Hey folks I am currently running level 4 missions in my sniper fit domi. I currently have a lock range of 134km (though my drones can attack up to about 170km, un guided). I currently have no implants and was wondering what implants I could use that would benefit a heave drone boat user. Drone damage increase? Lock range increase?

What do you guys suggest?

Thanks!

There really aren't many important ones if you are mostly missioning.

1-5 should probably be the best stat implants you can comfortably afford to lose. (For me that's +4s).

Your non-mission activities should dictate any other implants you elect to fit.

Do you use long-range railguns with Spike L on your Dominix? A 3% hardwiring for them might be useful to you.

Thanks Sabriz. I currently do not have any weapons equipped as I'm training up to T2 guns. Using all high slot drone augs.

That is probably overkill on drone range modules. You can fit non-T2 guns and will get pretty good performance out of them - your drones are the main damage source but the guns do contribute meaningfully.

425mm Prototype Gauss Gun is only 1600k ISK, hits well at 75km and reasonably at 85km with Lead L, low skills and no +range modules, and while its tracking is awful, you are firing at long range so that doesn't matter all that much. (Don't even bother pointing guns at anything under 30km away unless it is burning straight toward you, however).

If you spare a med slot on a tracking computer (range scripted), it starts applying damage very well even at full MJD range (100km).

And it gets much better once you upgrade to faction ammo or tech 2 ammo.

Here's a link to a spreadsheet I created that lists implants by slot and function. I'm sure there's some I've missed. If anyone finds some, send me a mail and I'll add them.

Maybe consider using a third party tool like EVEHQ (sorry no link at the mo as at work) this allows you to put you skills in via the API and you ship fit. it will give your tank capability you DPS including you drones and it also has a Implant manager where you can see the effect on your ship before you even purchase anything.
