Seriously backwards logic by CCP.
If I carry drones, three quarters of the time I'll be carrying either explosive or thermal damage drones. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, I might carry ECM drones.
I will not carry neut drones. They don't neut enough to be any impediment to the opponent.
I will not carry web drones. First they are way too slow to catch even a cold, and Second, no smaller size versions make it not worth considration.
Target painting drones? Seriously? You even bothered to have these?
I mean seriously? Moving on.
Damp drones are stack- no wait, seriously? Target painting drones? That don't even manage to do any real target painting? I mean really the only way to fixing target painting drones is to remove them from the database entirely. There was never really any point to them at all.
Damp drones, as I was saying, are stacking nerfed to hell. Which means in the end they do jack all. Unless you're trying to force an enemy to not be able to engage at his optimal when his optimal is like, 200km, then damp drones are not going to help you. Need moar boost desperately on these.
Is there a tracking disrupt drone? You know there should be if there isn't. Honestly I don't recall if there is or not, but assuming there is, the fact I'm not aware of them probably makes them underpowered. Which is probably more that tracking disruption only recently began to be anywhere near effective as an ewar than the drones just generally suck, but if they work anywhere close to the way the damp drones do then yeah they'd suck. Bad.
In closing- If I'ma givin' up a nice slice of dps, I want to get something for it. Currently ECM drones will marginally give you something as they are somewhat effective from time to time. However none of the others are anywhere near effective enough at what they are supposed to do to be a viable alternative to the dps given up. Maint. bots are effective enough for the sacrifice if I'm working with a gang, but not any ewar drone past the ecm ones.
Solution? Make the others viable, not remove viability of the only marginally functional class.
