Launchers (RHMLs) and two heavy neutralizers. RHMLs don’t require capacitor and take up relatively little powergrid and CPU, making it easier to make the overall fit work.

Notes

Although in present-day English "armageddon" has come to be used for any grand, apocalyptic, annihilating event, the word comes from the Hebrew place-name given in the Greek text of Revelation 16:16 for a place where armies will assemble for a battle at the world's end. Interpreters differ on whether the verse refers to a real place or is using a metaphor.
