Brace yourself people, it's coming:
"Medium drones were tracking small targets a bit too well. So we increased their optimal signature radius to 125 and increased their tracking by a factor of 1.6x, resulting in an overall -23.2% reduction in effective tracking. The improvement was quite noticeable, we were still able to use them to kill frigates, but it took a while longer."

Actually, this is a boost to light drones more than anything.

I heard that medium drones speed was getting lowered too, and heavy drones made faster.

And it was time it happened. I have used hammerheads against webbed interceptor and they did fine. (granted using my warriors would have probably killed him faster, but he was dead). Right now the only reason to use light drones is because your target is faster than your medium drones. AFs are pretty much screwed against medium drones.

The combination of web nerf + medium drone fix was quite refreshing tbh.
I was on test server yesterday in a Paladin (web bonus). Had to pull in my Hammerheads and throw out Warriors to actually do any decent damage to light targets. Cruisers were ripped apart by Hammerhead + web as usual.
This is a reasonable buff to small ships. And it makes light drones more useful, hence I posted that this is a buff to them, earlier.

With the speed, MWD changes the web changes and now the drone fix blasters ships (gallente gets hits hard) are realy taking a hit i mean solo ships are still going to be nano ships for the win and now long range ships, blaster ships on their own just will not cut it most of the time i see them becoming a fleet setup and no longer a good solo option.

Blaster ships in anything larger than a quite small gang fail due to range.
Anyone hear anything about sentry drones? CCP still hasn't announced a nerf for those; I still have some intact systems remaining, and I can't have anything worth the effort while I wait for crosstraining to finish! ----

I'm okay with it, really; medium drones have been decent vs everything since they fiddled with drone tracking a very long time ago. Besides, if you can fit a full flight of meds you can fit a full flight of lights, being as drone bonuses aren't as specific _____________________

Why oh why CCP hates Gallente? They are nerfing Gallente on all fronts. These nerf come so quickly, how come that you have to already fix dampeners/gal recons, fix drones UI and commands???????

Oh yeah. That's good. Taking out the major usefulness they have for a missile spec'd character, against small targets.
Lovely.

TBH they sould make med drone DPS on par with med turret DPS
EG, a med drone ishtar does 600 dps, just like a deimos, then i'll accept this nerf.

Well... this is only a problem if the ship has a small drone bay. Since you can only put 5 drones in space, you can take medium and small drones in any decent combat ship, and take out the suitable size when needed.
