Currently there is no race specializing skill required for T2 Sentries. One could theoretically not train any race drone specialization at all and be able to use every race T2 sentry drone.
Not only is this not skill intensive enough to field them like T2 heavy drones, but it also leaves T2 sentries without the bonus of training racial drone specialization. The skill adds +2% to drone damage for each level of drones requiring the skill.
I propose that the drone racial specialization skill be added at a prerequisite to T2 drones.
Minimum level being four, just like their cousin the T2 heavy drone. This would bring it more in line training wise, and allow for a potential of up to +10% more damage.
I am sure it has been brought up again but I believe the proposal is locked due to the 90 day rule. Drones need some serious love and this is one of several steps of love towards drone lovers like myself.

yeah, making them harder to use counts as love. not supported.

Sentry drone DPS is fine. So reduce sentry drone DPS by 9.1% and add 2% damage/level of spec skill. Result - no change in sentry DPS upon training racial drone spec V.

This is how I would do it (maybe balance at level 4, but *shrug*). The description for each spec. skill does not limit itself to particular varieties of drones. Making things like this consistent across drone sizes/types makes things a lot more intuitive, and less like it was thrown together in a rush without proofreading.

Forcing people to choose a racial drone spec is stupid. Changing which race of drone you are using is akin to changing the ammo in your guns/launchers. There is no reason to nerf drones.

By that thinking then all race drone specializations should be removed so there is less skill involved in launching T2 drones.
Are you serious?

except that drones have different tracking, speed, optimal and fall off depending on race. its akin to completely swapping your weapon systems. ♥

Edited by: Aamrr on 28/03/2011 17:03:42 If you honestly think this is a drone nerf, you're ******ed. Anyone that's spent the time to train sentries has already gotten the racial drone specialization skills up to at least three.
It's a nice, appropriate buff for a class of ships that needs a moderate boost. Supported.

This, otherwise I support this topic.
This signature is useless, but it is red.
