I found Medium Drones a bit disappointing and I've been advised to stick with light drones but I like to put my own spin on advice rather than just become a parrot.

To answer your vague question with a vague answer, it depends. They are slow and have poor tracking so they will have trouble catching and applying damage to fast moving frigates. Against larger targets they are great, though you still need to factor in the travel time. www.ensignyooch.wordpress.com

I am honestly surprised that the ISDs or GMs haven't put a gag on him. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

there are a ton if it depends, I mean due to mechanics heavies can hit better than mediums in some cases. other times you absolutely want lights.
and as Tau said Geckos, which are just crazy. I'll join the chorus asking CCP, don't take my fancy names away from me! In the name of the Limos, the Malkuth, and the Arbalest, so help me pod - Mara Rinn |

Too bad you don't know how settings work obviously.
Blocking someone in game has no effect on the forums Blocking someone on the forum means you can't see THEIR post, not the other way around.
But for some reason, I think soon this will all change as nobody will see your post as you lack the ability to do it.
All your post are locked or will be locked for reasons, I'm still amazed how slow CCP is with their banhammer. Personal channel: Crazy Dutch Guy Help channel: Help chat - Reloaded Public roams channels: RvB Ganked / Redemption Road / Spectre Fleet / Bombers bar |

Are they a super heavy class or just faction version of the heavy ? I would guess that there is probably a different version for each faction that follow the typical traits of their favourite drone.
What is a drone reduced ship ?

Have you considered saving a draft version of that, it would save you so much time typing repetitive replies to my threads ?

I would like to remind people that responding to deliberate trolls who keep throwing bait at you might eventually get you banned too. When you are several times being hinted at the fact that you are being trolled and manipulated ... and you still continue to eat the bait ...
... then there's good reason to believe that you are deliberately replying ... ... and deliberately try to increase the toxicity of the forum's atmosphere.
Remember that trolls bait the ego. They do a lot to make you feel like you are the smarter one, so you completely block out the fact that you're actually the idiot who keeps eating the bait.
It's the weakest minds who are baited the easiest ... because the weakest minds are those who constantly want to "show the troll that he is a fool", while all it achieves is exactly what the troll wants.
Just like this guy does on a pretty much daily basis.
We can only hope that CCP realises that there is a need for adapting the rules to those who keep responding to bait, because they are the actual reason why trolls can be around.
It's EVE logic. If there were no scam-victims, there would be no scammers. If there were no troll-victims, then they would be no trolls.
The forums, though, aren't ingame. The forums throw a bad image onto all of us, including CCP.
Thank you for your consideration and may you, who ever reads this, not be banned for continuously showing weak mindedness by constantly eating the bait.
Petitions are in the working.

I've stopped reporting these posts, I'm sure the moderators are aware and don't need me to keep pestering them and quoting forum rules, so you just carry on ranting off topic with unsubstantiated claims about forum members (Who coincidental your character or your forum buddy is at war with) and it might be all over by the time I post a question that needs to be here for more than a day or two.

I'll play. Seems like fun game.
Almost every ship, modual, rig, weapon in game is good. If used correctly.
A new player using a ship too big for their skills, using heavy drones to shoot frigs in a lv 1 mission is bad.
Me using faction heavies in my Rattlesnake is very good.
Name any item in game and the answer to "is it any good' and the answer is "depends", or "yes and no" or something like that.
A better question would get you better answers. History is the study of change. |

It's more about which path to head along ?
To use heavy drones you need Drones 5
To use Tech 2 drones you need drone operation 5 of that specific size

Tech II drones come in all sizes, and are useable by a majority of ships of cruiser size or higher (it's a rare cruiser or heavier that doesn't have a drone bay). Heavy drones are much more specialized - there aren't many ships outside of Gallente or Amarr (or the SOE ships, the Guristas Rattlesnake and maybe the Serpentis Vindicator) that can make effective use of them.

then go for the t2 in lights and meds ... you are more likely to use them -- unless you plan on being nothing but a BS pilot - which is rarely the case these days .. more likely to use cruisers, and t2 cruiers and t2 frigs etc.. so go with the t2 for now .. still "need" to eventually get the heavies too to round out your char ..

I would guess that there is probably a different version for each faction that follow the typical traits of their favourite drone. What is a drone reduced ship ? The Gecko was given to us by CCP as a 11th anniversary gift. There are a still lot of them available, and they still sell for roughly 28m each.
Geckos are currently unique in their class. They are essentially a fighter in the guise of a heavy drone, and are the only drone to do all damage types ("rainbow" damage). Geckos do more damage than a single heavy drone, and have more hit-points.
A drone-reduced ship has less than 5 drones, but drone bonuses that make the smaller amount of drones effectively the same, or even more.
Example: The Rattlesnake can deploy 2 heavy drones (or one Gecko), and do the damage of 7.5 heavy drones (or 3.75 Geckos). The Rattlesnake also has a bonus to drone hit-points, so those drones have 3.75 times more hit-points, making them very tough. |

When you warp in to Eve New Citizens Q & A there is one drone giving you a message:
