With the given slot changes, will this have any effect on the T2 version layouts(Stealth Bombers)?
There's been some talk but nothing definite, what is most likely is t2 ships are going to be balanced on an entirely different basis rather than just across the board improvements. |

Drones at the frigate level are especially hard to use as enemy frigates can eliminate drones in the blink of an eye forcing you to choose between microing them in and out of your drone bay (which will probably lead to them just shooting you while the majority of your dps is wasted) or let the enemy shoot them and lose most of your dps. |

You are forgetting that drones are also a very potent anti-frigate weapon for all larger hulls. That's the reason why gallente drone ships always have guns : while the ennemy focus on drones, he's not focusing on you, and you melt him. By the time your drones are dead, he is dead too. Ever faced an ishkur in a frigate ? As fast as you can kill the drones, you still die doing it, and the ishkur is still there shooting at you.
Yes the Ishkur does well in frigate battles for the reason you mentioned, but don't forget that is at point blank and more of the ishkurs dps comes from blasters, any decent pilots knows that if you can keep out of the Ishkurs blaster range, you can easily eliminate its drones and kite it to death, if you're point blank brawling a blaster Ishkur and shooting its drones you're doing it wrong. |
