Edited by: Hussain on 01/07/2010 20:19:50 Faction drones have the advantage of better tracking over damage and have better hp over speed.
I fly a lot of drone boats and I do wonder if Navy drones would not be better is some situations.
Anyone feels like the tracking adavantage is as good as the extra dps ? Any ideas ?

There's better scenarios for tracking.
Dual or triple rep solo domi with gardes or bouncers could probably use the better tracking. Slap an omnidirectional tracking link in the mids if you have a slot free.
If you're using something smaller like a myrm, chances are you'll be using mediums or lights which track well as it is, so T2's better. You can mix and match, too. Myrm with 2 navy heavies, t2 meds and lights would work well i thinks.
In a fleet fight situation, the cost isn't worth the price of the navy drones. It's a steep investment for what's probably not even 1% more dps to the fleet. \o |

with t2 skill bonuses to racial t2 drones, the faction are not worth it at all considering the rarity and price of them. Use 2x Omni's like everyone else and the tracking bonus is negligible. ------- "Because the Dominix is the Chuck Norris of Eve!" |

I used faction drones while training up for T2 heavies. They were much better than regular T1s but inferior to T2s and now tht the price have shot up to 4 times what I was paying for them they are just not worth it even for my alt without T2 skills.
The price trumps any bonus they have.

The higher tracking really does come into play, it means you can reliably use medium or even heavies against frigate targets and for the sentries it is a true blessing. The higher HP makes a huge difference when used against ECM boats that frequently have multiple smartbombs to clear drones. You will only lose a drone if you flat out refuse to pay attention for the entire engagement
Other than that, T2 gives better mileage overall as they are cheap as chips by comparison.
