Dominix Setup:
5x Cap Recharger II
2x Large Armor Repairer II
3x Armor Hardener
2x Capacitor Power Relay
This means a tank just as good as Apocalypse, and enough cap recharge to run it forever.
Now, add 15 Wasp II, and calculate the DoT of the Dominix vs the DoT of the Apocalypse (with either 6x Mega Beams or 6 Mega Pulse II, or 7 Megapulse II).
My quick calculations showed the Drones will do MORE Damage! And with Scout Drones V, you have 40km or so attack range.
 I'm not asking for a nerf, but it makes me wish I had trained for Dominix  ! Oh well, my Apocalypse is no longer the uber NPC Hunter, buhu. 
In any case, I'd like someone to do the calculations and either confirm or deny this "discovery".
Edit: and drones are very effective against smaller targets unlike turrets/missiles.
Edit2: and Dominix still has powergride, CPU and High Slots for 6 Cruiser Sized Weapons.
Try this for fun:
Med: 1 AB2, 4 x >16.5% cap rechargers.
Low: 1 large rep II, 3 hardners, 2 1600mm, 1 cpr.
Check out your armor hitpoints. Check them out again with gang skills. You can't run everything 24x7 (although for a good while you can) but turn off your ab once you get in decent range for your guns and you'll have no problems. Have fun.
Sorry, dont want to be rude, but thats a typical noob setup. AB? What is that AB for? Nothing. 1600mm Plate, only 1 large rep? Look, the objective of a tank is not to defend a large amount of damage for a long time, its to defend a very large amount of damage FOREVER. My Apocalypse can have multiple bs shooting me, shoot at them, and do so AFK. I can do go drink a glass of water with no problem. No need to warp off, deactivate weapons/repairers.
^Gangsta Boo is my industrial character.
AB is to keep those pesky guristas rats that like to orbit at 45-50 in gun/drone range. Also makes loot pickup much quicker. The 1600mm plates take that rather pitiful base armor of the domi and moves it up to 13k depending on skills. I was the tank for an 8/10 complex (2 ppl total doing it) using that setup and had no problem. With the hardners and the extra armor you'll have killed enough of the npcs before you are in any danger. I was flying the apoc until a few weeks ago using the 2 large armor rep setup with tech 2 pulses and the above dominix setup was far superior in a.) killing frigs b.) getting in striking range, and c.) picking up loot. Much to my surprise NPCing was much faster and efficient using that setup. Sure the 2 rep setup works too but there is always more than one way to do things.
