Hyperion - Attack Battleship
Gallente Battleship Skill Bonuses: +5% Large Hybrid Turret damage +5 Large Hybrid falloff range
8 turrets, 5 meds, 6 lows, 100/100 drones
"one of the most lethal and versatile gunboats ever to take to the dark skies." The Hype has never lived up to...the hype. It was envisioned as a DPS machine but instead that role is held by the tracking-enhanced Mega. Encourage the use of blasters via a falloff bonus and bring the stats inline with the other Attack BS making it faster, less tanky, and more ganky: the way a blasterboat should be.
The Combat Battleships should provide the backbone of any fleet, for Gallente this means Drones, Hybrids, and Armor. Spidertanking Mega/Domi fleets provide either sniper (railgun/sentry) or brawler (blaster/ogre) options equally well. Optionally these can be refit for large fleets or all out gank and still compete against racial-alternatives. The Mega represents the 2/3rd Guns, 1/3rd Drones split while the Domi provides the inverse.
Megathron - Combat Gunship
Gallente Battleship Skill Bonuses: +5% Large Hybrid Turret rate of fire +7.5% Large Hybrid Turret tracking speed
8 highs(7 turrets), 4 meds, 7 lows, 125/125 drones
Providing a variety of options via the utility high the mega can function equally well in an armor-railgun gang or a blaster-fit spidertanking gatecamp. The dual-damage bonus ensures that the lack of an 8th gun won't hinder its performance. Bring the stats inline with the other high-end combat battleships (abaddon, rokh, mael) to ensure it is not numerically inferior due to tiers.
Galentte - Combat Droneboat
Gallente Battleship Skill Bonuses: +10% Drone Damage and Drone hitpoints +4% Armor Resist Bonus
6 highs(5 turrets), 5 meds, 7 lows 125/375 drones
Providing bonused Sentries supplemented by Hybrids the domi can dish solid dps while assisting with RR. Alternately, fit up a standard neut domi and cap-nap your way to victory. The domi's key strength has always been its flexibility which should be maintained even while unifying the damage bonuses. Because of this I suggest swapping to a resist bonus which further encourages the droneboat mantra of "tank hard and let the drones eat em." As you mention earlier, resist bonuses are highly sought after for fleets, adding one encourage the dominix's inclusion in armor-bs doctrines and may freshen up the meta.
