{{Ship|Abaddon|box}}


The Abaddon is the tier 3 Amarr battleship. It has a bonus to laser damage and armor resistances, but the normal bonus to laser capacitor use is conspicuously missing. This makes the Abaddon a "high skill" ship, because it requires good core skills to keep its lasers firing while powering its tank. The bonus to tank and the high damage makes the Abaddon a popular PvP ship, where its difficulty staying cap stable is also not so much of an issue.

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.

Apocalypses are also well suited to beam laser sniper fits, making the hull surprisingly versatile for an Amarr ship.

The Armageddon is the lowest tier Amarr battleship. It can have 7 laser turrets and has a 125mb drone bandwidth and 125m3 bay, allowing it to field heavy or sentry drones if desired. The Armageddon's lower number of turret slots makes it easier on the capacitor than the Apocalypse. This along with the low price tag and extra low for more tank makes it a decent first battleship for new Amarr level 4 mission runners.  
While previously all Amarr battleships were fairly similar, the Armageddon's new face makes it an entirely different beast. With the bonus to cap warfare range, the Armageddon is now the premier t1 neuting battleship, whilst still being able to put out a very respectable amount of DPS through its drones.
