T2 is optional and expensive if you dont want to risk losing 4-5mil worth of drones every time from a mission that your making 10-100mil from depending on drops (not even counting bounty). Then use T1 you will only lose around 500K-1M in drones =P
No one forces you to use a drone ship to NPC each ship has advantages and disadvantages.
Use a Caldari ship for NPC they pwn missions, and thats about it lol.
 Quote:
- To make many lvl4 missions in drone ship u must take aggro of WHOLE room instead take it in parts simply because launching drones will pull rats aggro on em
This is pure bs, if your that bad with using drones just fit a single gun and take a shot at 1 group... they aggro you you release drones.. rinse repeat...
Quote:
- If you get disconnected becasue fo your isp/ccp server crash/mouse biting tho cable you loose now valuable 5 drones because before you will log back in and slowboat to them, they will be killed.
Dont use T2 drones. And always carry spares.
Quote:
- To rat vs longrange 0.0 rats (ie. angels) you must also sit duck and wait for them to aggro you before you can start dpsing in drone boat, because otherwise they will get killed.
Try targeting them with a gun and shooting.. it doesnt need to hit it'll pull aggro and your drones dont die. You also dont need to wait if u do this.
Quote:
Also when you log in after dc, drones should reconnect with your ship, slowboating 50km to get them is NOT FUNNY AT ALL.
BM your drones and warp to 0. Problem solved.
Maybe its just me but i dont see the problem.

I gotta say, I don't see any need for this. When running missions in a drone boat, half the point is the ability to fit a super-heavy tank with the CPU/PG you save on using big guns. Aggroing the whole room is just part of the deal - which, tbcfh, isn't much of a challenge even in the toughest L4's if you know what to do with your domi.
The point about slowboating to get drones after d/c; I see why you'd like it - hell, I'd like it myself - but think about it. How often does your average player suddenly crash (the scenario where drones warping out with you would be a good thing) compared to how often your average player suddenly go logoffski to avoid danger? In the latter scenario, should they really be able to save their drones as well this way?
Did you every try lvl4 mission in dominix with t2 heavy drones ? No ? ztry it and come back then, you will understand. And tell me how extra "heavy on pg and cpu" tank you wanna fit when you got limited slot count ? With just t2 and rigs u cannot perma tank all missions, there is no way fro that.
Poba: that's actualy good idea, whenever you get lagged on next wave/disconnected they should loove half of theyr highslots (should be around 5 mil) then i think ccp would change it right away.
And in response to this, its called a multiplayer game get some friends to help you and you wont need to tank as much damage. You might not be able to kit to permatank every mission but you shouldnt be able to anyway. Removes multiplayer from the game if you ask me. Get some friends to help you you wont need to permatank.
