The new Dominix is going to be a pretty goddamn amazing drone ship, that range and tracking bonus is immensely powerful. |

Do you plan on actually making the Dominix a decent drone ship or do you prefer the one that is inferior to the Armageddon. The new Dominix is going to be a pretty goddamn amazing drone ship, that range and tracking bonus is immensely powerful. It is overshadowed by the Armageddon, this is the same thing that happened when the Algos was made, the Dragoon was a better ship. Now they are fairly balanced.
Say what?
The two ships have very different roles, and don't overshadow one another at all.
The Dominix is all about flexibility now; those free-choice highs and range/tracking bonused drones gives it a lot of options and flexibility. You don't KNOW what a Dominix is going to do to you.
The Armageddon is a much more focused ship; stay close, wreck cap, inflict pain. (Also, of minor note, the Armageddon in PvP to take best advantage of those range bonused neuts is probably going to have to stump out for a faction point to keep things locked down.)
The Algos/Dragoon comparison is invalid, due to the fact that such things as small sentries don't exist, there are less tactical options available.
Tl;dr: they both rock, :frogout: |

2 plates 2 eanm and a dc? Is not a solid tank?
It now has more options such as more speed, agility, resistance to jamming, more firepower, more tank ect ect. Its a great change.
Yeah, all the Gallente ships have a pretty nice, distinct feel about them now.
(I want to EFT-warrior a max-speed, max-gank blaster mega for comedy) |

The point of giving it a RoF bonus was presumably to increase the gank factor a bit, but losing two heavy drones probably takes it right back down. I would have to do the math later, but that's just my reaction to it. Yeah you can fit an extra magstab now but if you just do slightly more damage with an extra dmgmod fitted while losing a high you haven't really gained anything.
I'd consider the Mega's drones as more utility now at this point; this thing has purity of purpose. Rush in, blow the crap out of people, get out. |

Why hello there Drone Link Augmentor, how are you this fine morning
(I guess an extra 50m drone bay for a touch more utility wouldn't go completely amiss, but I think a lot of people aren't realising just what an unpredictable terror the new domi is.) |

Sometimes, ECCM save your life more than a 1600mm plate. Sometimes, a web allow you to kill your target instead of being killed by it. Sometimes, a cap booster allow you to fire your guns instead of sitting defenseless. Sometimes, a MJD allow you to escape instead of dying to the blob. Sometimes, EWAR ruin the day of your ennemy in a lot more reliable way than pure firepower. And soon, TC will be better than TE... There are ECCM mods for low slots, and we still have to space in the mids for all of those things. I do use sheild tanked vairents of the mega, and I like the idea of five mids. But 8 low slots has me just as excited. Indeed, this new setup will solve several issues I had with armour roaming gang limitations.
Oh come on, you know you want to fit the thing with 3 magstabs, 2 TE, 2 nanofibres and a DC and just wreck someone's face with it |

Well good bye 1k extra power grid, what did I need you for again?
Where exactly does fitting a Drone Link Augmentor cost you 1k grid? |

Positivly drooling right now. Some of the armour setups I have just thought of are going to be outragously fun.
Yeah, this thing is looking evil.
I'm still liking the new Dominix too; I wonder if I can get every BS V before Summer? |

Why is 1k extra power grid needed when you take a gun off to put a DLA on?
I'd love to see this fit in your head where you're going with long range guns and long range sentries at once without sacrifice
(anyway, with just the sentries and three DDA's you're still pushing 700 ish DPS at 45k from napkin calculations with Gardes IIS, 550 ish at over 100km with Warden IIs).

Curator II 1 DLA Bouncer II 2 DLAs Warden II 3 DLAs That is quite a bit of sacrifice, being as to do this you have to use long range Railgun charges, which penalize tracking and do considerably less damage.
Not sounding particularly bad to hit 550 @ 100 for 3 highs and drones (Although admittedly, Bouncers seem to be more of a sweet spot.) You've still got 3 - 4 utility highs, which is enough for a potent cap chain with buddies and remote reps, as an example - something other long range battleships simply do not get the option of.
Or, you fill the highs with your favourite weapon system, bring a selection of heavies, use your ample mids for tackle, web MWD, MJD , Cap Injector; And enough lows for a reasonable armour tank + damage mods.
Or go full neut Killdozer.
Etc.
Etc.
The choice is yours! |

Eh, the active bonus on the Maelstrom doesn't hurt it any for fleet work. |
