I'm currently only trained to fly Gallente BS and I fly my dominix in 0.0 sansha space. I can do the Sansha forsaken rally points no problem, but I do them quite slowly. I'm upgrading to Tech II sentries which will increase my damage and my speed, but even then. Could a vindicator do a much better job on these sites than my domi? Is it worth the ISK?

I was thinking about getting a vindicator to run the sites in sansha space like forsaken rally point and forsaken hub, because I've looked around and seen how fast the vindicator can do some sites if the npc's spawn in the same spot, but not Sansha sites. (Due to their damage weakness, I don't know how well the Vindicator would work) I was wondering how effective a vindicator would be in Sansha space and if I'd be better off getting a navy domi or not.
Any feedback is appreciated!

most people i've talked to that have done this do it with sentry drone support for another ship (gila/ishtar/domi) so that the rats really, really melt fast. I wouldn't go through the trouble of bringing down a vindicator until i had tested it on the test server. When ratting, the ship really just doens't do well if it has to move or tank at all, and if stuff isn't melting fast, it will have to do both.

THe vindicator will get good damage, that much is a given. But personally I wouldn't even consider using one for what you're describing. I would stick with rails + curators. Your options would be domi, navy domi, navy mega, hyperion.

But don't take my word for it. Test server. Go.
