to start off with
THIS IS NOT A WHINE
just an observation.
All damage systems can be affected by an ewar of some type
turrets - tracking disruptors /ECM
missiles - defenders / ECM
smartbombs - neuts
this of course leaves drones.
Drones can't be jammed ( well it says you are jamming it but its still shooting you and doing damage)
neuting drones has no effect from what i can see
and tracking disruptors don't seem to be working on them either
so before someone shouts SMARTBOMBS!
smartbombs have a pathetic range, and currently have such bad damage that 2 large smartbombs can't kill T2 heavies quickly.
even if Ewar worked on drones it would require 5 modules of each ewar to be usefull....
maybe this is made up for in their lack of general unbonused DPS.
just thought i would raise the topic to the floor for some burnt edges....

Sooo..... You aren't even sure if you even have a point of some sort and just decided to spam the forums with some random crap anyways?

its not random crap... its a valid point all weapon systems have an effective counter except one.
just because i'm not whining doesn't mean i don't have a point

None of the other weapons systems require you to chase them(after a disconnect)/wait for them prior to warping out.

Meet mr missile launcher. He's my effective counter. Argument void.

Believe it or not Ms. Caldari alt, but a majority of available ships are turret based 
As for original post:
Smartbombs are indeed pathetic in the extreme and not an option unless you devote all (or most) highs to them which means you are probably in a drone carrier of your own.
What does work however is a web and guns, use that and drones will be popping fast enough.
If you have drones of your own you can use them to attack his drones while you lay into his ship.
The scary Gallente pilots are the ones who have figured out that the blaster bonus is actually quite nifty and use drones as distractions while they kill you 
After the introduction of bandwidth, combat drones have actually become rather well balanced if you ask me.
eWar drones needs a look-see though, they are either borderline overpowered or completely useless. |

Drones can be shot at. No other weapon can be destroyed. Still, if you want to make TD's work on drones.... well, I hardly see a problem (or a point) with that other than wasting dev time. |

Smartbomb > Drones
Wish I could do that to turrets and launchers. |
