First, when was the last time you saw a fleet of Domis? Honestly? Or heck, a fleet of Gallente ships, period? I've kept an eye on the top 20 killboards, and there's less and less Gallente boats there every year. A year ago, there were two. Now it's down to just one, and that is Talos in the #20 slot. Yeah, I guess in the grand scheme of things it's a meaningless statistic, but it does show something, because I honestly don't remember a Domi making the list in the past 3+ years.

The special cases around drone combat are the fact that they can be destroyed, and that even a dedicated drone boat can only carry a limited amount based on size, and their travel time.

The fastest drone still moves a heck of a lot slower than a missile, and way slower than any turret (which are instant). In many cases, drones (especially heavies) just don't make it to the target before it dies. Sentries don't have this issue, but suffer of all the shortcomings if any turret, plus they're stationary - you either babysit them, or you likely lose them because you have to warp out or they get destroyed while sitting there. If you lose them for whatever reason, you have to dock up and resupply (biggest non-carrier can only carry 3 flights of big heavy/sentry drones in its bay), not to mention the price tag associated with losing a flight of T2 heavies (3 mil at current Jita prices).

While drones travel, they use MWD and approach in a straight line - which results in zero transversal to a stationary target and increased signature radius. Need I say more? And then of course there's smartbombs. A single T2 smartbomb can kill most drones in 3-4 pulses, last time I checked.

There's very good reason why drone boats are just not being used often, or at all. And giving drone boats a module that is WORSE than its turret/missile counterpart is not going to change that status quo.

And another fun drone fact? There are still no implants to improve drone damage. Yep, implants for turrets/missiles were added in 2008, I believe. So, 4 years and counting of being treated as a red-headed step-child. And the only rig that increases damage only affects sentries.
