Caldari Tier 3: Battleship

Rokh class battleship are the newest commision battleship in Caldari State. It spot 8 turret slot, 6 med slot and 5 low slot. It gives this ship the long awaited fleet ship for caldari pilot. Although not as powerful as a Gallente Megathrone class battleship, Rokh possess insane tank for a turret ship. This ship can take hell out of punishment. The trait of caldari hybrid ship is also found in Rokh, even with Large Iron Ammunition, a tech 1 long range hybrid ammo, it capable to dish out damage at 160km. That is astonishing range for tech 1 modules use here. Using tech 2 its the only ship firing at 200km range and beyond.

Its weakness shown today to me after i engage 1 dominix class battleship, 1 hurricane class battlecruiser and several interceptor. The dominix able to take damage from my Rokh steadily without problem. Although it is known that a dominix can tank very good. My comment for the rokh although its not powerful but its indeed versatile, able to dish out damage at any usual range. I'm very satisfied of it.

A weeks ago, i also engage pirate couple using drake and rupture with armageddon. Although Serenity Celestine, a CVA pilot is tanking the fire of those two couple using Cerebus class HAC, i find my ship do good damage due pulse laser and heavy drone. I'm rejoice about this because several days before that, i found my firepower not sufficient to damage an Eos Command Ship. Now with these two good ship i will try to contribute to assist friendly elements in Providence in any way i can.

Retribution

Hehe. after a week getting the vengeance, i bought a retribution. Aside from nicer looking ship its also a freaking damage dealer for an Assault Frigate class. Its a way ahead of vengeance in terms of dps. The only lacking in this ship is this ship can' t fit a full tackling gear which is a webber or warp jammer. It has to be one of it and even then there's also the speed mod. These make it only effective in gang or fleet. The solo ability of the vengeance is not available in this ship. Possessing 4 turret slot its one of the amarr ship worth flying for ppl who loves damage. My current fitting is:

4x Dual Light Pulse II
1x Small NOS

1x Webber (or change to Warp Distruptor for fleet operation)

1x SAR, 1x Tracking Enhancer, 1x Heat Sink, 1x EANM II, 1x Thermal Membrane.

If u encounter fast frigate to destroy you, you need to remember one thing. Let them come to you. When that happen they will be sorry.
