is it a good ship for missioning ? my friend wants to start playing the game and he liked the drone stuff a lot, since he likes afking and doing nothing :D.
will it finish lvl 4 missions like 50% percent slower than a raven ? elaborate , please
thanks

While I can't give you a direct comparison to other ships, I can say from experience that the domi is a great missioning ship. I found it very easy to be successful in one even with low SP. (Was my first BS, and still my only solo lvl 4 ship)
I know there are a few other ships that can outpace it, golem, CNR so I have heard... but as far as accessibility, and afk-ability hehe. I think the domi wins hands down imo.

Running missions in a dominix while afk will certainly be slower than running them in a Raven - or even running them actively in a Dom - but it is, by far, the easiest way to do them. ________________________________________________

the domi will make lvl 4 mission slower but you have the space to put 2 tractor and 2 salvager and a gun to get aggro while still having your dps (read drones) so yeah its slow but it can do everything and you can do the mission afk :) . you can put every other slot in the tank if he got low sp.

Well tbh i think the domi is probably the most versatile mission boat out there.
With rail in highs and sentry drones (T2) i think you would speed through the missions in a domi. Small drones u can pop when the frigs ae on you and all bs and cruisers are insta popped.
Would do em alot faster then a raven

I think the Domi is not that great as some ppl think.
About being afk might work with lvl 3s but not so much with at least half of lvl4s. And then the drones.
You need smalls/mediums to kill frigs. And you prolly want heavies to kill cruisers and up. This means changing the drones, and ofc you can afk while the heavies kill the BSs left, but that's also because it takes that much longer than with decent guns.
There are also some missions with timed respawns.
So with some fairly decent gunnery skills the megathron is just so much faster and more fun then the domi.
With the mega by the time your medium drones kill frigs and cruisers you have popped BSs with the guns.
The mega has potentially at least double effective dps compared to the domi, if you calculate drone travel times.

Shoot 1st, shoot some more, keep shooting, some more shot, and if anyones alive after ask a few questions. Just a soldier following orders.

either a passive shield tanked dominix with 6 425 railgun II's or a perma armour tanked dominix with dual LAR and medium guns can do level 4 missions easily. some missions they are faster than ravens, some are slower overall not that much difference, maybe the raven edges it.
i prefer the shield tanked "gank" one as it flies through missions, it tanks the missions by killing stuff and the less time wasted in misions, the better.
AFk it will be alot slower, and the armour tanked one is better at this on the few missions the passive shield tank cannot tank as you aren't there to change targets

Originally by: Joh Lan The mega has potentially at least double effective dps compared to the domi, if you calculate drone travel times.
a passive shield tanked domni with 6x425mm railgun II, 3x MFS II and 5x sentry II (or ogre II) will do missions much much faster than a megathron or hyperion. i've tried them all in the past. only problem is the dominix can cap out due to guns. i think mine does close to 800 dps with garde II, antimatter in guns, skills and cheapish implants.

People wake up t2 sentry drones add insane amounts of dmg and with rails and t2 sentry i can prolly run faster then any raven.
Requires a hefty skillbase but without a doubt its faster then anything ive everflown.

A rail domi with sentries can dish serious DPS. You can even have 6 Dual 250s and a semi reasonable tank. The versatility of the Domi almost makes the hype and mega useless in PVE.

6 350 Rails
