I like the look of the Domi, but if it has to be changed, change it to look like the BS Drones with all the twitching arms and pincers.

The Domi does have a front heavy look like the Brutix, maybe redesign the skin to look more like the Brutix mebes?

Inferior Caldari pilots just don't get the subtle sexiness of the Domi.

If a Moa and a Revenant had an illegitimate love child, it would still look better than a Dominix. It saddens me that the Domi is such a prestiguous drone boat while the Myrmidon. with its dashing good looks can't field 5 heavies or sentries.

I actually prefer the Domi over the Myrmidon as far as looks go.

Are you kidding? It's looks like someone pinched one off.

Coincidentally, it looks a lot like the quoted poster's avatar.

Because it looks like ****. It's an ugly lump of **** with engines shoved into the back. It has no shape, no style, not even the random weirdness of a Moa. It looks like the artist took the basic sketch for a ship, smoothed it out until nothing was left but a blob, and threw a random spaceship texture on it. Job done in 15 minutes just before the deadline, and the art department had to pretend it was deliberate to avoid the humiliation of failure.

And the really sad thing? Ship after ship gets a shiny new model while the Dominix is left with a model that drives you to suicide every time you realize your character has suffered the shame of flying a Dominix in public.


So true.

When you look at the dominix from the front it has a dump expression because of the down curves bridge area. It looks the opposite of dangerous.

The only problem U have with the dominix is I see no openings for a drone bay. Megathron has one. The Myrm has one. When is the Dom drone bay?

Do you know how many times they've gone from uber to useless and back over the years?

Mr Epeen Cool



no no no, drones didn't went from uber to useless and back for a bazzilion times over the years.


they went from b0rked to totally b0rked and back to b0rked a bazzilion times over the years. besides mining drones (and even then I remember the "parasite" gfx bug they had every now and then), I have never seen them working 100% ever since 2003. from not having the bonuses applied to randomly shooting your gangmates, they pretty much went over every state of broken piece of hardware in existence. only recently they upgraded their AI from "insect" to "fish", and even that didn't worked well.

Domi needs a high res skin, but not a redesign. It is quite sexy enough as it is, tyvm.

I have two primary problems with the Domi's appearance:

1) It doesn't have near enough engines for its size.

2) It looks like some kind of headless, legless water buffalo.

I don't mind that it's bulky, I just wish there was more going on with the model. Props to the noble few who still fly it, though.

To be honest, I expected something more far more stylish & artistic looking from the Gallente. I certainly wouldn't expect their premier battleship to look like Mr.Potato Head imitating Judge Dredd. Roll

Of course, we still have the sexiest ships, but what else do you expect? Blink
