Other than smartbombs? They orbit me at about 1-2 times a second and move far faster than any gun in the game can track. Even my missiles miss. Of course I found an easy solution--take off all my guns and cover my Moa with 4 smartbombs (and keep the heavy missiles for other enemies). The instant they get withint range, I slam the smartbombs, and they shatter into oblivion.
But is there any other way? Or do the devs want to revive "smart" bomb use?

Not that you need it that much, medium pulse track them well, kestrel with rockets takes them out fast asewll.
You might need better gunnery skills?

I used small neutron blasters for 2 minutes, not one hit. With a couple tracking computers and lowslot tracking mods. No my gunnery skills aren't that good (i.e. total ****), but if a boosted small neutron can't hit them, not much can...
I tried drones--they get OMGWTFPWNED by the rogue drones. I would try the webber, but IMO the smartbombs are just, well... easier  . I need to take a FRAPS video of one of those 20-drone groups running up to me and just exploding 
How powerful do rogue drones get? Do they get up to battleship-size? If so, webbers might be pretty damn useful

You can use the real tiny close-range weapons to hit them.
I now fit three "dual light pulse lasers" on my Maller, and then I could hit the drones ok.
The "gattling pulse lasers" are even tinier, and track better.
For a Moa you could try the light electron blasters, or rocket-launchers, did you try those?
In my opinion you should always fit one rocket-launcher if you have several launcher-hardpoints. Keep the option to use defenders for defense, and rockets to hit small vessels.
*edit*
I see that you tried the biggest of the light blasters. Maybe should really go smaller.
And optinally try running a 'sensor booster' along with them.
*edit2*
Hmm, you should be able to arrange the encounter so that you only get groups of 6 drones at a time.

Light medium or heavy drones? I find light drones are best due to their small size and high speed. Medium and heavy drones are missile bait, and medium drones just dont have the tanking and damage to survive. Your options are really confined to light or heavy. never use medium drones.

What size smartbombs and what flavour are good for killing the drones? I was wondering how to go about destroying them, I tried one of the 2/10 complexes with rogue drones in them, they came at me all at once, and I could only webbify one of themand hoped the others wouldn't rip my hull to shgreds in the meantime. I have a small plasma and graviton smartbomb that I was alternating in use to see which one was better, though they didnt seem to do much on these "low threat" drones.
Could be that I'm just going about it all wrong... hehe

I don't know if all the Rogue Drone Complexes are the same, but I rolled up a lvl one with a Coercer single handedly. It wasn't even well tanked. The tracking bonus on the Destroyers work wonders.

Nah i think he is talking about the Shredder and ripper drones found when performing that saim minn (sp?) mission. If so, those are a whole different animal than those found in drone complexes.

In a 2/10 complex equip yourself with a Afterburner (10mn preferable) and a armour tanked setup, then orbit the 32k cruisers at 2.5km. They can't hit you when you orbit that close. The frigates will hit you but the armour tank setup will repair you well enough.

Agreed. I did a complex in my Thrasher with no problems.
Either free the slaves or we will come and get them.

Ive done a number of these "dungeons" with my ships. Dual light Pulse or Beams work a treat. Fitted to either my Malediction (pulse) or my tanked Coercer (beams) no problems at all.
In the Inty they barely even hit me and the Coercers rigged to take it.

This was a Caldari/Ishukone mission in Dunraelae, level 2. It puts me against a bunch of weak drones (although they do a LOT of damage, they can break my medium shield booster II tank).

