I was Curious about somethin I read about T1 and T2 drones a while back.
I read that a T2 drone basically does the damage of a T1 drone of the next class. So a T2 light drone does the damage of a T1 medium. If this is the case what is the point of using for example 5 ogre 1s if 5 hammerhead 2s does the sae damage faster with better tracking?

Because 5 x Ogre II do even more damage.

Someone was taking some liberties with that claim. My skills on an Ishtar:
Ogre I: 360 DPS Hammerhead II: 233
For reference:
Ogre II: 467 Garde I: 375 Garde II: 450

Base damage according to the database:
Hammerhead II - 24pts thermal damage
Ogre I - 48pts thermal damage
Heavy drones hit hard but take a while to get there.

Damage neglecting skills, rate of fire and damage multiplier is entirely useless information.
XL blasters does twice as much damage as large blasters. Megathron got 7 turrets, moros 3.

This is mostly true, so as you can see a t1 heavy drone still puts out a lot more theoretical dps than a t2 medium.
When i look at the damage my drones do, I generally consider flight time and tracking aswell and if I consider missions with all their smaller targets, your group of t2 mediums will easily beat the time t1 ogres can set 95% of the time.
So yeah, t2 drones can be equal to or even greater than t1 next class drones. In pvp however, HP and theoretical dps account for more (although having spare flights can be even better still).
All the stuff above does not necessarily reflect my corp, my alliance or even me.. Drone guide.. |
