Dominix:
With the Dominix we've abandoned the split weapon bonus (hybrids and drones) and moved it to a fully dedicated drone ship by adding a drone optimal and tracking bonus. We hope that this new bonus will provide a very strong Gallente fleet option in the Dominix, via sentry drones. It will of course also be stronger at short range using heavy drones. As a combat battleship, its received increased hitpoints across the board, increased mass (it got its mass lowered during the hybrid buff), increased cap pool, and increased sig.
We believe this is a very exciting direction for the Dominix, and hope you will too!
I also want to mention here that while the drone system overall needs looking at, we here on the balance team have some short term ideas for helping the usability of sentry drones GÇô no timeframe on them as of yet, but its something we have in mind.

Dominix:
The roles should change for this battleship, I do agree to the fact the bonuses should be done by drones! But I think it's time we add a new role allowing it to man nothing but drones! Each level of Gen battleship trained of would give you +1 extra drone. As well with it's limited mount of bandwidth and cargo hold. This can be easy done, and would be a nice change in the game to see more of this time of roles be played/ Their are great counters to this with use of smart-bombs and or just shoot the drones them self. So here the status i would like this battleship become.
