The hyperion has far too much base speed it is faster than 2 of the races attack bs
Some more thought needs to go in here I think, Classes should be viable across all races no just within a race.

Hyp speed to 105
Domi to 100
Raven and Apoc to 120
Mega to 130

I thought you were ironizing with my opinions for the 7-8 slots matters... xD

The Mega higly viable as fleet platform, I doubt it. As I said, amarr and caldari are both better for anything you could do with your megathron. I already showed a beam abaddon fit which does everything can megathron can do, but with better resists and better dps at close range. Blaster fit, you will lack range on the Megathron, because blasters are not a weapon for fleet focus fire and fast target switching. So I wonder what it will be useful for.

And looking to it, the Navy Megathron already does anything you can only dream to do with this Megathron version. I really think the Megathron should have 5 mid slots. He would then compete with minmatar ships, but hybrid guns with drones compete with projectiles at least. Hence why I think the first version of the Megathron was very good.

Fit one up. And use rails, FFS.

Right now it is an extremely solid mid-range fleet brawler. It is 2nd best at 40-60km, without the crippling range limitations of the best, meaning is is basically a far more flexible Abaddon.

Its tank is either 4th with good resists or 2nd with bad resists. With 600 CPU, it could be a solid #2 in tank.

In other words, it is a truly solid fleet option. #2 in range, tank and damage if it gets its CPU boost. All the rest get to be good at 1 or 2, and suck at the 3rd.

It is sad Hype lost its turret DPS.
I mean it is much better to have a turret DPS instead of additional drone damage aka increased bandwidth.

In PvP or PvE drones are a bad idea.

They bumped it from 9k to 10k. They would need to bump it more to get a full set of higher tier guns on it (Ions). They might be afraid that the Domi could then fit a full rack of heavy neuts which may invade the space of the Geddon too much.

Oh, that's great. My favorite Gallente Battleship (Hyperion) is losing 2 turrets. :(

Wonderful. And I was just getting excited about the prospect of maximizing my large hybrid capabilities.

Dude ! 6 turrets may not be that sexy, but it's definitely optimized ! The new Hyperion is better than it ever was !

I think that a Megathron would be best beeing a faster Vindicator with lower HP. With a slot layout of 7/5/7 and 7 guns you could set up a dual web fit. The Idea obviously would be to aproach, put hard webbing on your target, owerwhelm with high dps, and f off after the kill or contineu to the secondary. Regarding the rate of fire bonus, it's just going to make the ship use cap faster and shoot through ammo quiker. Gallente should be focused on high voleying blasters on their short range gun boats, not high rate of fire like Minmatar. The current bonuses are fine.

About the Dominix, I like the idea of being able to control 10 drones at lvl5. It would take the role of a subcapital drone boat to a new level. I don't think it would hurt the server too much, as only 1 subcap ship could have this ability. I'm kind of conflikted though because when you think of it, with out an increased drone capacity you're not even going to be able to have 2 flights of drones that use 25 m3. And if you increase it, it kind of goes against the CCP's general idea of Amarr having less bandwidth and more drone bay capacity than Gallente. Right now the Gedon and the Domi both have 375 m3 for drones and 125 bandwidth. I guess it would be fine considering that it would become a ship purely relying on drones for dps. The scorpion has 3 donuses, the domi could perhaps have 3 as well: +1 drone, 10% damage and hp, 7.5% tracking and optimal rage per lvl. Not even considering a drone speed bonus as the ship is ment for heavy and sentry drones.


+1 for a new Domi model... Typhoon would aslo be great. :)


For the Hyperion the 5 mids and 7 lows would work perfectly as an active tanking ship. For the highs, unless you're planning to redo the hyperion model, so it wouldn't be so obvious that it's hull ment for 8 turrets, you should probably keep the highs as it is. But then I think the ship would have 1 slot too many. As a side note, the other race's combat gun boats have 8 turrets. 6 on a hyperion and its role just doesn't look right. Maybe 6 guns with a model ment for 8 will be fine if you'll come out with a navy version for the hyperion one day along with the other BSs which are missing them.

lol--first, nobody is going to fit hybrids on the post-Odyssey Domi when projectiles do as good a job with less fitting and no cap use. And also lol to "Domi invade on Geddon's space" when it is the Armageddon which is solely the one who took the neuting Domi--a role the Domi was well suited for--out back and put a bullet through its head. The Geddon is a laser beam spewing monster--the big brother of the Omen in the Amarr ship line--at the moment, not a neuting platform. If anyone has stepped on anyone else's toes, it's definitely the Geddon onto the Domi.
