Linna, here's a brief recap of the above. There are 2 Domi approaches - (i) lazy, tanked, AFK large drone and (ii) centries.
The latter method lets u aggro, overtank and deploy heavy II drones and let them do the work. You tank, salvage, drink tea. Tank comes 1st in fitting. So you'll have salvagers, DLA, NOS in hi slots. This seems to be a more traditional approach.
The former method is an "active" playstyle - you deploy centries and actually shoot stuff yourself with guns. tank and guns are balanced in fitting. So you'll have large guns and DLA in hi slots. This seems to be a less common approach.
Domi is primarily a armor tanker, you'd need mid slots for both guns and drones in terms of tracking enhancement and u have more low slots anyway.
Hybrids vs arty is a holywar subject I suppose, but why waste a bonuse for Domi? IME 425 hybrids kill stuff just fine 10-130 km depending in size/transversal. Neither are missles, and neither r going to instapop BS, so I'd stick with hybrids.
Consider where r u going *after* L4 missions - this helps in deciding which approach to choose from. E.g. maxing out on large guns and Gall BS - boxes u in for 2-3 months; maxing out heavy drones - a bit more versatile as u can use them with other ships; maxing out centries - dictates your tactics more compared to heavy 2.
Your choice, but here's a layout my alt is using for L4 - suits his style:
high - 4x425 gauss / 2 DLA (use larger guns - optimal of more damaging ammo is increased)
med - 2 omni / Med Cap Booster / tracking comp with tracking script
low - 3 mission-specific hardeners / LAR / DCU / Magstab / Tracking
5x long range centries (primarily wardens)/ 5x garde / 5x small drones
add sensor booster / caprech / to taste.
use low slot tracking for increased optimal (like 40km for antimatter)
All L4 missions are possible, rare rewarps if many gates (run out of capbooster ammo)
BS are killed by gardes/wardens and antimatter/plutonium - starting @ 85 km
small stuff is killed @70-130 km with wardens and tungsten
Hybrids actually instapop frigs/cruisers.
By parallel shooting 2 targets at range with guns and drones I kinda see that drones do a bit more damage - maybe by 25% (they are a lot faster, higher ROF)
my alt is about 11MM SP with mostly drones and guns and ships.
hope this helps
