I run level 3 missions and those frigates that orbit me at 1,500m's are driving me nuts
My Drones skill is still only level 2 and I have other things I have ahead of getting that to level 5 at the moment. Would a medium drone do any better on my Ferox then two light dones or should I not even bother?

If your ship can only fit 1 medium or 2 small the drones aint for you better to get a webber

Lights would do best. Train Drones up to four, toss some Hobgoblins or Hornets on there, and let them go to town on the frigs. They'll work wonders. -------------- What good are actions if there's no one to tell the tale afterward?

Medium drones are slower than light drones and that seems to make them take more time to kill frigs. If there's a mix of frigs and something else, go with mediums. "Big guns and heavy armor what else is there?"

I hardly ever use lights, medium drones seem to work the best for allaround use.

I'd imagine the drones would start eating their own scrap if NPC's started using smarts o_O

I use 5 hammerheads for my lvl 2 missions, so its pretty much all frigates & with interfacing 4 the drones kill more than i do with my small guns. Its actually annoying trying to target something in the overview only to have it poped by a drone before i can start to lock :)

Mediums for the most part.
Vs. the intercepter type mobs, lights take them out faster, but vs. most frigs, Mediums have no trouble keeping up with and hitting targets.

Most smartbombs tend to be rather useless, hittin 10% at most of rats. However the faction smartbombs can instablast multiple spawns due to longer range. Some lvl3 and lvl4 missions you can instawin due to the encounter spawn being within your smartbomb radius. Instabalst rats ftw! --- Slot 10 Akemons Modified 'Noble'Zet 5000 implant +8% Armour FREE |

Medium drones work very well against all types of frigates and cruisers IF you have the correct skills trained. By this, I mean first and foremost having 'Drones' to lvl 5. Doing this gives you access to 'Drone Interfacing', which gives you 20% extra damage per level, and 'Combat Drone Operation', which gives your drones 5% extra damage per level. I had problems killing the toughest frigates with 4 mediums (Drones at lvl 4), but with Drones at lvl 5 and the two skills above at lvl 3, even 30k frigates are killed fast. This is in a Raven though with 5 mediums. Btw, a Ferox should be able to carry 2 medium drones and a light....

Great replies - I'll get 'er done.
Looks like I'll be using two mediums and a light for level 3/4 missions.

I've got 4mil SP in Drones, and i've used my first light drones today :P = 5xHobgoblin IIs in my new Ferox toy.
Usually I use 5xMed drone II of whatever I need, which is all I need usually for lvl3s. ---

Very often, at least on level 3 missions, the annoying frigates orbit at about 7-8 km. So smartbombs wont reach them.
What is better - drones or guns if you have just basic skills within those 2 fields? I would think medium guns would be better than medium drones, right?

No, med guns can't track fast enough, most of the time. ---
