I think putting Imicus with 20 bandwidth vs 15 for all other frigs may put this frig in dominating position, like Tengu comparing to other T3. Especially if whole concept of this new frigs designed for new people using distance tanking/drone dps techniques.
To keep things a bit balanced I'll love to see Magnate with 20 bandwidth and less drones bay capacity.
Yes, I understand it is for new people in game, who want to try different things and exploration is a sort of content to keep people in game, especially in the beginning of the game mechanics learning curve.
Therefore, if we look a bit ahead, developing exploration as mini-profession (it is not anymore, btw) can just go along the path like Imicus-Vexor-Helios-Ishtar or
Magnate-Arbitrator-Anathema-Pilgrim
Since both of them based on drones, I guess Magnate deserve 40 Band.
From my personal experience, quiet a number of people will switch to Gila at very early stage, once the get to cruiser hull, especially with some drone skills trained already, and with further development toward Tengu. |

But those Amarr cruisers only have tops 50m3 bandwidth. You're talking about giving the frigate 4/5s of the DPS projection of the cruiser. Amarr's pattern on their drone boats is fly less, have more in reserve. the 15/45 first along those lines. Even the Amarr T3, the Legion, in it's Drone boat configuration is only 50m3 bandwidth, and 200m3 bay.
It is not about giving frigs too much dps comparing to cruisers. It is about the situation when one frig is overpowered over 3 other in terms of promoting concept. Why should I fly other frig if Imicus have such a superiority for hi sec exploration? |

Does CCP have any plans to give covops the ability to reliably access low/nullsec exploration sites, or should I sell my cheeta and start exploring in lolfit pve ships?
