Because it is a Battleship.

BATTLEship
____________
The cargo bay is overloaded and cannot be made to fit Expanded Cargohold I.
It is currently only capable of fitting 8772.12 units and it is currently jammed full with 9558.33 units. |

Battleship or not, a LOT of people use battleships for mining to tank with. Not adding mining drone bonuses to the domi would be like only allowing apocs to fit 3 mining lasers.

When I unticked "Show only available" I saw advanced drone interfacing skill which allows +1 extra drones per level. Thus, I'm guessing similar to drone interfacing that would allow us, drone users, to use 10 drones with max skills. Now i'm not sure whether with drone interfacing's bonus (20% damage per level blah blah) it would make Dominix users being able to actually control 10 drones and with adv drone interfacing that would be equivalent to 20 drones, like back in the old days, before RMR. Now all of u Dominix lovers maybe that adv drone interfacing skill will make u happy being able to control 10 mining drones tech II ... meaning u'd be pulling in more ore than back in the old "Cold War" Days
i might be wrong somebody correct if I am ...

The module and skills got nerfed down. They are now +1 drone control modules for freighters and the skill allows you to control 1 additional drone control module per level...

Go get a T2 barge if you want to mine.
If you want to mine in a BS because it can tank, then deal with low yield.

Well the yield with Mining Drones 5 and 15 Harvesters was anything but low.. it's a nerf and a hefty one. Just because someone trained a Dominix for 0.0 mining (probably the best BS for solo 0.0 mining), I see no reason why they should get the short end of a stick in RMR.

Drone interfacing, 20% mining yield to mining drones per level. Perhaps you missed this uh

It's still the 5 drones yield less.

Oi, you need damage control in a major way KilROCK.
let's do the math slowly so even you can understand it (presuming of course you've learned to count).
Pre-RMR, a Dominix could field up to 15 mining drones between drone skills and battleship skill bonus.
now with RMR, max deployed drones is now 5.
Drone interfacing skill at lv5 makes drones effectively 100% better, or basically 5 drones have the effect of 10.
However, that's great and wonderful for any ship that didn't have a drone control bonus Pre-RMR like the dominix that used to be a tip top miner (only BS capable of equaling the Apoc with miner 2's and harvesters for both).
Now since there is no bonus on the dominix for mining drones, those who used to mine in one are getting a bit undercut on the effect of 5 missing drones or the value there of.
Personally, I agree with the response of the masses that they shouldn't be using a dominix to mine with in the first place since it is indeed a BATTLEship, so if anything I strongly believe that this was CCP's not so subtle way of saying "get a barge".
At the same time however, I understand the gripe that what was once the number 2 or sometimes tied for number 1 BS miner is now down-graded to about an armag/mega/brutix that requires more skill to meddle with all the drones as far as mining goes.

I did the 'math' for the 10 drone yield with the skills, i just didn't post my original 'who cares it's not a ship made for mining post' because everyone already mentioned it.
Get off my ass unless you like it so much.

 I assure you, I thought for certain that there was nothing I could find more distasteful than your stupidity, but you found one, your own ass.
ANYWAY though, since you decided to post in a thread being a troll, you opened yourself to being righted, and you just so happened to be unlucky enough to draw me again as your tutor for this lesson.
If you don't like having the reason you're an ignorant troll explained to you, then perhaps you should refrain from being yourself now shouldn't you?
