Ok I've tried plenty of builds, and none people have given me qwuite live up to what I am looking for. So I';ll post exactly what I need and see if anyone knows of a good setup.

>The ship itself doesn't matter, I can afford whatever, but should be a solid gallente drone boat.

>It needs to have an afterburner or MWD

>I only need one gun really, I don't care if the missions take a long time, I like to salvage everything, so tractor beams and salvagers probably a must.

>What drones too... I want to pretty much pull aggrpo then afk while my drones wreck through everything. Obviously I wouldn;t really AFK but you get the idea. I'm more than positive I am skilled for whatever builds you can throw at me. I hope you guys can help me out!

Well basically most people throw out builds that involve a ton of guns and those builds require them, I'm just looking for a build, that allows me to do these missions without using the guns, I like to equip a single gun, and then just use tractors/salvagers. But most builds can't get an afterburner or mwd on and I pretty much need that for making ANY use of salvaging. I dunno maybe there just is no build that will cover this, but I am really just trying to get set up for lvl 4s and don't know what to do

So basically you want something like this:

[Dominix, New Setup 5]
Large Armor Repairer II
Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II

Core X-Type 100MN MicroWarpdrive

Cap Recharger II

Small Tractor Beam II
Small Tractor Beam II
Small Tractor Beam II
Salvager II
Salvager II
Salvager II

Large Capacitor Control Circuit I

Large Nanobot Accelerator I

Like being the operative term as you could pobably, depending on skills, get away with swapping one CR2 for a second omni 2. Or if your entire purpose is to go AFK during the missions and you field heavy drones:

[Dominix, New Setup 5]
Large Armor Repairer II
Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Medium Armor Repairer II
Drone Damage Amplifier II

But what drones should I be using in lvl 4s, it's been so long, I 'm not sure which are solid for that lvl. Ogres? gardes? I appreciate the help!

Ogres, Gardes, Hammerheads, Hobgoblins, Warriors for instance.

Aka one set of sentries, another with large, mediums and a couple of small ones. Maybe some alternative damage types for Mediums.

Oh, and with maybe 15 days of training you should be able to get in to a Rattlesnake too. Much better then a Domi.

Minmatar drones for Angel missions, Gallente drones for everything else if you're lazy. Minmatar drones do fairly good on generic merc missions, and with how far back Guristas rats hang and EoM rats spawn in Gone Berserk you might make a case for wardens, but overall those two generalizations get the job done.

You can make a case for using sentries even if you plan on zipping around to loot/salvage, but if you do do that it might be worth considering wardens for Serpentis, Guristas, EoM, Mordus, and merc missions. T2 wardens have up to a 75km optimal (after skills) and with two omni links they hit 114km optimal with 30km falloff. In short within limits it doesn't matter where you are in mission space, so long as your targets are within your drone control range your wardens can, and will, hit them. At least so long as they're out far enough to not make tracking an issue.

EoM, Guristas, and Mordus are all weak to kinetic damage and all three tend to either hand back a goodly distance from your ship or spawn out a goodly distance. Once you can guarantee your sentries won't get aggro'd and blown up deploying them, MWD'ing out 40-50km, and looting/salvaging while they kill is a viable option. Not recommended, but viable.

You may as well throw some overdrives in the lows too.

Trying to get a Domi to go fast is just not worth it. Its a space potato.

lolwut. I can see the point of that fit went right over your head. A.) It was a lulz fit based on a lulz request from the OP and B.) In what way am I trying to "make a Domi go fast"? Besides adding an AB which is actually common on mission boats.

Garde II's for short-medium range sentry damage.

Hobgoblin II's for frigate clean up.
Ogre II's if you feel like it.

Really a set of sentries and an assortment of medium/lights should do you just fine. You are going to want T2 drones though because the damage is so much better than the T1s.

Ogre Iis work decently for frigate cleanup as well. They're not as fast in getting to them as light drones, but they don't **** around orbit-looping for a couple seconds either and do about as much effective damage from what I've seen. Granted, however, I don't routinely watch my drones take down frigates and take notes over it. The few times I have paid attention they were both pretty comparable in take-down times though. With an omni-link or two Ogre IIs should kill frigates faster than Hobgoblins, but it's up to the pilot to decide whether they do it fast enough to warrant the slower movement speed.

Ship costs 405, AB is 200, the cap rechargers are, what, 40 mil each? How much are each of the T2 rigs? Should I have thrown X-type reps/Hardeners on to reinforce the point even more or are we good now?