LOL, I thought Cruisers in a 2/10 was normal. There are even BS's at the 3rd stage. Incidentally the Complex I'm refering to is Altrinur and it doesn't allow destroyers. Mind you I haven't tried it since the 3007 patch. |

There are probably drone spawns, that are more difficult than others. Two days ago I bought a Thrasher and immediately tried a lvl-2 mission with it. Objective was to kill a single ship. As I warped in, a warning popped up that there are rogue drones. I attacked one and they destroyed my Thrasher in less than thirty seconds I think.
Since then I've done some rogue drone missions with my rupture and it was much easier. I fitted it as armor tank for this purpose and I managed to kill some spawn even without losing shield after a learning phase. I think that these were probably different drones. Mainly drones with threat level low or very low I guess.
The main problem was to hit them. I used medium autocannons and didn't have high enough skills to hit anything fast at close range. I recognized that most of the damage was dealt by my heavy missiles. 
So for the next mission I equipped a webber, looked at the description of the drones, some had "warp disruption", some "shield recovering..." (?) in it and some had "shield boosting entities". I interpreted the last as that they support their "mates" with shields. Don't know, if this is right ! But I targeted these first, used my webber and shot them down easily. Then rest was easy, too.
I hope, that I get the same mission again that I once failed with my thrasher to see, if I manage it now and if there are really some sort of tougher drones.
BTW: I use my rupture with armor tanking, because I don't have enough skill to use the 50% shield harders, can't use my mwd there anyway and I have met so many NPCs in these missions that attacked with emp damage and eat up my shield and cap in seconds. Problems that i didn't have with my armor tank setup, although I don't have the skills to get the best out of armor tanking, too.

Not all complexes of the same difficulty seem to be the same, can someone confirm this?
At first I tried a 1/10 complex, as i didnt know how difficult they were. I couldnŠt enter with a destroyer, so I entered with my Jaguar (Assault Frigate) and then couldnt use the second gate.
Next I went to a 2/10 complex and was happy when I was able to enter the second gate, I had to fight quite a bunch of 42.5k cruisers, assisted by lots of frigates. Once I had to fight six of those cruisers at the same time. As someone mentioned, they arenŠt a big problem though, as they wonŠt hit you.
In the third "level" I encountered a 500k pirate. The ship wasnŠt a known battleship to me, but it was definatly 5 or 6 times larger than a nearby cruiser. I got it down to the armor when a volley of missiles ripped apart my shields, my armor and half of my structure.
Right clicking only brought up the submenu for the complex (approach, show info etc.) so I lost my ship 
Well, and now I read that other people entered such complexes with destroyers? Well I could definatly not, as I said, I couldnŠt even enter the second level of a 1/10 with a elite frigate.

Whoah. That hasn't happened to me. I know lvl 4 ones with a BS at the end (they only allow up to BC) and quite some lvl 3 ranging from single Cruisers with up to 55k bounty surrounded by 6k frigs to about 10 Cruisers at once. o.o. I'm not sure if the complexes are entirely balanced, the serpentis ones seem pretty easy, though. (And I got 2 pieces of Shadow Serpentis loot of a lvl 3 one, cough.)

In the third "level" I encountered a 500k pirate. The ship wasnŠt a known battleship to me, but it was definatly 5 or 6 times larger than a nearby cruiser. I got it down to the armor when a volley of missiles ripped apart my shields, my armor and half of my structure.
Right clicking only brought up the submenu for the complex (approach, show info etc.) so I lost my ship Neutral
Well, and now I read that other people entered such complexes with destroyers? Well I could definatly not, as I said, I couldnŠt even enter the second level of a 1/10 with a elite frigate.
Whoah. That hasn't happened to me. I know lvl 4 ones with a BS at the end (they only allow up to BC) and quite some lvl 3 ranging from single Cruisers with up to 55k bounty surrounded by 6k frigs to about 10 Cruisers at once. o.o. I'm not sure if the complexes are entirely balanced, the serpentis ones seem pretty easy, though. (And I got 2 pieces of Shadow Serpentis loot of a lvl 3 one, cough.)

Not all complexes of the same difficulty seem to be the same, can someone confirm this?

Well this confirms that the 500k drones still exist since the 3007 patch. If anyone manages to actually survive this stage please post here. I'm still trying to figure out a configuration that won't require equiping two rocket launchers loaded with defenders to handle the cruise missle spam. |

I solo 2/10 Drone Infestation complexes.
I hit any drone further than 25k with my 5 250 rails, web any drone that gets within 10k, and use my drones to attack the webbed. All in a Thorax.
Easy.
