EVE Online: Rokh class Battleship

My latest baby. The biggest ship in my hangar.For the moment though she's on reserve as I continually tweak her settings, and browse for suitable set ups. Primarily though I'm reserving her forany fire support roles, because as a sniper she's one of the best.



The Rokh is a solid shield tanking ship too, and balancing that long range with solid shields is my aim for the moment. With luck she might be capable of the higher end missions soon. Then I be making them big bucks... which will lead to an even mightier ship, maybe even a dreadnought.




Anyways, her build at the moment is an intermediate one, balancing both weapon and tanking, but that means not enough power for 8 guns, so for now she operates with 6 guns, 425mm Railguns, and 2 Cruise Missile Launchers. Using shorter range weapons I suppose the tanking could be increased, while minimizing tank can allow this beauty to shoot targets at great distances, maybe even over 200km. It's all about the loadout, which I think can be quite flexible.





What she needs however is capacitor, to which among the other things I am working for is to get her triple Capacitor recharge rigs. Also to note she's the second of my beauties to bear a Claire Danes character name.... hehehe



For vanity's sake, this is among the best ships I can figure to get. I'm not to big on hybrid weapons, as flying a Matari ship with projectiles and no cap usage in firing, for some 6 months or so, has made me fond of the no-cap, high salvo damage weapon, even though its rate of fire is more sluggish and has slightly lesser range. But when a battleship looks this cool, you'd be willing to forgive anything....
