I have a Tempest with a long range setup for npc rat hunting. For those pesky npc rat frigates & interceptors that come in close, was wondering which drones are the best to use. I usually take 6 Ogres, but am I better off with Wasps, or a mix of heavies & lights???

For inties go medium drones all the way, and remember to pack your web. Kinetic damage is often a good way to go against npc's. -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia

I¦ll use Vespa Medium Drone, you can hold 15 of them in your Tempest I think. It¦s better to you a large amount of medium than only 5 heavys that you can carry in the bay.

While the thermal damage drones (Ogre, Hammerhead, Hobgoblin) pack the biggest punch, the Kinetic ones (Wasp, Vespa, Hornet) trade a small amount of damage for more speed & superior tracking, which means they hit more often, and are in turn harder to hit themselves. As the other posters have suggested, it's better to have 15 Meds than 6 Heavies, as they cost less, track better, and you can carry/use more of them (unless you're flying a Dominix ). 2 Medium Drones do the same damage as 1 Heavy of the same type (and 2 Light Drones do the same as 1 Medium). Probably better to stick to kinetic/thermal drones as then they damage about the same across shield and armour.

That would mean the best way would be to use 4 x Ogre and 5 x Vespa ? (Ogres are tougher and live longer than Wasps)
You would have 9 drones (maximum you can use with Drone Interfacing 4) and need exactly 1500 m3. |

heavy drones weigh 250m/3 250*9=2250m3 not 1500
