This is an old revision of the document!
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.

Before the VNI ratting meta, there once was the Domi Ratter. In early 2019, the esteemed Sapporo Jones took it upon himself to bring back the Domi for many reasons he laid out in a much more in-depth post on the Forums. It is highly recommended you read it in full, but if you are lazy the tl;dr is included here.
Using a battleship means your drones are going to get primaried more often. The below fit has some ways for you to avoid losing drones while AFK ratting but you have to follow the following process EXACTLY.
You may wonder to yourself if you can activate the auto-targetter at other points. Maybe. Fact is the auto-targetter has ZERO IMPACT on rat aggro, I'm putting it in the process as the last step because some of you are degenerate superstitious pieces of subhuman garbage and if I don't pay lip service to the tribal knowledge of auto-targetter being important I'm gonna hear about it. I personally use the auto-targetter but only because it locks up all the rats I can tab back or look over from my porch and see at a glance my wave progress.
It's important you have the heavies start clearing the battleships and not bother with the cruisers until later. The cruisers are the rats that you need to aggro anyways so they stay focused on you, so that's what we're gonna tackle to get their attention.
Once you complete step 5 (which we all know is unnecessary and which we all know you are going to do anyways) that's it. Your 'tackle aggro' will persist through the end of the site.
