Domi setups for missions / npc ratting?

I'm looking for a good setup for missions / npc ratting. I only have ~1.5mil sp now so a cheap setup thats upgradeable would be good for now, but I need something that still packs a punch. Setups I have to train up to are fine as long as it won't take me 9 more months to get there.

Thanks
 
Can you use heavy drones? Large guns?

The setup I use is:

4x Large blasters
2x tractor Beams

1x 100mn AB
1x Drone Navigation Module
3x Cap rechargers

1x Large Armor Rep
Assorted Active Hardeners
1x Cap Power Relay
?x Speed Mods

2x Drone Speed Rigs

I only need a 4 slot tank (3 actives and 1 rep) cause I got uber tanking skills, you may need a bit more for missions and 00 ratting. the extra space allows me to use low slots for the cap power relays (replacing a 4th cap recharger with teh drone speed mod) and putting some speed mods down thar to speed up the whole process.

I love tractor beams, so dont feel bad about losing turret slots, my neutron t2 dominix with max drone skills gets 674 dps, you'll get less, but still very respectable for a ratter.


If you're 00 ratting, invest in a trio of giant secure containers, and anchor those suckers in a safe spot. Being able to save everything and store ammo remotely is fucking amazing.

All the drone speed shit is a new addition. The module adds a flat 25N (newtons? odd thing for a mod to boost) to drones speed, adn the two rigs both boost drone speed (not orbit speed) by 10%, so that 20% actually boosts teh 25N addition too! My wasp II's got 1600m/s, lights can get over 8km/s. Speeds shit up, esp. since most losers go with Ogre's (~650m/s)

Ratting/missioning is about turnaround. Who cares how quick you can kill shit (retards who go without an AB into missions are dumb) its how fast you can kill shit, collect loot, and start on a new belt/mission that makes ALL the difference.

you dont even need guns really. put 2 salvagers, 2 tractor beams, 1 large nos, and either a blaster or rail. any rats that get next to you, just suck them off and let your drones do the work. for mids, 100mn ab, drone nav computer, and the rest cap rechargers. For the lows, use 1 large rep, 1 1600mm plate, and 3 rat-specific active hardners.

Is that good for missions too or just ratting?
 
serpreme is awesome at spouting condescending bullshit without offering anything constructive of his own.

it's how he rolls.
 
All you need is BS lvl 3 and heavy drones (most gallente's start with Drones 5 already) and you can rat in a Domi. Getting gunnery 5 (again, most starters ahve it already) would mean you get large guns too.


Honestly, I find the added DPS zips me through belts faster. Sure, I could be salvaging too, but I find without salvaging rigs and 3 salvagers it takes too long. That time could be spent ratting more. So, given the added time to kill the rats (no large guns, another 200 dps) and the time needed to go through multiple salvaging cycles, I could be shooting other triple bs spawns. So the isk rewards of salvaging are alot less than then whatever teh market tells you you got.
 
ok so try this setup, its a 00 ratting for serps & gurristas and all very cheap tech 1 gear. On my characters the tank and guns run forever. While you are ratting, you can be salvaging & looting. Once you become confident, you can drop 2 of the guns and add an additional salvager and tractor beam.

I suppose it could handle L4 missions as well, although I have never tried with domi.

lol you guys are funny
you could have atleast called me out on being wrong.
I persnally think the domi is an awesome ratting ship. Right behind the raven
if i wasnt going to work i'd do a setup for you.
Just use all salvagers and tractors + drones = win.

L4 mission runner is similar, but it needs dual rep and 3 CCC rigs.
 
Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever put a plate on a ratting ship. If your rep can't cover the damage, you're doing it wrong. All a plate does is slow you down. Switch the plate for another CPR and put an AB on.
 
Even with poopy rep skills, I dont think you'll need a plate. The dual hardeners will be more than enough for any newb to survive Fade rats...unless he's hardcore and wants to go up to venal or dek for rattin.


On the Dual 250's, I've tried them. I've REALLY wanted to make them work. But honestly, they just cant hit far enough to make them worth their horrible tracking. Neutron Blasters can 'touch' out to 20km and still be able to track a BS that's under 2500 m.

I use them on serp rats, AND gurista (missle heavy, most engagements start at 50km +) because my drones zip forward doing the bulk of my damage. T2 AB + speed mods means Im goign at 500m/s too.
