1. Abaddon (Starter)

Design Notes

Use: Vanguard, Assault (mid-range dps), HQ (mid-range dps) and Kundalini Manifest.

A very cost effective T1 battleship for general use in incursions.
Excellent dps at close/mid-range and it can also be turned into a decent sniper with T2 beams.

The critical cap problem with the Abaddon is resolved with 1-2 Large Energy Discharge Elutriation rigs.
This gives it enough cap to finish a site (without over-relying on cap transfer from logistic ships).
More importantly, it releases the mid & low slots for tank/dps/EW modules.

When used for mid-range dps/Kundalini Manifest, refit mid slots to 2-3x tracking computers and 1-2x painter/cap recharger/sensor booster.

Note1:
If Meta4 mega pulse lasers are fitted, the ship can only be effectively used for vanguards only.

2. Abaddon (Standard)

Design Notes

Use: Vanguard, Assault (mid-range dps), HQ (mid-range dps) and Kundalini Manifest.

Futher improvements on cap conservation by upgrading to T2 Large Energy Discharge Elutriation rigs.
Selected use of faction modules to further improve the tank.

Faction dual-webbers is mandatory to apply full battleship damage to smaller targets within its range.
A tracking computer can be replaced for a sensor booster to improve lock time.

When used for mid-range dps/Kundalini Manifest, refit mid slots to 2-3x tracking computers and 1-2x painter/cap recharger/sensor booster.

Note1:
If Meta4 mega pulse lasers are fitted, the ship can only be effectively used for vanguards only.

(Standard -> T2 Sniper refit)

Design Notes

Use: Assault (sniper), HQ (sniper) and Kundalini Manifest.

Simple module swaps (from Standard fitting) for sniper duty.
Powergrid limitations from the Large Energy Discharge Elutriation rigs only allows 7x T2 mega beams to be fitted.

The alternative option is fitting 8x Meta4 mega beams, which requires a minimum Squire PG2 implant (1% powergrid).
The loss of T2 Aurora crystal impact long range sniper dps, however mid-range dps will be slightly improved.

3. Abaddon (Gank)

Design Notes

Use: Vanguard, Assault (mid-range dps), HQ (mid-range dps) and Kundalini Manifest.

A minor variation of the Standard fitting. The tank is changed to full passive.

Exp resist and armor HP is lowered to release 1 low slot for an extra heat sink (or tracking enhancer).
Gives 12% more raw dps when a heat sink is fitted.

Both armor buffer for EM/Therm and Kin/Exp is reduced by 13% and 27% respectively when compared to the Standard fitting.
The overall RR defence efficiency drops by 10%, a minor reduction in the effectiveness of RR from logistic ships.

When used for mid-range dps/Kundalini Manifest, refit mid slots to 2-3x tracking computers and 1-2x painter/cap recharger/sensor booster.

Note1:
A second 1600mm plate can be fitted to give a better buffer than the Standard fitting (but slightly worser Exp resist).
This will improve sniper survivability against alpha damage for higher level sites.

Note2:
If Meta4 mega pulse lasers are fitted, the ship can only be effectively used for vanguards only.

(Gank -> T2 Sniper refit)

Design Notes

Use: Assault (sniper), HQ (sniper) and Kundalini Manifest.

Simple module swaps (from Gank fitting) for sniper duty.
Powergrid limitations from the Large Energy Discharge Elutriation rigs only allows 7x T2 mega beams to be fitted.
Fitting a reactor control unit for the full 8x gun complement makes little sense due to the negligible difference in raw dps (and higher cap use).

The alternative option is fitting 8x Meta4 mega beams, which requires a minimum Squire PG2 implant (1% powergrid).
The loss of T2 Aurora crystal impact long range sniper dps, however short/mid-range dps will be slightly improved.
