This is I think the penultimate EPIC Gallente Arc, these boys are kicking me all over the place so before I do 50 warpouts on the trot does anyone have any hints/tips for tanking a vanilla t2 Domi in this mission
thanks in advance _ _ _

They are blaster ships, very short ranged kin/therm. Unfortunately, they are also very fast.
Your best tactic is to bring a friend.
If you cannot keep away from them (I never tried, to be fair), try going for a monster dual rep tank and use Ogres. They orbit so close you won't have to worry about travel time.
Try [Dominix, Tankage] Damage Control II Armor Thermic Hardener II Armor Thermic Hardener II Armor Kinetic Hardener II Armor Kinetic Hardener II Imperial Navy Large Armor Repairer Imperial Navy Large Armor Repairer
Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II Cap Recharger II
350mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L 350mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L 350mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L 350mm Railgun II, Antimatter Charge L [empty high slot] [empty high slot]
Large Capacitor Control Circuit I Large Capacitor Control Circuit I Large Capacitor Control Circuit I
Hobgoblin II x5 Hammerhead II x5 Garde II x5 Ogre II x5
You'll need the faction reppers for the smaller grid requirement. You may want to toy with putting a Gallente web in a mid and changing the highs around to add nos or neut - I am unfamiliar with the finer points of Domi fits, but bear in mind you will be engaging at very short range with high transversal.
Good luck. I used a Pally with a mate in a Kronos. --- Some days you are the pigeon, and some the statue. |

thanks, these appear to be minnies and hit easily from 50km and move like the wind, trying a few tactics but a friend def helps :) - got the domi tanking for about 60 seconds which is just enough for us both to take down one of the BS before having to warp out, nice mission but you can't say it's easy, which is great!
unfortunately forgot about DT so leavinhg it now until after reset and I will try again _ _ _

I would say toughest level 4 around and the Pator BS do a massive amount of mostly explosive damage, so make sure you cover that area.
When tanked with Thermal/Kinetic you don't stand a chance and will lose your ship in less than a minute.
Almost lost my Navy Domi to this one and yes, it is a really nice mission and a good challenge. Would have been nice to had some warning in advance myself that the jump in incoming damage is that big, but with a logistics support cruiser, easily doable.

Edited by: Aelana Anais on 15/09/2010 13:24:44 There are a number of high-DPS missions between the four faction l4 epic arcs. But yea, this one is pretty EPIC ;)
This arc was what convinced me to trade in my domi for a passive shield tanked rattlesnake. That beast can AFK tank these guys and hold more drones :p
Barring investing in a 1bn+ ship just to run the epic arcs, logistics or remote repping is definitely the way to go. From two full runthroughs of all four, about a 1200 omnitank is about the max you will need if you are actively running these missions, might need a bit more in terms of MAX needed i.e. you **** off all the rooms and just sit there waiting for them to blow you up... but 1200 did it for me.
This is the fit I used Linkage

Thank for all the responses, looking forward now to heading home and getting back into my usual slightly faction fit Domi :)
That was one insane mission, finished when you kill the named BS rat but I kept going and did all the rest out of sheer spite :p
Bookmarks are your biggest friend I reckon, dictating range was key, and I finished by doing the first three BS, warp in at 100km, bbq a BS, make a BM, warp out before the tank was fine (thanks to corpmate Arkea for the support and advice as well :) ) - the other spawns after this initial one are easy _ _ _
