im fitting a Myrmidon for L3 missions, fittings i have found include sentry drones and 3 Omnidirectional tracking links. if i use medium drones instead of sentries, should i still fit the omni tracking links?
current planned fit for Myrmidon. I am going to be running L1-L4 missions for Gallente faction

Omni's help all drones, not just sentry drones, so your drones will benefit from it. However, I would recommend swapping one or two of the Omni's for a drone navigation computer. That will help your drones get to a target quicker. |

I heard that on some combinations drone nav computer will make your drones move so fast they will miss the target. any truth in that?

on topic: drone damage is weird. the only reliable way to predict if and how nav comps and tracking links affect them would be a full blown simulation.

It is possible to boost a drones speed so it "outraces" it's own guns.
Generally speaking, drones have two "modes" when attacking a target. Mode 1: They microwarp to the target and fire on it once it is in range. Mode 2: They travel at non-mircowarp speeds and attempt to orbit the target while shooting it.
The drone navigation computer specifically increases a drone's microwarp speed, allowing them to get into range of a target quicker. If they are moving "too fast", they may miss their initial shot as they first get into range, but realize if they are chasing there is a decent chance tracking wont' be an issue. Once they start orbiting and firing (mode 2), the nav comp won't change the drones speed. An omni will still help it track better and hit harder at this point.
It is possible, with fast targets, that a drone must constantly microwarp to it, fire, microwarp to it, fire, never entering the orbit and shoot mode. Most NPC's are not this fast (players in interceptors are though).

Medium drones track fairly well without any Omnis. Note medium drones aren't all that popular, as like heavy drones they have a signature resolution (125mm) you'd see on cruiser-sized guns, meaning that medium drones are subject to exactly the same tracking penalties against small ships that heavy drones are.
I would suggest that you will get better results using a Stasis Webifier in that midslot. Slowing down a target by 55-60% makes small agile ships easier to apply damage to effectively, and I have no trouble hitting even elite frigates with Ogre IIs when the frigates are webbed and scrammed (scram being important as it turns off their microwarpdrive if they have one). https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238931 - an idea for a new form of hybrid PVE/PVP content. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=318489 - Proposal for a new type of tech 2 Destroyer If you want to mine in highsec, read www.minerbumping.com. |

DNC's are quite viable in this new(ish) era of target switching npc's
Drone Base Speed 1xDNC 2xDNC 3xDNC Hobgoblin 3360 5460 6883 8061 Hammerhead 1680 2730 3441 4030 Ogre 840 1365 1720 2015
An Ogre boosted by 2 DNC's has a comparable speed to an un-boosted Hammerhead.
Whilst this does raise the possibility of more overshooting on initial approaches the travel time to & from the target is significantly reduced.
ps. sorry about the appearance of the table, but eve's forums are crap at formatting stuff like this |
