So... can we just get rid of the Gallente Faction all together? At least that way people won't waste their time training into these ships.
You want a good hybrid platform? Train Caldari You want a good drone platform? Train Amarr

Sorry can someone explain this to me...
If the Dominix is supposed to be a drone sniper now, doesn't that mean it's basically going to have to kite? But its main source of damage will now have to come from sentries, which don't move... so how is it going to be able to kite? |

Ishtar and Vindicator I guess... of course after this latest monstrosity of a nerf I'm sure by this Christmas the Ishtar will have a Medium Rail platform and the Vindicator will be a logi ship. |

But its main source of damage will now have to come from sentries, which don't move... so how is it going to be able to kite? It won't kite. The only set up now that seems even worth while anymore is much like the fit that was posted earlier doing remote rep with each other. So they just huddle in close together and all drop out sentry drones. the ships and certainly not the drones don't do much moving. In the set up posted they are not even responsible for tackling. They just assign drones to the FC or target caller (probably in some ECCM fit recon) and all the sentries shoot the target. All the domi's rep each other/power transfer. That's it. In big masses this is ok, but very susceptible in smaller groups to neutralizers and ecm. Also they really don't rep that much compared to bringing boats meant to do logi (ie guardians and Oni's so its kind of meh.) It can be fun because sometime people will engage when they don't see logi on the field, but these are BS so that will give many pause anyways and rr domi's are rather expected. Of course against any real opponent they will just bring a bunch of Naga's, rokh's, mael's etc and just alpha through them depending on numbers. Its a fun but niche fleet concept. It certainly has some utility, but frankly I would rather bring dedicated logi and have the nueting power of a similar number of Geddons. That will make some cap pilots think twice I think about dropping.
My suspicions exactly. Basically a useless line to train into for both PvE and PvP. Thankfully I gave up on Gallente ships a long time ago. Like I mentioned earlier, the best hybrid platform comes from the Caldari, while the best drone platform now comes from the Amarr. I seriously don't get the point of training into Gallente at all at this point unless you want to fly A) Ishtar B) Vindicator C) Macharial (for bonus) |

Please think in the RACES before the quite silly and without purpose artificial roles of attack and combat.
This! Like I said. If CCP is just going to abandon the idea that races have specific identities and tactics then you might as well make the Megathron an armor tanked, long range missile boat at this point.. cause you know why the hell not?! |

And BTW With regards to the Dominix fit presented above Old Dominix turrets with out heat 586 DPS New Dominix turrets with out heat 469 DPS
Old Dominix turrets with heat 674 DPS New Dominix turrets with heat 539 DPS
That breaks down to a 25% reduction (539*1.25=673.75) (647/1.25=539.2)
Whoa 25% dps nerf - that's pretty aggressive. Not sure why CCP considers the Dominix so overpowered. |
