Hi!

I'm going to run plexes all over random 0.0 (using my WH as a base)

Is there a ship that's best for this? I can refit at the POS but I need to be able to shoot any damage type...

Can use my alt in a RR Domi

Consider the following:

  • Serpentis are Kinetic weak, Thermal second.
  • Gurista are Kinetic weak, Thermal second.
  • Angels are Explosive weak, Kinetic second.
  • Blood are EM weak, Thermal second
  • Sansha are EM weak, Thermal second
  • Rogue Drones are EM weak, Thermal second (on average)


Using kinetic damage would deal respectable damage to 3 out of the 6 region factions. Using themal damage would deal respectable damage to 5 out of the 6 factions.

Knowing that, Caldari's kinetic bonuses (and switching to EM missiles for the other 3) or Gallente's heavy thermal focus might be just what you're looking for.

use a missile ship eg. tengu and just change ammo type as required, also has quite good tank.

If it were me I'd use a tengu along with the Domi - assign 5 sentries to assist the tengu pilot.

Get 3 drone damage modules on the domi, that means its putting out about 560 DPS with em/exp/therm sentries which will mow through any plex you find.

Bear in mind that you can only use this setup in 7-8-10/10 because they only aggro the first ship and don't switch aggro so the domi is safe.

If your gonna go into magnos/radars and other sites like havens/sanctums the domi will be toast because of target switching.

not because of target switching, but because of new spawns and this can be avoided by making bm very close to anomaly

How does making a BM next to the anoms beacon help the Domi from being targeted and killed?

Well, by this devblog, target switching should be accounted for: http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=73413
