[Hyperion, Blaster fleet]

Heh, you said "blaster" and "fleet" in the same sentence unironically.

Heh, you said "blaster" and "fleet" in the same sentence unironically.

The fact that this statement is a valid counterargument is the main reason CCP needs to take another look at blasters and Gallente ships in general.

Alot of alliances use Blaster rokhs

Because a one mid-slot and drone tracking advantage over the 'Geddon completely makes up for everything else the 'Geddon will be equal and/or better at.

The *only* thing the Armageddon will be better at than the Dominix is cap warfare.

Again NO NO NO

double drone damage bonus one of them focusing on sentry drones talk about Pigeon holing a ship to use a single drone type.

Oh yeah ! Let's compare these everything :
- 200 more GJ of base capacitor ;
- one more high slot ;
- 12km more *range* for cap war modules ;
- more PWG (lasers eat this).


on the other hand :
- less total hp (a little more armor, less hull, less shield ; that much for the versatility) ;
- less mobility ;
- worse sensors ;
- less CPU (drone modules eat this).

The *only* thing the Armageddon will be better at than the Dominix is cap warfare. For anything at long range, the Dominix will be better (better sensors, better CPU), and basicaly anything involving drones (drones tracking/optimale range, mid slot, CPU). The Dominix will also be a LOT more versatile wilth this fifth mid slot.

Armageddon PG maybe a bit too big, or Dominix PG too low, but other than that, they are quite fine.

Truth be told the biggest problem with the Dominix, is the Armageddon.

5,500 more power grid means better tank, bigger guns (of whatever type you want to install, there is no gun bonus on these hulls). More high slots. Armageddon will pwn the Domi. It's not even close.

No, the biggest problem with the domi is the drones...

Cold shower time.

The Domi is never gonna be a Cat or Boot anything.

Thanatos: 5/5/6 100k Base Targeting Range +50% Capital Shield & Armor Rep Range

Archon: 5/4/7 92.5 Base Targeting Range +50% Capital Cap Trans & Armor Rep Range
+5 Armor Resists

Either/or: 2 Cap Trans, 2 Capital Armor Reps, Large Neut or Smart bomb.


Replicate that using large mods on a Domi and what do you get ? Zero DPS.

And, you're stuck with @ 60 k drone control range. And the base 70 k targeting range the Domi gets.

Now try building one of these supposedly Uber Cat/Boot fits. You need to loose 2 highs for drone link augmentor's right off the bat. Then at least 1 if not 2 sensor boosters to even get 100-110 targeting range.

With your 4 remaining highs you could waste them on dual cap trans and remote rep and basically get mediocre reps and overall crappy dps.

So Cat/Boot remote rep fits are pointless. Every DDA you add to a Domi Trashes Your Tank !
You're infinitely slower than the Ishtar or Gila. Ishtar has t2 resists, Gila gets a resist bonus. Domi is not alot cheaper than an Ishtar atm. About the only reason to choose it atm is that it's a bit cheaper , And, it can fit large neuts and guns. However, it will do that less than half as well vs the geddon so why bother ?

Under 40 k, Geddon hits you with drones, neuts and torps. 40-80k it can run a single drone augmentor and use cruise. Domi can ....... ? Not an eft wizard but unless you can get a full rack of 1400's on it, it's useless.

When it was the Only BS drone boat it was versatile and dynamic. Now that it's the Galente Sniper Battle Ship it just sucks. And it doesn't need a +10% bonus to range to do it.


Marlona could speak more knowledgeably, but IIRC NC used sentry Ishtars vs Goon's once. Not twice, just once. That should say Alot about how sentry sniping is gonna work as a doctrine or tactic.

dont think you get how good the domi would be if that were its bonuses...

- When using sentries you aren't moving (unless you are willing to lose your sentries). The extra mobility that the Domi has over the Geddon is lost.

No, the biggest problem with the domi is the drones...

I really think it's time to see the days of active tanking bonuses go away. They really aren't viable on ships much larger than cruiser. You can promote and encourage solo PvP and ships meant for it as much as you'd like, but the truth of EVE is that it's never solo.

Replace the Hyperion's outdated active bonus and bring it in line with the other ships by giving it a 4% resist bonus to armor. Give it some kind of range bonus to make blasters on Galente hulls viable and most importantly give Galente a ship that you can form a doctrine around. The Megathron is great, but suffers from a severe range issue much like the current Hyperion.

Please listen to the players on this one, most of us don't want active tanked bonuses. They just don't work. Keep active bonuses and this ship will remain on the shelf like it has been for years.

I get it and no ship should be at its best using a single drone type.

The only uniform complaint in that thread seems to be about sig nerfs to the pest & phoon.
Few have realized how insane the phoon now is (despite promised missile changes), and how strong the Tempest is.

I think instead CCP should just integrate a repair bonus into a new rig module so that any armor pilot can choose to enhance his or her active tank if that suits his or her playstyle.

why not?

some ships are the best with blasters.
some with beams some with pulse some with arties...

why not make a ship that good with sentries?

anywho those bonus i already said would be op on a tech I ship... but not on a revamped Sin.

This is your choice you are not in siege or triage you do not have a bridge open and i'm guna go as far to say you don't have a cyno open either nothing that gives you -100% to speed I an getting tired of this " you aren't moving " crap because of sentries.

...

... the biggest problem with the domi is the afore mentioned statement of you aren't moving and that is down to the pilots having an averse attachment to their drones.
