Just a comment: Fighting in a battleship alone is dangerous and dumb, you always go with at least 2 cruisers or another BS... So you need to see what you are planning to do best as support...
The Tempest is a great ship but something bothers me... if you compare it to the Typhoon it has an extra medium slot but less cpu (weird), and one less low slot, so how useful is that medium slot and specially if you lose one low slot with a cpu enhancer to be able to use the 5 medium slots? Mean while his little brother, the Typhoon, you can still use 4 1400 guns 4 missiles launchers and have in your drone cargo 14 heavy drones... The best of all, everyone thinks your Typhoon is trash (maybe because it looks like a trash can) but let me tell you, if you find one of this ships with some other back ships cruisers, things can get dirty... They have the same fire power as his big brother the Tempest and 2 times the amount of dronesą

With skills, which still can be improved, and 3 gyros the damage modifier on a stock 1400mm is 8.9x and the RoF is 12.3s.
That's what the Tempest's little brother can't do.

That is my point... I know the Typhoon looks like a garbage can, dirty... but I think is a better ship than the dominix and the Armagedon and is more usefull than these ships when fighting as a group... But I guess the looks are more important, Some people will say their ship was destroyed but it was a better looking ship

You miss the point I think. The Typhoon is a very capable battleship. But the Tempest will outdamage its little Brother with skill investment. Also because of the larger shields and armor, there's more padding to improve on via skills and modules.
I give up drone space for more configurability. It's a fair trade.

Megathron.
Why?
7 425 mm railguns wrecking damage at an optimal range of 50-60 km (even more with modules) every 5-6 seconds.
I can't recall the PG reqs of the 425mm but I'm pretty sure you couldn't come close to fitting 7 of them on a Megathron. Not that the Megathron isn't an awesome ship - mount with an MWD and as many neutron blasters as you can with some IONs to spare, and you have yourself a Scorp-killer. Actually, only the Raven, Tempest, or Typhoon could take on a short-range equipped Megathron, and they would have to be equipping mostly missiles.

Well, it IS possible to mount 6 or 7 425 rails on a mega.
I got electronics and engeneering on lvl 4, which gives me 660 cpu and 14400 powercore to start with. Equip qith 3 power diags en 2 reactor control units to get over 20 GW powercore.... thats enough for 7 of the big ass heavy railguns, with power to spare, especially if you put reactor controil units instead of power diags on it. Cpu doesnt pose a problem either, since i canfit a cpu enhancer to take care of any problems that might emerge.
Put a cruise missile launcheror torpedo launcher with it and you got a nice shooting platform at range :)

All you EW fanatics, what do you do when your unstoppable Scorpion encounters another battleship pilot that was smart enough to equip sensor upgrades and CAN target you and CAN annihilate you with their superior firepower?
Scorpion sucks, alot.

Best all around ship. Has to be the tempest.
It can deal awesome damage with an awesome stamina for long engagements. It's a tactical ship.
It does take alot of training to be able to use it at it's full potential.
Like all non caldari ship, it should always have a scorpion pilot as it's wingman, if going after other caldari ships.
Scorpion is the most versatile in the game but it lacks the firepower, a scorpion should always be teamed up with a ship that can deal alot of damage.

How many sensor boosters? 4, 5?
Everything EW isn't ECM modules, you know. 
I'd recommend 4 sensor boosters for fighting a scorpion at close range, just in case he's using dampeners. Also, be sure to get your sensor strength at least past 21.
Not a very easy task to do both, eh?

If your in a large fleet you can use sensor dampners and ecm...
You need about 2 sensor booster a sensor dampner i heard...

For the pilot with mediocre skills, all lvl 1 BSs are BETTER. To the pilot who has uber skills, the Raven and Tempest. Overall, Dominix.
You can easily outlast your opponent OR backup your wingman in a Dom. Nobody really knows what your gonna be running and you have elbow room with the drone space to make up for only having 6 uppers.
But be warned... Don't fly it unless you can afford to loose it. Furthermore, don't take risks if you don't have the skills to give you the edge.

Personally I'm flying my armageddon at the moment, mostly because I spent the time getting drone interfacing and the apoc has a smaller drone bay. Once my surgical and large laser both reach 4 I'll probably be going back to my apoc. Since the patch gave the apoc an extra low slot I'm not sure the arma has the edge over the apoc except in drone bay size and insurance cost - oh and it looks better too :-).

A most battleship pilots aren't smart.
B people don't want to lose 2 lowslots for ecm.
C sensor dampers. Dear god who uses ecm??? (unless u in a fleet with ships configed for specific roles)
Scorpion doesn't suck.... pilots who don't know how to config scorps suck. There is a distinct difference.
Evolution..... Just when you thought you were winning.

Wow this is the dumbest post I've seen in a while. 4 ECM Modules can reduce your sensor strength to -24, wtf is going to save you from that? What is going to save you from 4 sensor dampeners if he stays 10-15km away from you? (Scorpion is a fairly battleship).
I can go on about how deadly a Scorpion pilot is in the right hands but I won't. Scorpion is the best PvP ship in this game. If there is ONE single ship I don't want to deal with in this game one on one, it's a Scorpion.. they are nasty, they can disable you so easy.. best you can do is load up a Raven with FOF missles and force it to flee.

The Raven/Tempest bar none, sure the Scorpion is the EW king, but NO amount of jamming will stop a continuous onslaught of heavy FOF's. Everyone in game KNOWS that the ONLY reason for owning a Scorp is EW, so after I upgraded to Raven, I loaded heavy FOF's and never met a Scorp that would stick around long enough to finish the fight. The Minmatar Tempest is the same ship as the Raven only with Projectile bonus instead of missile bonus. As far as mining is concerned, well the ONLY ship to get is the Apocolypse, 8 Miner II's can't be wrong.

All though I have a Raven and it hits hard.
I have had a bloody nose from a Dominix and seen the Dom bloody the scorpion until he ran.

Personaly I like the Raven. I don't have one but getting one today. Everyone is saying all thoughs big guns can't hurt the Scorpion coz of the jamming. THEN HOW ABOUT TO USE SOME OF THEY MED SLOTS FOR SENSORE BOOST. I think that the worst nightmare is the have a ship that it can't jamm. I am no pro but on a Blackbird it hurt when you can't jamm the oponant.
