It looks like I'll be plating the hyperion. I don't have enough faith in armor repairers. It'll also eliminate the need for two cap boosters and should free up powergrid to fit neutron blasters.
I don't like sentry drones. I'll use the armageddon instead of the dominix since I think it has a better second bonus.
I don't know what I'd use the megathron for. Perhaps as an ECCM plated platform. I wear my sunglasses at night. |

I better sell my megathron navy issue. The tech 1 will be my new mission ship. It looks like a nice ship again. The hyperion is going to be a mean brawler. I wear my sunglasses at night. |

The megathron, as an attack battleship, is going to need more maneuverability and speed to counter being plated. The hyperion, being active armor-tanked combat battleship, will probably be faster than the megathron. I wear my sunglasses at night. |

But with this ship bonuses it will be more profitable use projectile turrets (only because they don't use capacitor). And this is just strange. The default weapon system doesn't have to be projectiles. A person could use cruise missiles or torpedoes as well since it has as many launcher hardpoints. I plan to use blasters for the damage.

Autocannons don't require capacitor, can cause any damage type, and have not much less dps then blasters. The same can be said for missile systems on the 'geddon. I'm just pointing out that autocannons are not the only viable weapon platform on a non-bonused ship. As the 'geddon and domi' are both combat battleships I'll be in people's faces and using blasters. The last couple slots on the 'geddon I'll use as neuts. While I won't shoot rainbows with selectable damage I'll be doing a good amount more than autocannons. I wear my sunglasses at night. |

I'm still trying to understand the changes behind the Dominix. If you want it to be a sniper it should be an attack battleship, not combat. Even if it becomes a sentry drone sniper a couple other ships will probably do it better. I really don't like sentry drones anyway since their damage is delayed, they don't move when recalled, their signature resolution is massive, and they can easily be alphaed by another sniper.
For brawling with an armor tank the new Dominix isn't going to have very good damage compared to what can be achieved with the new Megathron or Hyperion. Saying the damage was too high when gank fit isn't very good justification for removing the turret damage bonus. The same can be said about the Vexor and Brutix, but they aren't being nerfed.

In the version I used I also fitted a missile launcher in the high slot 8th slot. So now for me I lost 2 drones, a missile launcher, and always used 3 mag stabs. I fail to see how the new version gives me really any more DPS. I think I actually lost DPS and gained some resists on my tank. Overall I love the hyper changes (other than the stupid active armor bonus), don't really like the mega changes (I think they need more drones), and despise the horrid domi changes.
Just my 2 cents. You're forgetting the offensive bonus change. Instead of a damage bonus it gets a rate of fire bonus. It provides more blaster DPS than before which makes the magnetic field stabilizers more effective. I wear my sunglasses at night. |

That's why I'll use the Armageddon, unless I need the extra med slot of the Dominix. I think the Armageddon has a more useful ship bonus for me. I don't like sentry drones. Plus, the Armageddon has a good amount of PG by comparison. I wear my sunglasses at night. |

I remember someone from CCP saying that tech 2 ships are supposed to be the specialized ships and tech 1 ships are the general use ships. It seems that focusing the Dominix towards sentry drones is not following that mentality. I wear my sunglasses at night. |

I don't like the current implementation of sentry drones, so the range bonus of the drones won't help me much. However, there may be an occasion where the fifth mid slot is needed.

I was refering to the fact that if you wanted to put neuts in ALL the high slots, that you'd be better off flying an Armageddon instead. It also depends on if you need that midslot over an extra high and a neut range bonus. I wear my sunglasses at night. |

TehCloud wrote:Hyperion will NOT be awesome for solo pvp in lowsec for one special reason:
It lacks a midslot. You either have to play without a propmod, allowing you to fit neutrons, or you play without ECCM, which means a griffin alone could be your demise.
On paper, the ship is awesome, but ingame it's easy to counter. A still remains aa strong ship, but as I said it's easy to counter. Sounds like you need to hop in a navy Dominix if you really need six mids to solo in an armor-tanking ship. I wear my sunglasses at night. |
