In case some of you think this is a reaction to the way the Domi performed in the alliance tournament

Logistics aren't even up on the table yet and I severely doubt that this is taking any real amount of time save looking over the usage and effectiveness of the ship on TQ, which is what they should be doing anyways. The revised bonus leaves you at 87% of the effect in range and tracking you had before and the ship was useable even before that bonus was applied. A single Omni tracking link more than makes up the loss.

Edit: Math Fail, I compared lvl 5 of the current to lvl 4 of the revised, you're actually getting ~92% range

This is indeed not taking any real time. Not any proper time at all looking at the realistic use of this ship as opposed to a stupid tournament.

The nerfs have to stop now. You let this change go through on this already balanced ship. And it will be Drake 2.0 The Domi will be the cause of all EVE Online's ills and then CCP will be more than happy to nerf it again and again.

The Domi is being turned into a scapegoat. And I do not accept that.

I have to agree "Abysmal"=1500 DPS with its current iteration in a lolgank shield tanked fit.

The navy version will get up to 1700 DPs and have better tank.

We are going to put a small change in for 1.1:

Dominix's drone tracking and optimal range bonus lowered from 10% per level to 7.5% per level.

This brings the bonus in line with all other damage application bonuses we give, such as turret tracking bonuses or missile explosion velocity/radius bonuses. The Dominix hasn't been oppressively powerful but it is extremely strong and there is no need for the over-allocation with regards to this bonus.

In case some of you think this is a reaction to the way the Domi performed in the alliance tournament, I can tell you that we will never make balance decisions based on that environment. The tournament certainly highlighted the strengths of sentry drones and damps, which are both powerful on TQ as well, but it removed many of their drawbacks and so it is not an effective way to assess balance or power in normal EVE.

and a typhoon cant get that?

What feedback where they getting to start? Where were the countless topics saying "OMFG DAT DOMI TOO GOOD NERF IT NAO!!!111"

Who asked them to make this change? Especially when there have been countless topics to do something about the ability to AFK while cloaked, Logi UI issues and lack of Killboard, Drone UI, etc..

We were idiots when we thought the first nerf to the Drake was going to be anything but a long line of blame the Drake for everything. And now we want the Domi to be that again? I think not. Stop the nerf to an already balanced ship now and it won't be further nerfed later.

This is an unwanted, pointless change that further punishes those who bother to train to actually fly these ships. On a ship that is already balanced.

It is a complete waste of development resources when far more important changes need the time now.

FINALLY, F*CK YES

I can't tell you HOW many times I have been 1 or 2 shotted by Domis when I'm in a 7km/s frig with max transversal. This OP bonus will finally make it so frigate pilots are viable if a Dominix is on field.

EDIT: lol @ all the butthurt domi pilots who are sad that they won't get easy kills

Sentry drones can't be tracking disrupted, this ship was completely OP before this nerf

I suppose it is possible but you won't like what you need to do it, you are looking at 4 BCUs, 3 DDAs, 4 Ogre IIs, and high damage torpedoes. Your Mids would need to be a microwarpdrive, 2x TP, and 2x SW to catch and apply and damage to your target.
As probably a fitting rig or two.

fu-ük you - it's a carrier - it should be good at hitting everything. The one BS that's not afraid of smaller ships . In fact all BS's should get a drone bonus just for being slow and fat. I can just imagine: 50% to speed and tracking of drones for all BS's - that intie will think twice before trying to sink my BS.

Dont you guys test this cr__ before putting it out and than having the smart idea that is OP and than changing it again.
Its nice to see my montly money going to good work.

And this is what's wrong with the world. Everybody wants a solo pwnmobile that can win against everything but overwhelming odds. No paper, we just want rocks.
I for one am happy. The tracking is nasty on these things, and the damage and projection is fantastic. It's like lasers if you couldn't damp them, couldn't TD them (unless you have 5 for each ship, and they don't use cap all and have better tracking, all in exchange for being immovable and destructible... all in all I think it's pretty fair, and that's with the nerf.

and why not for a change a Really Big Bonus to Ewar drones ( because except for ecm drones , people don't really use TD or SD drones )

Sentry Drones have enough disadvantages as it is, the 10% bonus was the only thing that made them worthwhile.

Sentries can be shot, turrets cannot.
Sentries can't move, turrets can.
Sentries can't be overheated, turrets can.
Drone interface is awful.
