Hi, i'm running MWD for my scythe and for drones it says I should equip Medium Armor Maintenance Bot 1 but I was wondering since i'm a shield healer wouldn't I use Light Shield Maintenance Bot 1?
thanks |

Who says you should fit the med armour drones?
And like a lot of things in Eve it really depends. If you use shield drones then that increases the amount of shield repairing that you can do, which is a good thing.
You could also fit combat drones to help your group deal some more damage, if you are pvping then maybe ecm drones to annoy your opponent and help you escape. Sometimes armour drones are used so you can repair any damage to armour (bleed through) after a fight.
Generally though you want to fit shield drones. Your job is to repair the shields of your fleet mates and they will be grateful if you are really good at it. |

drones do not require cpu, capacitor or power grid. you need room in your drone bay to fit them and bandwidth and drone skills to launch them.
edit: in case you're wondering, you cannot use repair drones on yourself.

Logi drones are fairly negligible compared to the amount repped by your remote rep modules. That's why you'll often see armor drones or ECM drones recommended. Armor doesn't repair itself, so it can be very useful to have some way to slowly repair it between fights, even if it's not very useful during the fight. ECM drones are fantastic for logi boats, either for escaping bad situations or jamming out opposing logistics to turn a fight. I strongly recommend training for them if you plan to fly logi often - just be careful not to jam the people you're supposed to be repping!
Edit: Also recommend you stick to the Scythe until you get your bearings. Scimitars require a lot of skillpoints, namely logistics 4 or 5, to be very effective, and they're much more expensive to lose. www.ensignyooch.wordpress.com

thanks Typically you use drones for secondary repair. As you can't repair armor, you use drones for that.
The idea is to top-up people's armor, not use it for a primaried target.
Now it is also possible to use the same type drones and rep, but usually only when the entire fleet is using logi drones [that's also how they keep logis from popping], or for a little extra rep boost (IMHO ECM drones would be better in that case). |

Uhm, NO
Like with guns, use 1
As you are already shield repping and those shield rep drones are doing near nothing extra compared to the ship, pick armor repping drones to fix armor bleed damage in between fights. Personal channel: Crazy Dutch Guy

There are several possibilities, for example: * If you are in a roaming gang, you might not have time for secondary repping, so choose offensive or ECM drones. * If you are in a camp, you have plenty of time to rep secondary damage.
Then there is the fact that you have 440 m3 cargo room, so room enough for a 50 m3 mobile depot; you can change drones, and even a few modules [Remote Tracking Booster, ECCM, Remote ECCM, MWD, AB, etc.]. |

I fly almost nothing but logi and I tend to vary my drone loadout depending on the fleet we fly and what we expect to face.
Most of the time my scimi has shield rep drones and a single warrior for whoring. In some fleets i go 5 shield and 4 armour drones as we will have interceptors that catch a lot of gatefire and tend to get a tad bit of armour damage now and then so it is nice to be able to fix that up.
If expecting to face a lot of say guardians but not that much incomming dps i switch to ecm drones to help break their cap chains meaning we can actually damage then easier.
BUT in general: put in as many shield repping drones as you can in your shield repping ships and as many armour drones in your armour repping ships as you can. If you can use t2.. do so. |

Scythe and Scimitar had 45 mbit/sec of bandwidth, OP.
This allows them to use 4 medium drones / 1 light drone 1 heavy drone / 2 medium drones 1 heavy drone / 4 light drones
Doing the math you are better off fielding 4 meds / 1 light
ECM drones are your best bet in a lot of cases, as you can use them to try and jam out ships that may be jamming you. They will work even if you are jammed, as long as you assigned them in time. If you are jammed you are useless so this is quite important.
In a more structured fleet going 4 x Shield Drones and 1 x Whorriar (warrior) is a good bet. |
