Me and friend were assaulting a POS with fighter drones. After shooting a medium autocannon battery for 20 minutes we decided the drones were useless.
I have to say that again... the drones were orbiting the stationary battery in a tight, slow orbit. At perhaps 200 meters. At that range the stationary battery should have been effortless to hit by a slowly orbiting spacecraft. I mean stationary targets are easy to hit right? But drones did no damage!!
I think this is two separate problems. Eve doesn't improve hits at point blank range, and the second problem, is that nobody has ever balanced drones.
Instead of drones giving flexibility to a ship, they seem to be as useless as any other weapons system, only working for a specific class of targets. This seems to contradict the whole idea of drones. That is, drones are a backup weapons system, hard to disrupt and hard to counter. -- You can't do that with a Planet. |

I actually noticed a similar bug whilst doing a mission the other today, I was attacking a structure(solar harvester iirc) with just my drones(5x T2 Mediums), the shields on the structure didn't move, I stopped my drones and then my other character arrived in a frigate and fired off a volley, the damage was immediately apparent, that means the drones weren't doing squat.

Bring a huggin with 4 painters and good skills. Drones use the same code then turrets now and the sig radius of a med battery isnt that big.

should just use sentries, which are meant to be used when it comes to carrier pos bashing. |
