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 weapons batteries means that anyone not in the largest and latest battleships will regret ever locking horns with it. SHIP BONUSES

Summary
The Dominix (aka 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 (which is not unique among t1 battleships) and a 375m3 drone bay large enough to carry several flights of heavies, sentries, mediums and/or lights. The Dominix's ability to choose damage types by switching drones makes it an attractive level 4 mission runner. 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 - this helps a little with normal drones, but is most useful when using sentry drones.
Since Dominixes get a lot of their damage from drones, some high slots are often used for utility modules instead of weapons. One or two drone link augmentors will be required to make the most of the Dominix's maximum range with sentries. Remote repair Dominixes are also common. The Dominix lacks a bonus towards any particular type of weapon, so which guns (if any) are fitted are up to the pilot's taste. This flexibility, along with the ability to carry utility drones such as EWAR or repair, and the low price, also make the Dominix a popular pick for PvP. For capacitor warfare, however, the Armageddon has better bonuses towards it.
The Dominix is sometimes humorously called the "Space Potato" because of its squat and round appearance.

- PvE fit focusing on Sentry Drones and using a Micro Jump Drive and/or the small signature of Sentries (+ shield reps) to minimize incoming damage.
- With all skills at V and before boosts, this ship has 70.4 K EHP, flies at 366 m/s (481 m/s overheated) and aligns in 17.6 s with AB on (11.8 s off). The cap will last for 5 min 15 s (not running AB or RSB).
- Damage varies between 833 dps at 54 + 20 km using the Garde II drones and Uranium ammo and 712 dps at just above 100km with Bouncer II drones and Tungsten ammo.
- Fit mission specific hardeners in place of the EANMs or a DDA with a Reactive Armor Hardener if you have problems with the tank.
- The Hobgoblins can be used for small ships that get close, but the best defense might be to use the Micro Jump Drive to move away. Remember to recall your drones before you activate it!
- The ship is not bonused for weapons, so any weapon can be fitted as preferred. Best is to either get something with a range of 20 - 30 km with good tracking to deal with small drones or frigates or weapons that match your drones' range.
- Requires Weapon Upgrades V, otherwise use meta modules (start with Damage Control) or fit other guns.

- A variation on the PvE fit above. Higher EHP, higher Sentry DPS and better weapons for targeting nearby ships.
- With all skills at V and before boosts, this ship has 83.3 K EHP, flies at 343 m/s (451 m/s overheated) and align in 18 s with AB on (12.1 s off). The cap will last for 4 min 22 s.
- Damage varies between 773 dps at 68 + 12 km using the Garde II drones and 676 dps right at the extreme targeting range of 140 km with Bouncer II drones.
- The Hammerheads or Hobgoblins in conjunction with the blaster guns should be used for small ships that get close. Note that while blaster guns have much better tracking than railgun, they won't be able to target close orbiting frigates or small drones by themselves.
- The ship is not bonused for weapons, so any weapon can be fitted as preferred. Best is to get something with a range of 20 - 30 km with good tracking to deal with small drones or frigates. Dual Heavy Pulse, Dual 425mm Autocannons or Neutron Blasters are good choices.

- A lower skill version of the PvE sentry fit, with active tanking.
- As fitted, with all skills at V and before fleet boosts, this ship has 66.5 K EHP, flies at 952 m/s (1360 m/s with MWD overheated) and align in 18.8 s (12.5 s with MWD off).
- With all modules running, the capacitor will last 1 min 46 s. With all attack modules and the large armor repairer running the capacitor is stable. With the MWD and all attack modules (but no reps), the capacitor last 6 min 19 s.
- Damage varies between 608 dps at 40 + 10 km with the Garde sentries and 430 dps at max drone control range (100 km) with Bouncer sentries.
- Will repair 215 EHP/s. The reactive armor hardener will shift the resists to fit what is targeting the ship, increasing the effective repair rate.
- The ship is not bonused for weapons, so any weapon can be fitted as preferred. Best is to get something with a range of 20 - 30 km with good tracking to deal with small drones or frigates. Dual Heavy Pulse, Dual 425mm Autocannons or Neutron Blasters are good choices.

- A neuting fit that put emphasis on the tank at the price of lower dps.
- As fitted, with all skills at V and before boost, this ship has 136 K EHP (154 K EHP with resist mods overheated), flies at 320 m/s (420 m/s overheated) and align in 17.9 s with AB on (12.2 s off). Cap stable as long as you don't run out of Navy Cap boosters 800.
- Damage varies between 554 dps at 63 + 12 km with Garde II to 148 dps with Warrior II
- Will neut 100 cap units per s
- The use of the micro jump drive and of the afterburner are debated. This combination allow for better positioning, including the possibility of extraction if you are pointed (won't work if you get scrambled). MWD, target painter, sensor booster or ECCM modules can also be used.

Notes
This vessel qualifies for the University PYOS and BYOM programs.
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. Example: locking range:130km; Sentry Drone optimal range:100km; drone control range: 50km. Result: Sentry Drones cannot be ordered to fire on enemy ships that are farther than 50km away from your ship.
