hey guys, me and few of my friends casually do worm holes either as a group or solos from time to time. normally i use a drake, and it does the job pretty damn well. Can anyone suggest a possible rough setup for a gallente battleship that would be able to take and dish out the damage against sleepers?
ideally im thinking of either the mega and the domi, i am aware that the sleepers have this weird insane hatred of drones..
so perhaps:
highs: 6/7x 350 rails / maybe 450s should pg allow/ something for RR? meds: the usual ****, web, boosters etc etc lows: passive tank? we usually have logistic drones with us to heal up after combat.
rigs: would rather this setup be as replaceable as possible but im open to suggestion
any help would be appreciated guys :)

That really depends on the class of wormhole you plan on running. For a BS group I'm assuming you'll be doing level 3s and above.
Domi is certainly a good choice. I've noticed that Sleepers don't seem to target drones nearly as often as they used to. Bring a couple wings of combat drones, light and medium, and some repair drones for your wingmates. Remote repair is really important for WH space, and I'd use at least one or two of your high slots for an Remote Armor Repairer/Core Probe launcher.
I wouldn't really worry about a web unless you plan on encountering other players in there.
Personally I'd bring a repairer of some sort in your lows even if it's not sustainable. Just in case you lose your drones or whatnot. As for the cap booster, I usually shy away from them as it's a lot of room in my cargo hold for the charges, and I'd rather not have my endurance limited by those. But for short trips it may work out better.

I have noticed frigs killing my drones, cruisers and BSs are not as aggressive towards drones. Tho they do osmetime fire on em.

Been there, tried that. It may work for easy plexes but Keepers will one-shot your T2 sentries from like 80km away
[rant] Not sure why the devs made them so overpowered, I mean wtf?, there is no ship/fit we can fly that can target your drones in less than a second and one-shot them from so far. I don't mind them sleepers being hard but let's keep them "real". [/rant]
I'm going in with a Mega now

I don't know what's going on with the drones. When wormholes first launched, it was like the AI would shoot of your drones the moment they were released. Yet earlier this week we ran a class 3, and we had drones chasing the frigates all night and never once did they fire at them. So I really don't know.
I fly Caldari though, so drones arn't my primary bread and butter anyways. The Raven is nice since you have 2 free high slots for a core probe launcher and RR module, and the Scorpion's ECM is wonderful, though you'll want some good support and plates in your low slots if you run a class 3 or above.

thanks for the feedback guys, decided on leaving out the pvp tackling ****zle in the mids and designating those roles to my gang members and opted to rechargers and boosters for meds making the domi a bit of a sentry boat/ RR *****

i have used scorpion for a while for solo wormholing. it takes long time to kill sleepers but it has a high chance to survive from sleepers and attacking player pirates with ecm modules.

Agree with that one, I rather have some sleeper rats with infinipoints or dropping spheres but I would also like some of them to drop as loot whatever they're using to snipe one-shot my drones in 1 second

well i could use a raven alright i guess, pretty much maxed out shield skills, but only 1mil missile skills, so perhaps the raven as a possibility?

Gallente ships are ok as support ships to provide remote repping in gangs where other ships are doing the DPS, but gallente ships are pretty terrible for solo work since hybrids aren't very good, and drones just die. I'd suggest a nighthawk, or possibly an amarr command ship. They can both tank reasonably well, and the amarr ships use no ammo, while a nighthawk has a very good tank.

Personally, I find drones VERY useful in a WH. A flight of light drones are great for both taking out the sleeper frigs as well as providing a pretty decent drone tank. As long as the sleepers are targeting your drones, then it means they arnt targeting you. Very handy on some of the harder sites.
