Hey folks, its such a shame that the best drone boat currently in the game is a T1 battleship, namely the Dominix. Even the Navy Dominix is worse (as a pure drone boat). The only other ship I would call decent is the Rattlesnake, but that one is rather a hybrid.
Please bring some sort of more expansive (read better) T2 or faction drone boat to upgrade from the Dominix or rethink the skill boni on the Dominix Navy Issue to make it an actual upgrade from the Dominix.
Yay 10 years! :D

Given the great place drones are in right now, you cannot be serious. Drones are probably in the best shape out of any weapon in Eve, currently.
Maybe I should have made that clear from the beginning; drones are in good shape right now and the recent buffs actually kinda overcame the dated and basic AI of them. So I am not asking for a general buff on drones.
It would be just great if there were an upgrade option for a drone oriented character. Every other weapon in Eve has viable T2 or faction ships, that are an upgrade from their basic T1 entry ships.
Only with drones a Dominix at 180mil a hull is actually the end of the line with no further progression. To me that feels wrong and I believe there should be a viable upgrade option.
Like Anhenka said, an updated Navy Dominix with better stats/more slots and primarily drone bonuses would be great and nicely fill the hole.
Yay 10 years! :D

honestly i prefer it this way and dont see a need for an even bigger better drone focused ship.
Then let me repeat myself; drones are the only weapon skill where you have no way to upgrade from a T1 battleship hull. With every other weapon skill Eve offers you a choice to invest more isk and therefore risk more to fly a ship more capable to get the job done.

You can't use it in High sec? Well, that's too bad for you, because not everything the game offers is available in High sec. Go deeper into the game and use more content of the game.
*yawn*
There we go again. Another dum**** trying to tell people how to play Eve. Dont you guys never tire of it? Eve is a sandbox and there are different types of players and quite frankly without meaningfull high sec gameplay I would have quit this game years ago. Actually I encourage CCP to remove high sec altogether and watch who will be left afterwards. That should be quite interesting and probably stop kids screaming nullsec all the time.
P.S. Not everyting is available in highsec, true, except for every other weapon skill there is a hull upgrade over T1. You might not like it or want to see it, but its still a fact.
Yay 10 years! :D

You might not like it or want to see it, but its still a fact. The upgrade to my Abaddon is the Revelation, the upgrade to my Geddon is the Archon. I don't see either in High sec. Same goes for Mael/Naglfar, Raven/Phoenix, Hyperion+Megathron/Moros and for the kind of logistics Guardian+Augoror/Archon, Scimi+Scythe/Nidhoggur, etc. Some upgrades to previous levels are just to big to give them to children. 
If you are not willing to talk about facts and what is actually available in the game please stay away from this thread. I have no interest in feeding trolls. If you do not know enough about weapons in Eve and which hulls are best suited for them, I encourage you to check out EFT and make a quick comparison. You might notice there is a lot between T1 battleships and capitals for every weapon skill except Drones, where is actually nothing between Dominix and Thanatos.
Yay 10 years! :D
