I have been playing since November, and have about 2.2 mil in learning, 3.5mil in everything else. Drone skills are of utmost importance to the Dominix. I have everything to 4 or 5, and Gallente BS at 4. I am working toward a passive tank, currently, then t2 drones.
I have two setups:
Close Dominix:
5 - 250mm compressed coil
1 - tractor beam
1 - 100mn t2 afterburner
4 - parallel linked cap rechargers
1 - Large t2 repper
1 - medium t2 repper
1 - Emergency damage control
3 - Rat specific named hardeners
1 - Capacitor Power Relay
11 - Large drones, rat specific
20 - small drones, rat specific
This Dominix I fight close with the goal of most cans being inside tractor beam range. Often I do not move at all after aligning. The drones do almost all the damage, if there are lots of interceptors it is best to unload smalls first, then bring out the large ones to kill the bigger ships. In missions with waves, like sabotage the supply line, I will tank the last ship until my cap is full and all the cans are picked up (or tractored close for later pickup in an indy) before triggering the next wave. This setup has been very successful and I use it about 90% of the time. The drones do so much damage I sometimes don't bother turning my guns on at all.
Distance Dominix:
4 - 350mm compressed coil
1 - Drone nav link (the one that gives +20km drone distance)
1 - tractor beam
1 - 100mn t2 afterburner
4 - parallel linked cap rechargers
1 - Large t2 repper
1 - medium t2 repper
1 - Emergency damage control
3 - Rat specific named hardeners
1 - Capacitor Power Relay
This ship is used for missions where you face sentry guns or all battleships. Missions like Duo of death or "blank" Spies. I will sit at warp in point and snipe the guns, and then bigger ships, while the drones work on the smaller ships. I use this setup less often, but its very useful for the high damage distant targets. The drones go out to 60km for me in this setup.
Most times i can get away with a continuous medium t2 repper running along with the hardeners, under heavy fire I will run both the large and medium for awhile, but my cap skills are such that I can't run both indefinately, though the large alone is possible, and the medium alone gains cap.
I haven't tried it in pvp, but subbing out a few guns for large nos's ought to make it a frightening prospect.
I also have a Megathron that sits in the hangar, its quite pretty to look at at and I occasionally wash and wax it and take it to local ship shows... Someday I will have the gun skills to make it useful.
