That's Heavies.
Consider the alternatives.

yyes, might sound/look scary, but then again look at the drone skilltree after RMR and you will knoiw that 3 heavies can pwn quite well, tbh:) I am a Domi pilot and i thought i would be hit a lot by the patch, while drones are so good now I can't believe Gallente wasn't nerfed, but beefud up, as it should be ;-)

3 drones post rmr = roughly 6 drones pre rmr...even more depending on skills. _____

I love my 3 little Mini-me's in my APOC. Work just as good as my 6 before. Much easier to keep track of also and manage.

Heck, in my phoon I can carry 5 lights, 5 meds and 4 heavies. Perfect for any situation. For once the 'phoon shines at something :)

Considering that the Domi has with this patch become probably the strongest close-range BS for 1v1, I call BS.

ok now that i am home from work and have more time to explain... this is crap because:
1. not only have i spent the time to get my drones ability to be able to use 5 and can no longer use them in a Raven ... what a waste.. a battleship that can only carry 3 drones..
2. now that i can only CARRY 3 heavy drones if i am engaged and lose one then how many more do i have to replace it with? thats right 0 so now you take out my 3 drones and i am short range = screwed...
not a very good deal all the way around if you ask me .. thanks alot for wasting all my precious skill time on trainging drones to five CCP .. preciate that one..

I must be just wierd or something, allthough I usually fly my Domi I allways used the drones for close in support, only when things couldn't get close enough did I send them out in an offensive manner.
So now I can't carry 30 heavies I can still carry 15, and yes I'm training the skills up now.

it doesnt matter what you say,3 heavy drones circling a battleship is pathetic. it looks stupid,and by some of the replies to this guys valid grief,most of you probably didnt bother to train heavy drones anyway,or you would have used them.
what cpp have done to the drone options is great,but cutting the drone bays in all ships is by far the worst thing they've done with the new patch.worse than the font which i dont have a problem with btw,go on,admit it,the dronebay nerf sucks NIKKI |

To me it seems like Gallente got buffed purely by numbers, but in terms of coolness factor - even 15 drones didn't strike me as paticularly spectacular, 5 just seems like too much bang for what you see...

At first I wasn't at all happy with the drone bay reduction, but seeing my Hammerhead I's in action, they did as much damage with just 2 of them as 4 did on my Retriever. So you don't get to use more than 3 Heavies, they do the alot more damage than before the patch.

Oh yea? Please explain to me in complete detail (Skills & exact dom setup - plz no shield tank setup since this would take me a lot of extra training, and tank must be able to sustain lvl4 mission damage) how you achieve this Uberness (going solo against BSs, cruisers and frigs). If ya cant i wont believe ya.

Exactly.
I was a bit shocked to find i had to dump some of my drones in space. I still have a kestrel armed with Cruise that I was not *forced* to deal with but ......
I have been very pleased with the new strength of three medium drones - so much so that I sent them to "deal" with a Gurista BS and they kept it entertained and even did it some damage. I have no extra uber drone skills and yet they did the job sufficiently whilst i delt with the other BS.
So, if you are not happy with your new reduced BS (and i'm trained up to DI4 - and thats it!) then maybe you need to change tactics?

Use your braincells (if you actually have more enough to use a plural amount).
The people who are whining about a "drone nerf" obviously haven't used their braincells and haven't noticed that light drones have had a near doubling of their *base* damage, and that medium drones have had a 33% *base* damage increase. Why have I emphasised the base part? Simple really, that means thay have had that damage increase before any skills or modules have been taken into account.
If your dumb enough to use 3 heavies over 5 mediums and 5 lights then you deserve to ride a pod.

Edited by: Veronique Lamonte on 18/12/2005 02:31:04 people are happy with what they are used to. its just not the same game anymore,if cpp want to cut down on the lag the first thing they could have done is get rid of the dustclouds in deadspace for one. alot of people are not happy,the miners are furious,i for one cannot say to cpp "here im only paying you 7 euros this month" like i said it doesnt matter who flames us drone bay nerf whiners,it sucks period. i am having trouble with it,the raven is now significally weaker psycologically. its not the same ship anymore,the nerf is unfair
a hull module to accomodate extra drones or a 15m3 per level skill needs to be implemented NIKKI |

Dust clouds would only create client side lag which has little to no bearing on server side lag.
And secondly using drones on a Raven implies that they are there as an anti frigate measure. You obviously have tried this out before coming to the forums (I mean anything else would be utterly illogical right?) fitting 5 lights and 5 mediums gives you far more flexibility (you dont have to fit a webber to kill drones) and you can carry a flight of either light or medium EW/Nos/Repair drones.
I mean, surely you'd have actually taken the effort to look at the situation and thought about it before coming straight to the forums and spouting horsemuck just because all the cool kids are doing it?
Or maybe thats too much like hard work?
