I really don't think the domi is OP but it is one of the better battleships in the game.
I think the armageddon will be buffed to me more like the domi soon.

There are all types of counters to a domi, its heavy reliance on drones can be exploited to great effect by adversaries, and while a 7 slot tank is nice, it doesn't receive any bonuses, and can have cap issues if you try to use the utility mids/highs.

I don't know about empire space, but they seem extremely rare in 0.0, and aren't in the top 20 killers http://eve-kill.net/?a=top20 which suggests to me that players don't think they are as overpowered as the op does.

When it's about large fleet engagements, Domi is really pretty useless ships. Bombs (both launchable and smart) will put a strong stress on them. That's why it's so rare in 0.0, I think. And they will be useless, no matter buff or nerf them - just not their role.

But for smaller gangs it is the best BS, if we dont take pirate battleships into consideration. In PVE it rocks as well, again not that cool as Mach, but still. Once again, two T2-fitted Domies in spidertank can survive even C4 anomalies and burn sleepers with as much as 1000 DPS (combined) at 100 km.

Don't you think Dominix is OP?
First of all, it can bring versatile damage GÇô it can hit to sniper distance, and a moment later it hunts fast frigates on low orbit. ItGÇÖs DPS is also very high GÇô about 500 @ 100 km optimal is easily achieved.
It can tank well with 7 low slots. And they can tank super well, if in spider.
While being mostly armor-tanked, it has a crap load of med slots. Sometimes they are used for omni-links, but thatGÇÖs not mandatory. Capacitor, ECM, targeting, propulsion, ... too much versatility.
The most important, imo, is that in order to bring good enough DPS you donGÇÖt need high slots at all. It means 6 utility slots, have you seen something like that at any other subcap ship?! But they are not utility in fact, you can install guns and get just ridiculous DPS! Otherwise GÇô neuts, spidertank, smarties, whatever you like.
And that is one of the cheapest battleships.

The verdict is clear GÇô totally OP. I hate to say that, because I have one of my toons perfectly trained for it. But the truth is, it needs a big deal of balancing.
As a first step, IGÇÖd suggest GÇ£inherent omni-linkGÇ¥, that is to remove 1 med slot and introduce special ability for drone optimal and tracking (and reduce CPU appropriately). Any other ideas?

he fact one ship is better for a specific purpose doesnt mean it is op, its the nature of the game including 4 races and hundreds of different ships.

And no, it's not a trolling. You cannot use Dominix in blob, and if you try - your FC will reasonably consider you're insane. Every other role - and it fits there great.

Alright, could you give me an example where another BS performs better?

Sure, but the thing is there are too many "specific" purposes for the Domi. It's too versatile, that's the problem.

Once again, poke an example into me - where another BS performs better?

Any perceived overpoweredness is countered by its ugliness.

Jeesh-louise.

This.

Those spidertanking domis don't move too well. And good luck running a sleeper site with drones.

- Ganking (suicide?): During Goons campaign against blue ice miners, they tried to pop my Hulk. With a battleship. It was - Dominix. Also they failed (I used rr), it was a nice try indeed, probably the best.
- Snipping: 500 DPS @ 100 km, plus decent tank - no way Mael can outperform that. Maybe you mean alpha-striking? Is it ever used outside blobs, since introduction of Tornado? Well... maybe, not sure.
- Kiting: versus NPC or in PVP? In PVE you cant get better kiter - just agro everything and run away, drones will do the job. In PVP I've never heard of kiting BS, but once again, might be just my fault.
- Brawler: cannot agree on Megatron, but yes for Rokh, it's uber - in fact I start thinking it's even better than Vindi, especially with those ASBs.
- Scorpion - the pro in EWAR, agree.
- Typhoon - a very good example how a versatile ship should be. The drone bay is not large at all, so it has to rely on turrets/launchers to be competitive. This mean only 3 free high slots, and at least a couple of low/med slots are busy with guns support modules. It brings phoon on a level lower than Domi, which is just fine - and I like that ship.

Alright, if you insist Domi is not OP - it's even better for me. I'll train my other toon for it as well, and will be flying them happily without fear of being nerfed anytime soon. Thanks for opinions, anyway!

How should they nerf it? Are we talking about removing tank? Are we talking removing drone capaity/bandwidth? Are we talking about removing high slots or mid slots?
