There's literally no better option, if you can spare the pilot.


Are they better than Rattlers?

Also how is it best to fit the RR Domis and how do you use them?

Can you give me a rundown of the skills needed to use the RR Domis effectively?


Yes they are better than Rattlers when it comes to risk vs reward.

Highs: remote reps, energy transfer, neuts.
Meds: Sensor booster, mjd, tp, eccm, point
lows: DDA, resistance mods, 1600 plate
sentry drones++

Warp into site, align celestial/sleeper, mjd. stop ships. launch mtu. blap sleepers whilst spamming scan button. bookmark mtu. go next site.

C3 in dual domi is a walk in the park.


I often use this, shameless nicked from a WH thread of old.

Can probably ditch a bunch of the rechargers for a C3, you're not under enough pressure. And it's usually tracking speed.

You can shield RR them too, if you like but it's a bit harder.

Is that because of the insurance? Or damage application? A Rattlesnake costs about the same and puts out more paper DPS than two drone-only Dominixes and needs only one account for running sites so if you have a second account it can give boosts/watch incoming holes.

Costs the same as an unfit rattler, perhaps. Costs a hell of a lot more to be fit to tank the 1300 DPS coming out a C3 relic.

Secondary concerns are gankers and the ability to split loot between domis to limit losses. Domis also get bonused lights which help to splashing small ships that make it under sentries as well as deterring covops hobo tackle. They also significantly more "ignorable" than a rattler.

A single rattlesnake also enjoys sleepers agressing drones, damage application issues (goodbye full dps against awakened defenders at 16k wth gardes) to level some of the on-paper advantages gained over domis.

Your ISK/hr is down the gutter with only one DLA. That's not a c4-domi fit. Saying because I used to run with one DLA initially and nearly commmited ritual suicide over the clear speed.

I have spares in the cargo, depots, sebos as required.

Mobile depots are the **** :D
