I am thinking of trying another races battleship. Right now I have an Armageddon, and I was thinking of a typhoon or a dominix. Which is more worth it? Thanks.

I have found the Dominix to be an outstanding battleship to own. It is able to do just about anything I want. I PvP with it, NPC with it and some people even mine with it!!! Without knowing exactly what you want it for, it's a little hard to recommend specifics, but it is a very useful nugget.
Some people call it the "jack of all trades, master of none", however I think that due to it's flexibility its impossible to work out how an enemy Domi will be fitted.
Yes - a Scorp is better at EW, an Apoc is a better tank and a Geddon is a better gank. But when you fly your shiny new Raven into a fight with a Dominix, which will it be??
I have not flown a Typhoon before, so cannot comment there, but a Domi comes highly recommended -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia

Domi is great as long as you have the drones skills to go with it, a phoon is not bad eather as it's the fastest BS and tanks decent enough. I'd go Domi myself

Dom can do anything, and its a great npc hunter too. I trained for about a week to use it good. Though of course I already had decent skills except for large hybrid and gallente battleship.
Problem is it is incredibly ugly, but its cheap.

Both work there, altho the typhoon has ample missile points, and the dom has none.
Missiles > drones against npc frigs and cruisers tbh. But a fully equipped mission Dominix can be just as good, just needs more tactics.

Raven will WTFpwn a Dom or Phoon, but it will take a bit of time.

Nah, a well set up domi can take a raven most of the time.
I like the domi, more then a phoon. Its cheaper, and imo a better ship. That being said I have lots of experiances in a domi and very few with a phoon.

Maybe he was referring to skill training for a raven when he said that "it will take a bit of time".

Thank You Liu. I was reffering to the sp training. The Doms Drones will be nasty especially if the Doms uses wasps. But unless you have nasty gunnery skills I doubt the Dom can take down a Raven. I now as far as the doms tank it seriously depends on skills and set up and a 1v1 is pointless.

A dominix can tank, and I mean tank... ive beaten on one before that took me and like 6 of my buddies about 3-4minutes to take him out and we had to constantly warp out and back in because our frigates where getting nossed. (1 geddon and 1 diemos were attacking it btw...)
The pilot made me see that the dominix is not a ship to be taken lightly, it can kill you. The dominix is one of the best 1v1 ships out there because of its crazy good slot configuration. Its like that box of chocolates that forest gump was talking about :p ~~ Hyey
I just payed 15 dollars this month just to be able to respond on the forums... stupid cancellation error.

I dunno what you define as nasty gunnery, but I have ~1.7 mil in gunnery. Im no noob but I am certainly not up there with the best skills wise.
I jumped on SiSi last night to test out some setups, and confirmed my suspicions about the Dominix being nice and uber... I was able to take down 2 shield tanked Ravens and a close range Megathron in 1v1's (separately, ofc). Went into the Free For All with a squad of 3 Dominix and caused a gang of 2 tempests and a Raven to warp out with heavy damage. The same setup was used the entire time. -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia

yea, domi's are pretty good, but no matter how you set them up, in the end you can't take down a raven pilot that knows how to fly and setup a raven. Have fun shredding up the dumbass raven pilots that tank though, i'm sure a 'priest' setup could drop those fast.

I'm just not convinced
But thanks for the reminder - I havent tried the priest-style setup for a while (thats the one with cap drainers, right?). -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia
