The domi is an incredibly popular battleship... but the grand majority of players regard her (and a couple of other bs) as hideous malformed monstrosities in the looks department. On teamspeak.. people call my domi "the walrus" and other things that are slightly too rude to post.
Thing is.. the Brutix, which is a very good looking ship, shares an obvious design lineage with the Dom. The Brutix has an even larger forehead in comparison to the rest of the ship, but this is offset by the large 'chin', which gives the Brutix a very aggressive visage. Additionally, they both share a tapered stern, but the straight back of the Brutix makes this feature much more appealing.
So I sat down today and got sketching. I took a Dominix and added a chin and raised the stern to give her a straight back. I kept most of the Domi intact so she would be familiar, but I feel the change makes her look a lot better. Please tell me what you think.

Eh, I don't think the domi should ever be "good lookin". She's a brute, and if you set her up right she can tank with the best of them. I remember having a good laugh in TS as a few corpmates and I had a few Domi's together and someone kindly referred to us as "The @$$face Fleet". As it's supposed to be a ship from a different era in Gallente history I think the looks are just fine. The chin extension looks good though, nice drawing.

a lot better, maybe if the "chin" came down straight a bit it would look scarier =] Your signature is too large. Please see the Forum Rules for the limits - Serathu ([email protected]) |

not bad looking, but it doesn't have that Gallente feel to it, think it's the sharp corners and rivets

Edited by: Luthair StoneDog on 05/08/2006 20:54:47 Hey don't worry.. I love my domi. Though when more than one gets together.. we usually get a "OH GOD! Walrus orgy!" or something similar.
Just for comparison.. here is a wee screeny of the hambeast in her present form.

You somehow made a fugly ship just ugly. You are a crazy man. In the fluff or whatever you want to call it, it says the Dom is old and it has creaky knees. Maybe it could be implimented by some sort of fluff upgrade during the jump to kali, should this happen.

I like the little 'jut' in the chin you got there, looks cool. On the other hand, its a wee bit sleek looking for the domi. When they come out with the T2 battleships I'm sure it will get a pretty cool facelift.

Somehow I don't see why an ancient ship should look "beautiful," its a very utilitarian ship, and its looks should reflect that. Oh, and the Obelisk also closely resembles the Brutix.

Edited by: Noriath on 05/08/2006 22:00:00 I think the Dominix is pretty cool as it is, except it would be a lot better if the top of it was straight, and not slanted downwards so much, because that's what gives the ship the completly deformed silly appearance... Also it should be bigger and have a giant drone bay right in the front, possibly with little moving robot arms in it for moving and storing drones, now that would be sweet...
Dominix
Here is a sketch I did for a redesign, like the original posters sketch the top of the ship is acctually paralell to its flightpath so to speak.
DominixMkII
And then there is my really old design for the Dominix MkII which I did when there was still talk about more Tier 1 ships being added to the game so every race would get an EW/Utility battleship... Too bad every race except Caldari got something they already have instead with the Tier 3 ships...

Please, leave it. Gallente have good looking ships as it is. Please, think of the caldari. What do we have?
Buzzard is cool, condor/crow are cool, kestrel, merlin and caracal aren't bad. That is our entire portfolio of nice looking ships.
Gallente have a lot of nice ships, not to mention the best looking ship in the game (nyx).

The dominix is a beautiful beast.
She is simply misunderstood and unconventional. Don't try and make her conform to your limited, predictable and pedestrian tastes.
Let something different survive for those of us who see her true beauty.

Caldari look appropriatly for their racial characteristic (grey cardboardbox-like).

And the Caracal is... phui, not a good looking ship at that! Boy!

I still hold that it's the GALLENTE SHUTTLE that's the most beautiful ship in game.

I though that at first, but it's grown on me. Probably spending so long in a cerb.

Have you ever seen a nyx in combat? I swear I felt like jerking off after baryon ganked me with his on SiSi in RMR testing.

I wish the dominix looked more like the rogue drone dominix. Maybe if the face was a touch more skull like, instead of just wierd lookin.

Edited by: Mr Peanut on 06/08/2006 03:11:02 I like the Domi. It has a cute look in an immature child-like way (and I'm embarassed to refer to most things as "cute"). It doesn't look mean, but IMO it is adorable.

The drawing is cool . . . but it makes the Domi look like an upside down boot . . .
IÆve always seen the Domi look as reflective of its massive drone bay making it swell. Right now it looks like a pile of manure . . . which is appropriate since it is constantly swarming with fly like drones . . .
While making it look like a boot would still work (smelly boot swarming with flies), I feel any attempt to beautify the thing would be rather

Face it guys: they scanned in an athletic shoe, changed the colors, added some bulges and doodads and called it the Dominix.
I have more time in a Dominix than any other ship, but I have to agree its ugly.
I like that it's an ugly shoe: it keeps people underestimating us until we STOMP on them.

Has anyone noticed the small poorly 'patched' area on the drives side right at 11oclock to the 'ear' area? Or is this the only model I can get. Damn used Domi salesman!
