The Apocalypse is built around numerous lance batteries, a heavy macro turret, and a Nova Cannon. In the profile examined here, its heavy macro weapon outranges the lances while the Nova Cannon reaches far beyond both. That gives the ship formidable firepower at several distances but does not solve its positional weakness. As an old, low-manoeuvrability battleship with no meaningful aft battery, it still depends on formation and escorts to keep an opponent out of the blind arc.

Apocalypse class: lance fire and a Nova Cannon
The old Apocalypse design concentrates lance batteries and a long-range Nova Cannon in another slow capital ship with restricted arcs.
