The '''Dominix''' (or '''Domi''') is the one of two T1 battleship drone carriers, with a bonus to drone damage and hit points. It has the 125mb bandwidth required to field a full flight of heavy or sentry drones (this is not unique among T1 battleships) and a 375m<sup>3</sup> drone bay large enough to carry several flights of heavies, sentries, mediums and/or lights. With its 5 mid slots and 7 low slots, the Dominix is normally armor tanked. Compared to the Amarrian [[Armageddon]], the Dominix has bonuses towards drone tracking and optimal range; these help a little with normal drones, but are most useful when using [[Drones#Sentry_Drones|sentry drones]].

'''PvE'''
 
 
 
Don't forget when using sentry drones that without enough drone control range it is not possible to order the sentry drones to fire, even if the enemy ship can be locked. For example, if your locking range is 130 km, but your drone control range is 50km, sentry drones cannot be ordered to fire on enemy ships that are farther than 50km away from your ship.
 
 
 
'''PvP'''
 
 
 
The fact that all of the Dominix's hull bonuses affect its drones, rather than any mounted weapon system, makes its fittings highly flexible. The high slots can be used to mount heavy energy neutralizers, which can dry out the capacitor of small- and medium-sized targets who stray too close. They can also be used to mount remote repair modules: a group of remote-repairing Dominixes can repair each other, and can present a formidably enduring set of targets. The high slots can also be fitted with weapons: projectile turrets are a surprisingly popular option, as no particular on-board weapon has a bonus, and projectile turrets don't use capacitor energy.

The Dominix is one of the old warhorses dating back to the Gallente-Caldari War. While no longer regarded as the king of the hill, it is by no means obsolete. Its formidable hulk and powerful drone arsenal means that anyone not in the largest and latest battleships will regret ever locking horns with it.

Summary

The Dominix (or Domi) is an iconic droneboat, with a bonus to drone damage and hit points. It has the 125mb bandwidth required to field a full flight of heavy or sentry drones and a 375m³ drone bay large enough to carry several flights of differently sized drones. This either provides flexibility in choosing your drones or the ability to replace lost drones when the other side tries to defang you.

Flexibility is generally the theme for the Dominix. As most of tits DPS stems from the drones, the high slots can used in many ways. Turrets can make a Dominix into an absolute DPS machine. Remote reps are a popular choice for small groups of Domis. Neuts are obviously also helpful. In many of those scenarios you also want to fit a drone link augmentor for more drone control range.

The Dominix is also flexible in its tank. The most common are certainly armor tank, both buffer and active. But it also has a lot of hull hitpoints which makes a hull tank viable. In some cases Domis are even shield tanked.

Domis are currently rather used for solo PvP or in small fleets (in the second case of remote rep). But in the past they have also been used on a larger scale.

They are used for various kinds of PvE. They are able to run nullsec anomalies where the drones automatically aggro the NPCs; but are also a popular option to run level four missions in a drone based ship. Domis in missions often use sentries and an MJD to snipe the NPCs from a distance but fits based on heavy drones are also viable.

The Dominix is sometimes humorously called the "Space Potato" because of its squat and round appearance.
