After many years loyal service I believe it is time to retire my faithful dominix and move to something else.
I have pretty maxed drone skills which is why I have stuck so long with the domi but full effort is now going into getting t2 gunnery skills in probably hybrid and lasors
So, the inevitable question is which is the best straight line upgrade from Domi to something else, there are obviously a lot of choices and a valid one might be CNR
I suppose Proteus ? - or a faction BS, Mach or Nightmare ?
I am missioning in Gallente space vs Serps mostly and I have another toon that provides DPS support in a raven
anyone got an opinion ?

rattlesnake. if you've got mondo drone skills, it's absurd the tank and dps you can fit to it. plus it's basically an afk boat, best of both the caldari and gallente worlds. slap a few cruise IIs, some cal navy BCSes, a domi ab, and a gist booster on it and you're vomiting damage and laughing at the best they can throw at you, from 100mk away. |

Faction BS rocks.
Go for a Navy Domi ;-)
Seriously though if you train up gunnery skills a gunnery based shield tanked Navy Dominix is surprisingly good, though not as good as a Mach, difference being you'd already have most of the skills for the Navy Domi. (This is especially true if you use your support toon to tank rather than provide DPS - you can eke out nearly 1500 DPS from a Navy Domi if you don't need to worry about tank, it's kinda hilarious) |

Well if you're flying two ships . . .
Why not tank in a Domi/Navy Domi/Raven
And have your DPS ship be Blaster Talos
Blaster Talos is fun to fly (just try it you'll love it) with max skills it puts out over 1400 DPS It moves around at over 1400m/s with its MWD and you get all that for around 125 Mil
Sure other faction ships put out the same DPS, but they're not as much fun to fly. If you want to be AFK, use 2 domis. I you want to actually fly your missions, fly a talos

I took this way:
Vexor -> Myrm -> Domi -> Navy Domi -> Mach
I was happy with the Navy Domi and the 1000 EFT DPS it suggested to have, but at some point I stopped running Missions, because I simply got bored. After half a year, I had skilled Minmatar BS and T2 ACs up to V, I bought a Machariel, just for the looks, for fun, to support corpmates and run a mission every now and then.
Oh Boy, what a ship! It's agile, fast and puts out some real DPS, not that kind of EFT synthetic theoretical damage. Give it a shot, I swear you won't regret it.

Doesn't a domi out dps a navy domi due to 2x sentry rigs?
Or has the recent 'rail buff' pushed the ball back towards the navy? |

+1 Medslot and more PG makes it possible to fit an AB and 6 Guns, without any fancy workarounds, so I'd always prefer a Navy Domi.
Fact is, I still like that ship...
