Is it possible to gate gank in low sec in a nosdomi? My only worry is that the sentries will shoot my drones down, and I'll be sitting there like a tit with a ton of cap, but doing no damage...
Or can you scoop them and redeploy them quick enough to stop them getting blown up?

I did it in a Thorax the other day for fun, it was my standard pvp setup so I couldnt hold out for very long, ran directly after the pod's popped by I dont remember my drones being targeted, dont think the sentries will fire at drones, or it could be exploited by spamming drones and not getting aggro on the ship.

Use sentry drones. They're much easier to pull in and let back out when they get aggroed. Plus, they do the trick pretty quickly.

sentries do shoot drones, if you time your agro right you can have it so the sentries shoot your drones down instead of you for the first 10-20 seconds, or shoot you instead of your drones :)

It most certainly is possible, and very effective. ------

its hard to kill stabbed haullers in a non turret ship due to low travel time, but you can kill pretty much anything bigger. ---------------------------

i find a nosadomi with t1 heavies work well. I prefer ogres because they go back into the drone bay more often than berserkers i find

Edited by: DarkElf on 04/10/2006 09:55:27 I had a rather funny incident the other week to do with this. I attacked a domi at a gate in my domi and sure enough gates started popping my drones before they would return to the bay. eventually he was nearly in structure and all my heavies were gone. so out come the mediums and he's repping as much as i'm hurting. mediums gone, down to lights lol. lights gone, all drones dead, so i think mmm, convo... "pay 30mil and i'll let u live", "ok ok", isk tranferred, have a nice day.
worked out real nice but i'll remember to be careful what bs i attack at gates in my domi in future.

Dominix is close to useless for engaging under sentry fire. Yes the sentry guns will pop your drones (fairly quickly I might add) and you will be left, as you quite rightly stated, without the ability to deal damage.
You can't really make good use of drones when engaging under sentry fire except for using tons of light drones (as somebody already pointed out) as what we like to call 'chaff'. The sentry guns shoot at them, helping to draw some of their fire off of your ship.
I'd go with guns if I were you, but then I'd also go for a megathron too

I disagree completely.
The domi has a huge drone bay, and unless you end up in a situation like DE did, you can time it and take out most targets without losing any drones or only a few.
Seen it done and have done it all the time. --------------

yeah porter's right. it's quite possible to take out targets very easily this way, it's just difficult to take out heavily tanked battleships as it takes a little time. most other things are totally do-able.

it really depends if you (your dominix) aggresses first or if your drones aggress first. If your domi aggresses first, then you have 30 seconds before your drones start to die

Exactly. Heavy drones might live long enough to gank a cruiser without them popping but in bigger more drawn out fights, using drones is a no no, especially T2 and especially because you'll run out of them. Try it and see what you think is the only way you'll know but I swear by my blasterthron.

combine this with pulling in your dones and things tend to go ok. However i woudlent risk a 1vs1 with a BS since you really need to keep the damage on them. My advice is use T1 heavy then its less painfull when they get shot up
