If you have time, can you explain why it would fit my upgrade path better than the Rattlesnake or a Marauder? Also, a friend told me that faction modules aren't worth the risk/benefit. Any argument? Thanks! Since you are in a Dominix already, you have more gunnery skills? I also like railguns more than cruise missiles as I get to instapop any smalls ships. That combined with sentries can clear all small ships super fast. Also what your friend said is not true since there is no risk in level 4s unless you're doing them in lowsec which that itself is not worth the risk. You don't have to get all faction mods, some are more useful than others, like the MFS is better than tracking enhancer.

You don't have to get all faction mods, some are more useful than others, like the MFS is better than tracking enhancer. Marauders are nice but they don't hold 5 sentry drones (2 on rattler with the bonus). I have moderate gunnery skills and almost half of my SP is in the Drones category. Check out my eveboard. PW: 1234 Man your SP is all over the place. Missiles are easier to use when you didn't max all your gunnery support skills as oppose to maxing all the missile support skills. But then again you don't have Caldari BS or anything either, probably better to get T2 Rails spec to IV and all gunnery support skills to V. Then get T2 sentries and drone support skills to 5 except durability and advance drone avionics 4 is good enough for those. Finally Gallente BS 5 (but train that to 4 before maxing all those gunnery and drone support skills.)
Hoinus Duty Free Exchange 10	Posted - 2014.09.23 04:05:00 - [4] - Quote Yes I do look at the price of the Rattlesnake and Navy Dom too if that means anything the Rattlesnake use to cost a billion. If you want to use missiles maybe even a Raven or Raven Navy Issue before the Rattlesnake. Cruise Missiles don't require all the missile support skills to be maxed to be good. But you already have more Gallente ship, gunnery hybrid turret and drone skills than missile or Caldari ship skills. That way you can hold off on the drone skills. Thats if you really like missiles though. IMO maxed gunnery skills and rails are better than cruise missiles for level 4.

Also, a friend told me that faction modules aren't worth the risk/benefit. Any argument? Thanks! Navy Domi is a wrong ship to run all kind of missions. You need to adapt your damage type to be mission specific. Dominix has bonus for drone range, so you can use Garde even after you MJD-ved 100 km from you targets. Navy Dominix will produce mostly kinetic / thermic type of damage. Just like Armageddon Navy will produce mostly EM/thermic. Rattlesnake or Armageddone can use missles and drones, which make them very good drone boat. But Rattlesnake also hase very good tank, so professional missioners use Rattlesnake for sniper missions and machariel for close up brawling combat. Only snipering or only brawling will make you mission life tedious. IMHO best is to use those two ships according to current mood. You can run missions in relaxing sniper mode with rattlesnake or you can gat some hardcore with Machariel close up. Same mission looks very different from those two approaches. Faction modules makes you interesting targets for gankers. Thats why it is not good to fit too many faction modules into your ship. Also if you internet connection fails for some time, you can lose the ship with all your fittings. And I have a feeling, that you are going to fly something, what you can not afford to lose. So I would suggest to stay with Dominix, may be fit it like this: [Dominix, Dominix - quad MWD] Shadow Serpentis Large Armor Repairer Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Shadow Serpentis Armor Thermic Hardener Shadow Serpentis Armor Kinetic Hardener Prototype 100MN Microwarpdrive I Large Micro Jump Drive Federation Navy Omnidirectional Tracking Link, Optimal Range Script Federation Navy Omnidirectional Tracking Link, Optimal Range Script Omnidirectional Tracking Link II, Optimal Range Script Quad Modulated Light Energy Beam I, Gamma M Quad Modulated Light Energy Beam I, Gamma M Quad Modulated Light Energy Beam I, Gamma M Quad Modulated Light Energy Beam I, Gamma M Drone Link Augmentor II Drone Link Augmentor II Large Drone Scope Chip I Large Ionic Field Projector I Large Drone Control Range Augmentor I Garde II x5 Armor hardeners are not that expensive in Dodixie. You will need to switch them and drones according to mission you get. Lasers are against small and quick targets, so you will not need to recall you sentry drones to launch small combat drones so often. Gun ship does have certain level of comfort against drone boats like this, but Machariel is not cheap skill wise... The range is good enough, there are other sentries like bouncers if the specific mission needs it. You don't always have to MJD can always fit another hardener depending on the mission. Can clear everything so fast the extra tank on the Rattler won't matter. When you do plan on MJD you still engage first and pop as many as you want.
