The Apocalypse | The Apocalypse does not have a damage bonus. Normally that would imply a projectile weapon fit would be common, but the laser range bonus can translate into a damage bonus, allowing pilots to use shorter-range, higher-damage crystals from farther away. | ||
The Apoc is the most common Amarr PvE ship because range is so important in missions, and the cap use bonus lets it fit a good tank more easily, freeing slots for heat sinks and armor hardeners. With Amarr Battleship 4 or 5, the Apocalypse can often fit pulse lasers and deal good damage at beam laser range. (Indeed, t2 pulses with scorch are excellent weapons for PvE Apocs) | The Apoc is the most common Amarr PvE ship because range is so important in missions, and the cap use bonus lets it fit a good tank more easily, freeing slots for heat sinks and armor hardeners.

For PvP, the Apocalypse is an outstanding fleet sniper, able to hit hard out to 200km+ ranges. It is, however, less common in shorter-range PvP engagements, where the damage and tank bonuses of the Armageddon and Abaddon make those ships more popular. | For PvP, the Apocalypse is an outstanding fleet sniper, able to hit hard out to 200km+ ranges.
