Apocalypse Navy Issue
RELATED UNI-WIKI REFERENCES
|
The Empire's inner circle of armaments manufacturers has long been proud of the expert methods utilized to harden the Navy Issue Apocalypse's armor plating and structural framework to such an amazing degree. Its shield systems are also state-of-the-art, rivalling even Caldari Prime's best. Fearsome by reputation, this is the flagship vessel of the Imperial Navy's elite wing. Not many are unfortunate enough to have ever actually met one on the field of battle, and those who do usually do not live to tell the tale. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Apocalypse Navy Issue (often referred to as the "NApoc" or "Navpoc") is a significantly buffed version of the Apocalypse. On top of the increased base armor of the ship, the additional low slot allows the ship to either increase dps or increase tank even further.

Tactics
PvE
Despite its hull bonuses, the Apocalypse Navy Issue still has a difficult time shooting frigates due to its battleship sized guns. Because of this, your best strategy is to focus on the frigs at the initial spawn, and then shift to the battleships/cruisers after the frigates get too close. In addition, the NApoc has some capacitor issues when using the Multifrequency ammo, so keep an eye on your cap level. If you run out of cap in a site, your tank is as good as toast!
PvP
In PvP, the NApoc forms the basis of the popular "Foxcats"/"Golden Fleet" doctrines. Pioneered by groups such as Rooks and Kings and Pandemic Legion, and popularized by the Honey Badger Coalition during the Fountain War, this approach centres around heavily-tanked, pulse-laser-fit NApocs with remote repair support. This doctrine is fairly difficult to defeat without using tactics such as alpha fleets or large amounts of capitals. The range of Scorch ammunition is a key part of using the pulse Navpoc in PvP, allowing it to project close-range damage out to extreme range. However, like all battleships, the Navpoc is both slow, and extremely vulnerable to bombs, making them popular in lowsec, where there are no bubbles, shorter warps, and no bombs.
