I'm looking into using battleships for solo/small gang pvp. I know they're slow, but i won't be roaming with them, just using them as a powerful force in my area.

I was thinking of using 3-4 drone battleships with neut/nos and max warfare link boosts. I'm just not sure which is better, geddon or domi. Domi gets better drone tracking but geddon gets bonus to neut/nos range. I could also throw a bhaalgorn into the mix for uber web range.

Geddon or domi? They seem very similar.

I have no experience flying battleships, but I've seen the geddon work really well. Though I've had domis cause me problems using sentries and sniping.

I wanna join up. I think I got what it takes to be a Citizen.

That's good, but a little too complex to multibox in pvp with the remote rep/transfers. I have access to max fleet boosts of any kind and other things to boost HP to crazy levels.

I was thinking heavily tanked neut/nos geddons or domis with drones for DPS. Just not sure if to use geddons or domis.

Running it with mid grade slaves would be advised but not required. It essentially has everything you could need from a solo BS in the form of utility, solid dps and tank. You can drop an EANM for a reactive hardener and the merits of doing so can be argued successfully on a BS hull, but personally i do not like it.


If Slaves are not an option for you then i would suggest a hull tank variant such as.

[Dominix, Savage Hull]

Geddon is not a terrible option but for pure solo Domi outshines it Imo.

You can also run a shield Domi as seen in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8SqDYMIG3s. But you really need Crystals/Links/Blue pill to make it shine though.

That will make all of New Eden come and fight you, who in their right mind wouldn't??

Oh wait, I wouldn't because I have experience.

Actually, yes, 1 bait ship and 2-5 blops is best.
