Edited by: BlackHole Bob on 07/03/2006 08:05:33 Here is a Pic I shot last night ...
Webifier and Target Painter Drones .... Combo'd up and in full color :):)
Read the caption at the bottom for full details...

Is anyone else using drones in this capacity or in other combo's??
The reasoning here is I web and Paint "without tieing up mod slots" on my raven and precious cap. I also hit harder as they are slowed and painted of course with missles. As you see from this photo it works well against battleship NPC's and also frigate wingman npcs to...Photo Here.

Hmmm. I think that maybe I should revisit my decision to not train for the newer drones yet.

As my Drones are my primary weapon, no.
If I'd use them to some other fancy thinggy, my DPS would suck so much that I couldn't kill a single frigate.
If we'd had previous 15 drone configs, then I'd propably use the combos. --- Regional Sell orders |

I could see where with having to HEAVILY rely on drone combos might no be great
Maybe "support" combos?

Well, I can put a real target painter/webber/nos/ect in tho =) It's thrice as effective.

Wonderful thing about the Dominix. It can carry three full "flights" of drones.
So you can have your DPS drones, a backup set of DPS, and then "trick" drones - repper drones, ECM drones, webber drones, whatever. Makes the Dom a wonderful, wonderful support vessel. -------------- What good are actions if there's no one to tell the tale afterward?

You forgot the fact a domi moves like a brick in treacle when it needs to get the heck out of dodge.

With al that trained in making damage drones do the most damage the amount of damage you give up when using painting drones etc. just isn't worth it. ( note I fly HACs, different for battleships and heavy variants I think )

For specialised drone ships like the Arbitrator, Vexor and Dominix, I think that your best bet is still to go with damage-dealing drones.
But for gunboats with decent drone bays, the Armageddon for example, then the new drones offer lots of new options.

actually, i'd never considered it, but now that i use tii launchers, tii torps are useless against even bs unless you have multiple painters - this could mean that using these drones allows me to use rage torps solo again...yum ____________________________ Malthros Zenobia Says - You:, Us:

I love multiple drones with my dear old Domi....
And I often use them in groups, most commonly 4 x Combat + 1 x Target Painter.
Then get out the Shield and Armour repairers after the event to fix buddies.
Two things really bug me, however: firstly you cannot put such a grouping into a 'Group' - I've never understood this - why can't we mix drones in any 'Group' we like?; secondly, that none of the new drones show their Shield/Armour/Structure stats - and always fly back at the slowest pace ever!!!
That said, they do seem to be behaving a little better now....
