Hey, I would like to know which ship is better for ratting in 0.0, a Megathron or a Dominix (ignoring the skills). I found some setups for 0.0 domi¦s, but did not found any for 0.0 mega¦s.
Thanks in advance.

Both can do so quite easily. 'Thron requires some decent gunnery skills, and then you can either go the blaser route or sniper.
Domi needs exellent drone skills and the biggest problem i find is keeping rats in drone range (no drone links ftw)
As for a setup, setup a mega with pvp in mind but change some tactics etc

The only difference between GS and NPC's are that GS respawn quicker.

Well, nice hint (not the blaster domi, the other one  ). this comes to my next question, I have a level 4 domi with some decent gunnery and drone skills (not to high), I use the following setup:
Highs
5x 250
1x drone link aug
Mids
all rechargers
Lows
4x rat specific hardners t2
2x 1600 armor
1x lar t2
Three questions:
1-Can my tank hold 0.0 big bad rats? (1.5 million bs¦s)
2-Can my setup break their tanks? (like I said with not so great drone skills, level 4 interfacing anyway)
3-Is that setup ok, anyway? (any suggestions will be great)

Blasterdomi actually works real well. Drop a MWD on it, 2-3 nos, cap rechargers to tide you over when you're not in heavy nos range and a selection of drones.
LAR II + MAR II + Adaptive nano II + 2 rat specific hardeners should be fine for stuff like sansha and guristas, probably need a couple more hardeners or another adaptive nano for angels.
Fitting blasters can make up a lot of damage you lose using the domi over the mega if you have crap drone skills.

I was gonna ask the same.
I went trough Mega and domi threads, and found that alot more use Domi for PvE, and Mega for pvp.
So i guess that Domi is the best. Its also a beast in PvP

4x Mega Neutron
2x Tractor Beams
1x AB 4x Cap Rechargers
1x LARp 3x Hardener 1x Cap Relay 2x nanofiber
heavy and medium drones
Have three giant secures safespotted in system with additional ammo. You can usually SS the cans in a way where an insta can bring you within 5km of a can from any belt in the system. Save everything and recycle it for mineral money/sell the good loot.

The setups not *bad* but it could use one or two things.
1- Yes, but the 1600mms aren' doing you any favours, switch them for CPR if you can't sustain the large rep. The entire trick to npcing is having a sustainable tank.
2- If you upgrade to heavy drones(edit:that is heavy tech 2), probably. I forget if 250mms are cruiser or bs rails (don't fly hybrid ships that big). But use the extra powergrid from removing the plates to upgrade to larger rails.

For 'secure' 0.0 ratting i love the dominix. To ensure nobody's going to bother me (except of course if they have a bumpa-something) i use a shield tanked dominix, propped up with nos in hi's, and 7 (yes 7) wcs in lows  . just a large booster, ab, and 3 hardeners. biggest thing ive come across in 0.0 is 2 bs, 3 cruiser spawn and i was able to handle it pretty easily. drones are only damage dealer and its the only thing you really need. you will do fine with t1 heavies. non-drones, mega might be a better option :S, but with drones you get to pick what damage type.

Dominix is a far better ship, especially because in 0.0 if you get jumped by something, it can pretty much hold out against them.
But heres my 0.0 Mega setup:
HIGH:
7 x 425 II's (T1 protos/scout/carbide are also good) (antimatter pref)
MIDS:
4 x T2 cap rechargers (Eutetics are good aswell)
LOWS:
1 x Large T2 Rep
3 x T2 Active Hardners
1 x Mag Stab II
2 x Cap Power Relays
DRONES:
T2 Heavies or T2 Medium's, you shouldnt have any problem killing battleships with the 425's but those pesky frigs can be a problem for T1 Heavy drones so i prefer using T2 mediums.
This gives me a recharge time of roughly 200secs which is enough to keep the hardners/guns and Large T2 Rep running constantly. (Lazy Option) Or you can replace one of the Cap Power Relays for an extra hardner or an energized adaptive nano membrane, this it requires you to manage your hardner a bit more if i remember right.
Oh and this can tank all spawns that i've encountered including DG's and Officers

*edit spelling*
I would say go for the domi.
(and keep a pair of heavy nos up top - this will come in handy when a loan HAC decides to have a go at you)

I personally prefer to rat in a domi that's also configured for PVP at the same time. A drone link aug makes having to chase down rats a thing of the past, and all the other usual junk (nos, scrams, ECM) ensures that if anyone tries to jump me, they will end up regretting it.

1. depends.....if the rats stay out of your drone range its game over
2. Yes, even the most basic of drone skills will break their tank(eventually)
3 seems ok

You don't need 2x1600mm with 4 hardners.

my megathron pve setup
6 425IIs with anti matter
3 cap recharger IIs
1 tracking comp II
1 LAR II
1 thermal hardener
1 kinetic hardener
3 MFS II
1 1600mm plate II
can take anything that spawns up here :)
i have an awful lot in gunnery and not even half as much in drones... so I would imagine it is just personal choice when it comes to ratting

Dominix is cheaper.
Just as good for the npcing part.
If you put nossies on it and use the drones you're about 10x times safer from npcer gankers.

After getting to the point where it would take a couple of weeks training to get an improvement in my skills for these ships (one of Large Hybrid 5, Gal BS 5, Drone Int 5), I spent a couple of weeks training for a Raven and found that it was much, much better than the Domi against Angels.

Dominix
5 x 720mm Howitzers
1 x Heavy Nos
5 x Eutectic Cap Rechargers (or Cap Recharger II's)
2 x LARII, 3 x N-type armour hardeners, 2 cap relays
5 heavy tech II drones.
Has no trouble against triple Nephilim spawns etc. :)
Sometimes I only take 4 howitzers and instead take a tractor beam to reel in the cans.
