Thats one of the reason i support Johnny Aideron proposal, which is to ; swap the roles between Mega and Hyp then make the layout that he proposed. Hype even got High Velocity Helmsman cert for crying out loud. Its obviously not a combat but an attack BS.

Mega: Better for PvE. Better than ever as a close range Blaster platform. Highly viable as a fleet platform. Might not be perfect with T2 425's but that's what meta 4 and implants are for.

Navy Megathron: Though I'd start lobbying early. Already has 8 lows so that bonus slot has to go somewhere. The 8-4-8 will be popular with some people but I'd like to X up for 7-5-8 100/150. Some people will shield tank it but most will dual web it which is a blaster boats dream ( while still leaving the Vindi King of the HIll ).

The Mega higly viable as fleet platform, I doubt it. As I said, amarr and caldari are both better for anything you could do with your megathron. I already showed a beam abaddon fit which does everything can megathron can do, but with better resists and better dps at close range. Blaster fit, you will lack range on the Megathron, because blasters are not a weapon for fleet focus fire and fast target switching. So I wonder what it will be useful for.

And looking to it, the Navy Megathron already does anything you can only dream to do with this Megathron version. I really think the Megathron should have 5 mid slots. He would then compete with minmatar ships, but hybrid guns with drones compete with projectiles at least. Hence why I think the first version of the Megathron was very good.

[Dominix, I'm LR fit pls don't warp to 0]

664dps @ 78+12km
0.09389 tracking
133K EHP

1041 dps with blasters and Ogre IIs

dat tracking

Does the domi seem a bit low on power grid to anyone else?

Lemme guess. Neut (only matters for brawler fits), Remote Rep (waste of a slot), and cyno.

That slot is empty in the vast majority of Megas I have seen.

You got the first one right. I do have a close-in brawler fit mega with a heavy neut in that slot.

Then, because I'm a wormhole dweller - probe launcher is an alternative.

Lastly I worked in a smartbomb, because drones.

And you suggested two other options. Cyno, heh. Nullbears.

While that slot might go empty on a lot of megas, that's because there's a lot of people in Eve who are bad at fitting ships. There's a clear false logic here that because that slot goes empty a lot it must not be useful much. Wrrrrrrrrrrrrong.

Oh, that's great. My favorite Gallente Battleship (Hyperion) is losing 2 turrets. :(

Wonderful. And I was just getting excited about the prospect of maximizing my large hybrid capabilities.

Dude ! 6 turrets may not be that sexy, but it's definitely optimized ! The new Hyperion is better than it ever was !

They bumped it from 9k to 10k. They would need to bump it more to get a full set of higher tier guns on it (Ions). They might be afraid that the Domi could then fit a full rack of heavy neuts which may invade the space of the Geddon too much.

lol--first, nobody is going to fit hybrids on the post-Odyssey Domi when projectiles do as good a job with less fitting and no cap use. And also lol to "Domi invade on Geddon's space" when it is the Armageddon which is solely the one who took the neuting Domi--a role the Domi was well suited for--out back and put a bullet through its head. The Geddon is a laser beam spewing monster--the big brother of the Omen in the Amarr ship line--at the moment, not a neuting platform. If anyone has stepped on anyone else's toes, it's definitely the Geddon onto the Domi.

Projectiles are only good when you don't need a weapon in the first place...

1)You have a range of ~75km depending on skills.

2)What exactly do you plan on engaging at that range? It's not far enough to snipe anything, come back when it can hit at LEAST 100km

3)That build is built to fight what, tengus? It's going to get demolished by pretty much any other doctrine out there right now, and tengus aren't hard to counter as it is.

lol--first, nobody is going to fit hybrids on the post-Odyssey Domi when projectiles do as good a job with less fitting and no cap use.

1) nope
2) you can swap drones and alter the fit to reach AT LEAST 100km
3) use it or not, it has the best tracking at that range in game, tracks better than most short range guns

Why are people talking like the mega has been buffed? It hasn't, it has the same dps and tank of the old mega, but no utility slot for a neut or whatever else you want to throw in there. If you're going to keep it like this, at least give it the 125 bandwidth back so that we're getting more dps with the advantage of an eighth low slot, instead of using it to just get it back to where it is now.

-Domi: bonus for large guns was terrible unless for gank fits, so, not much of a loss (and btw you can still fit the ship for gank and do more dps compared to before so). But i would really like a tracking and mwd speed bonus to drones per lvl, not optimal/tracking. Right now is too much oriented for fleets/pve and sentry abuse
