It’s a load of piss weak crap i know that much, i’ll never train up to use it. The dev that came up with it needs to lay of the mushrooms. As they must of been tripping balls to think the whole arc bollocks is any good. ---

That was an ancient Terran Super Weapon of which only 1 existed, it was thrown into a star and then this happened… [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/1/f/1f99b197106598668d31e416ff7d5c8075f82af1.jpeg "EVE Online: Apocrypha Trailer") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q62Wk3xWH8g) ---

Yeah destroyer levels of dps on a battleship is a joke. The whole nonsense of the arc being used to overwhelm logi is just silly as well. We already have point defense on structures, Smartbombs, FOF missiles, bombs and idiotic fleet members not shooting primary for that already. To completely gimp a new weapon system to full fill a role that already exist is a joke. I really really hope what’s on Sisi doesn’t make it to tranquility and it’s just CCP test version. ---

I mean, with 8 of them, like you can currently fit to a battleship with 8 turret slots, it’s somewhat overpowered. It’s just extremely underwhelming as a single turret with these stats. ---

Though, the application is such crap that you lose like 50% of it via sig/speed tank on normal rats below battleship, and the fact that in null, it’ll jump to your own drones fairly often if you try to remove the tackle frigates. ---

Even in a rock haven the rats spread all over the place you’ll be lucky to get half that dps. ---

The weapon in the video is Jamyl Sarum’s terran super weapon, which IMHO inspired the citadel doomstay, which this ships seem to have a miniaturized version of. So yes they are probably related ---
