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.
Gallente Battleship bonuses (per skill level):
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.
People have been AFK-ratting in Vexors for ages, to the point where it is literally a meme. Why is the Domi worth the switch?
The advantages to the Dominix class battleship include, but are not limited to, the following:
Using a battleship means your drones are going to get primaried more often. The ratting fit below 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, it's in the process as the last step because some of you are degenerate superstitious pieces of subhuman garbage and if the fit didn't pay lip service to the tribal knowledge of auto-targetter being important people would bitch about it. It can be useful as it locks up all the rats (allowing you tab back and see at a glance the wave progress) but is not necessary.
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 7 (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.
Note: The PPD Domi has higher required skills than listed on this page. If you want reimbursement, make sure you have at minimum the required skills!
