I will soon be able to fly a Domi with Mastery 3 in the relevant certificates and started looking around at fits that I could use the run level 4's. Unfortunately I am unable to distinguish between outdated fits and current fits so I hope that someone could point me to a Battleclinic fit that isnt terribad.

Normally I just copy one of the fits from UNIWIKI and tweak it as I go along to suit my preferences, but due to the large pricetag attached to the Domi I dont want to make the mistake of flying it and losing it before I managed to get a return on my investment.

something like this:

2 empty slots are for specific mission hardeners

Anything you don't understand in that fit, please let me know :)

fit lmjd, this way your failfit will survive long enough to warp out.

Are you able to use any large weapons and what about drones?

As long as you can fit a micro jump drive (as stated above) + faction sentry drones you'll be fine with one of the Eve-Uni PVE fits. Warp our early until you get a feel for the align and warp out time of a battleship.

I made sure I could fit those modules before I even trained BS. I used the ingame Certificate system as my guide, and currently have Mastery 3 in all of the certificates that is listed for the Dominix.

I might as well also ask this here! Big smile

I am probably at least a week away from being able to afford the Dominix and its fittings, so was just wondering what mastery certificate I should bump up tp 4 during that time. I was thinking either tank or drones? or should I rather train the Battleship skill higher? (currently at BS 3)

What missions are you running? a shield tanked domi may have naturally better resistances than a standard armour tank.

I am currently running Missions for Minmatar. I used to do them for SoE but after an unfortunate ganking incident I have decided to switch to Minmatar for now.

Ganking or suspect baiting?

i looked for the record of the kill but it isnt showing (though i am woefully hungover so maby im just being incompitant )

upgrades is important,
the class is balanced around advanced weapon upgrades 5, though this is less important with the space potato.

maby get tanking? thats where i went first if i remember

Oh, it wasnt on this char. A friend gave me a char right after I started playing so I use that to run missions with. This is my future PvP pilot.

The char already has CPU Management, Power Grid Management and Weapon Upgrades to 5. The only thing that was keeping me back was a severe lack of Drone skills, but that is being rectified as we speak.

Luckily not. It was when I was still flying my Thorax. I learned a thing or two since then, so I have managed to avoid further losses! (d-scan)

So really the Drones are your main weapon on Domi. Sentry Drones.

In your high slots you may put some med size arty to succesfully pop up smaller ships while your drones taking care of bigger ones.

so you deffinatelly would need drone damage mods. i don't know what is you tanking ability but for mission runs it's usually active armor rep or shield booster along with mission specific hardeners.

Hi,
I recommend the following fit for a dominix running missions in matar space-

highs- a civilian gun, to draw agro.
drone link taters- 3 of them

mids- a large mjd, mandatory for this fit.
2 omnis, carry both tracking and range scripts-i use mostly tracking, occasionaly need range.
a targeting range module with range script.

lows-large armor rep
4 drone damage amps
1 eanm
1 resistence mod to match damage type of mission npcs.


this fit wont do well against guristas, so i don't use in caldari space.

although the tank looks minimal, it will suffice for missions in matar space, if you use the mjd.

not great if you plan to loot/salvage. I don't, i just kill and complete.


I carry two types of sentries, a flight of lights. don't require other drones.

Use Tsukino Stareine's fitting. Its proved and working and gives you enough tank for the start. If you get familar with the ship & missions you can drop a tank module for the 4th drone amplifier or other damage modules (like the above poster suggested). I wouldnt recommend a shield fit for the domi, you either run with a minimal tank or a tank with cap problems or 0-1 prop mods or have problems with damage projection.

I wouldnt fit guns on a domi. Instead, a target painter and two remote armor reps.

Why no gunz? You don't need an extra dps? Domi has 6 highs so u just leave 4 empty with only two RR's?
Share your fit plz.

the guns on a domi are not for dps, they are for drawing aggro when the rats decide to start shooting your sentries

Dominix biggest advantage is drone range bonus. Enough drone link augmenotrs and large micro jump drive will keep you safe and cost effective.
This is the fit I currently use for L4:
[Dominix, Current setup]
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Drone Damage Amplifier II
Shadow Serpentis Large Armor Repairer
Internal Force Field Array I
Federation Navy Drone Damage Amplifier

Large Micro Jump Drive
F-90 Positional Sensor Subroutines, Targeting Range Script
Federation Navy Omnidirectional Tracking Link, Optimal Range Script
Omnidirectional Tracking Link II, Optimal Range Script
Omnidirectional Tracking Link II, Optimal Range Script

Tachyon Modulated Energy Beam I, Radio L
Tachyon Modulated Energy Beam I, Radio L
Tachyon Modulated Energy Beam I, Radio L
Drone Link Augmentor II
Drone Link Augmentor II
Drone Link Augmentor II

Large Drone Scope Chip II
Large Ionic Field Projector I
Large Drone Control Range Augmentor II

mission specific sentry drone
Warden II x5
mission specific set of small / medium drones

This way I can fire from almost 150 km with almost 550 DPS (wardens only) or 665 DPS with curators II and radio crystals at 101-105 km optimal.
You can drop MTU, make a bookmark, jump away from NPC and shoot them as they are coming closer to you. At 150 km you are rearely hit by Dampers / ECM. Only very few NPC BS can hit you with cruise missiles that far. Your drones keep working on big targets, while your guns clean smaller ones while they burn 125 km toward you(damage type is not that important if you shoot npc frigates - their tank are paper thin.). Since they have to burn straight foward, there is not much issue with tracking even on big guns.
You low in ISK and skills? Drop guns, use T1 rigs instead of T2 and replace faction modules by T2 versions. Put one medium remote repairer into free high slot, so you can repair your drones on the fly. Put as many as big guns in other 2 slots as you will get enough fitting skills.
Can not use T2 sentry drones - use faction of even augmented ones. You will feel the difference, trust me.
Do not put too many expensive modules into you Dominix - you will be ganked sooner or later.

Absolutely free head start for newcomers!. Just click the link and get extra 250 000 SP!
