Just got my Megathron after I had been in my dominix for about 2 months, I must say though what a pile of ****e for its costs.Its a good ship, for a level 1 battleship otherwise its a dom with a launcher slot.
It needs something done to it to make it worth getting as I see it if youve got a dom dont get one.
Ill stick with it though as its still a good ship.
If hybrinds got a damage beef then the mega might be decent but atm its weak as english beer

Hehe just saw you flying it :) I got one myself, too, and I'm trading it for a Tempest asap. Don't like the looks, don't like hybrids, don't like 7 turrets and 2 launchers... well best for me is to just get another ship :)

Dont' know what you are complaining about. It seems to me that the mega just requires more skill training to get it to it's full potential.
Here's my set-up:
High Slots-
4x 425mm Railguns
3x 250mm Named Railguns
1x Large Photon Smartbomb
Medium Slots-
2x Named Afterburners
1x Named Shield Hardener
1x Named Medium Shield Booster
Low Slots-
2x Named Nanofibers
1x Named Tracking Enhancer
4x Named Weapon Stabilizers
My top speed is 477m/s, great manuvarebility, 780 cargo. My 425's have a 4.82x Damage with 43K Optimal Range (Plutonium) and my 250's have 5.25x Damage with 21K Optimal Range (Antimatter).
My cap usage is Great and the 425's do about 200-250 damage at 50K and miss 1 out of 5 times.
If that's a pile of crap, then tell me what you can do in a dom so I can switch.

The megathron is a nice ship but it allways take some time to adapt to a new ship.

I pick this game because the gallante ships, i picked the character only because of the gallante looks.. I didnt even knew what willpower and perception did for me, but i knew i would once fly a Dominix.
Now, months later, i have never flown a Dominix because several reasons:
- Hybrids are bad
- Hp was less than Apocalypse
- Apocalypse has same ammount of drones base
- Apoc has bonus to lasers, and lasers are best weapons imho for PvE and in some parts PvP:
no reloading, longer range with shortest range crystals, high dmg, long range, less fall off.
Now im thinking about my skill training in 3 months max, and im sure that now i trained amarr and caldari bs's, my next bs class will be tempest instead of the megathron.
Why? Mainly because hybrids got a hard hit with the nerf bat and the bonus is too low.

Well, i have controlled bursts at 4, eso at 4 and energy management at 3 and i sometimes have trouble using 5 425mm's with 4 cap power relais without running out of cap. I dunno what your skills are and what you did to your cap but i bet you won't fire those guns more than a couple of times before your cap sais goodbye.

i can fire 4x 425's continuously and have 2x afterburners and a shield hardener continuously and even use a large smartbomb sparsly without going under 50% cap.

this is actually kinda funny... i've always said that a dom was a waste of money, this proves it, if you want a gall battleship, save your money for a mega, otherwise you're throwing 40 mill down the drain.
Mind you, every single one of you are missing the main stregth of gallente battleships... DRONES, if ya don't got drones, don't go gallente

True. And with the newest upgrades to the drones (see the comments of the mercanary frigs), you are invulnerable to any frigs, except if they came by 5 or 6 or even 8.
Also, you can tear those BBs apart if they attack you... while in the other BS it doesn't feel so good to be scrambled, locked down and to look upon your ship being blown to pieces by a BB (mind you, you can always log out, but that's lame).

Putting 2 ABS on Mega or any other BS is waste of little medium slots those ships have.
If you want to move quickly use 1 MDW (i wouldn't use that either in PvP just for NPC hunting).

I hunt alone, deep in 0.0 space without a station or a friend near by. If I ctd, I need to know that my shield will hold up untill I can come back and with a MWD, it's an uncertainty. Plus, with a MWD and Large Guns, you'll wish you never fitted it as -25% capacitor really stings.
With 2x lif boosters you have enough speed to get a good distance and the cpu you save alows for a Large Smartbomb to get rid of those pesky missles at close range and do some serious damage to the swarming rats.
Unless you PVP alone a lot, Low and High slots are what will save you against NPC's. If I had another Medium slot on my mega, I'd just fit another Lif Booster.

what are you smoking?
hp less than apoc? what do you expect when comparing a lvl1 battleship to a lvl2 one?
apoc same amount of drones base??? apoc = 1500m3, dominix = 5000m3, big difference

Plus 5% drone bay per level, for a total of 6250 m3 on the Dominix.

5 425mm's on my Mega and my friend was running 4 Tachs on a Tempest (no race bonus).. My DoT was way huge over his because:
1)I never run outta cap
2)Faster RoF
If you are running outta cap using 425mm's then you must have a mod on that is -cap or -cap recharge rate.

Or you are using shield boosters to keep the the Tachs from decimating your shields.
