I'd rather see 8 drones. 10 seems like too much.
Dominix, rebalanced for drones
4 High Slots, 3 Turret Hardpoints (-2 high slots, -3 turret hardpoints)
5 Mid Slots, 7 Low Slots
200mbit/sec bandwidth, 1000m3 drone bay space (+75mbit/sec, +625m3)
6000MW Powergrid (-4000MW)
450Tf CPU (-150Tf)
Capacitor Recharge Time: 1400s (+300s)
Max Recharge Rate: 10.7GJ/s (-2.9GJ/s)
Gallente Battleship skill bonuses:
5% Increased Heavy and Sentry Drone Damage and Hitpoints per level
10% Increased Armor Repair Amount per level
Role Bonuses:
+25km Drone Control Range
+3 Max Drones Controlled
-25% Drone Tracking
I took off a lot of highs. Don't need to give it drone control units. I'd like to see Battleship-sized drone control units added to the game, but in a pinch this works better than forcing the player to use an expensive capital ship module.
I removed a lot of powergrid along with some CPU and capacitor to make up for what other Gallente battleships have to sacrifice for their weapons. It still has plenty of CPU, and well enough powergrid and capacitor to do a hefty armor tank.
I gave it +10% armor repair amount instead of +7.5% because I believe 7.5% is too low and that all shield boost and armor repair skill bonuses should be bumped up to 10%. It is the hit point bonuses that should be at 7.5%. The rep bonuses are the most finicky because those ships have the lowest effective hit points and must rely on a heavy income of hit points to balance the quick rate at which they drop. These ships are most vulnerable to blapping, so they should be the strongest against steady fire. 7.5% hit point bonus still lends to the hit point bonused ship having the highest effective hit points, but the resist bonused ship still gets the advantage of balancing rep and hit point bonus. Possibly hit point bonuses could remain at 10%, but rep bonuses definitely need to go up to 10%.
Lastly, I increased its drone control range to make it stand out from other drone ships, and decreased its drone tracking both to make it feel more like a battleship and to prevent it from overly dominating small ships with its huge flights of small drones. Note that its drones only get a 25% total hit point bonus but it can fit several backup flights. It gets 10 effective large drones or 8 effective medium or small drones. Only larges get any hit point bonus at all.
Pirate ship Nightmare, can you fathom
Larger but with smaller spikes than Phantasm
The Succubus looks meaner
But the Revenant cleaner
Seems as they get bigger, the smaller spikes they has'm
