sad day Gallente used to be the drone boat and now they will be the we also have drones boat.
you can change domi's name to flower pot now while your at it.
thanks alot

...And then a simultaneous cry from Gallente pilots all across New Eden was heard. The earth shook and cracked from all the tears.

The domi isn'ty overpowered but the assist mechanic. In fact it's true for all drone ships. The point here is the code for drone mechanics is so old that CCP doesn't dare to touch this.

Taking the bonus down to 7.5 DOES NOT bring sentries in line with other weapon systems.

Other weapon systems can be fired effectively while the user moves.
Other weapon systems have modules which + up the falloff and not just the optimal.
Other weapon systems can be scripted.
Other weapon systems can be overheated.
Other weapon systems don't fall off of your ship if you need to warp out in a hurry.
Other weapon systems can choose their damage types without giving up range (not all).
Other weapon systems can be remotely boosted.
Other weapon systems can't be shot off of your ship.
Other weapon systems can't be bombed off of your ship.
Other weapon systems can be implant boosted.
Other weapon systems get faction modules.
Other weapon systems get faction upgrades.
Other weapon systems get faction ammo.
Other weapon systems get powerful t2 specialised ammo.
Other weapon systems damage mods are more effective.
Other weapon systems dont have the huge time delays that drones have.
Other weapon systems can be used beyond 60km without gimping out your dronebay.
Other weapon systems can easily replace loss from cargo.
Other weapon systems have immediate damage output ('cept missiles).
Other weapon systems dont need to lose ~ half of thier damage output in order to actually stay out doing damage.
Other weapon systems ...


That 10% nearly brings domis in line with other sniping fits (not entirely however). If your trying to equalise out the weapons then we need the weapons actually ******* equalised...

yep and don't forget drones can't be overloaded ...
guns yes
missiles yes (can't disrupt them ...)

so yes ccp go and you should nerf the Bandwith too , and drone bay too Why gallente drone boat should carry more drones than other sips ?? oO non sense

and i think domi can do well with 2 warrior II


my 2 isk

It's not that a big of a nerf anyways, adds up to 12.5% on level 5. That is a decrease of 12.5% to your total tracking, which isn't game changing, so I don't know why the excessive whining. It is more of a tweak than a change, admittedly a deserved one.

Its more like an 8.33% overall nerf

You conveniently forget that drones need damage mods in the lows, tracking and range mods in the mid slots just like turrets, in addition to these high slot modules for control range are need as well! This does not leave any space neither for appropriate mod slots for the "free" weapons nor slots for the weapons themselves, plus said weapons don't receive bonuses from the hull either.

So you can fit a greatly diminished rack of "free" weapons with ****** damage, tracking and range.

Whereas a 1000+DPS turret oriented ship can still launch a flight of lights to swat/harass frigates or EWAR drones for some serious utility, also don't have to worry about their weapon systems being destroyed before the ship itself.

And they will lose about 5~10km so rather than bouncers being able to deal 630 DPS out to 136km they will only hit out to 125km

I disagree.

My question would be "How many of the (NERF the Dominix) actually fly it on a regular basis?"
Just because it did well in the Alliance Tourney and now it's overpowered?
How many ships that did well in the Tournaments got nerfed next available patch?

Finally the Dominix starts performing like it should and it gets the Nerf whack.
It's a drone boat or a mini drone carrier. That is it's main weapon.

First they started with the EOS loosing bandwidth and now tracking on Dominix.
What's next?
