Fozzie, I think that the augeror and the osprey can too easily be gamed to be used exclusively for cap feeding right now. It looks like you can fit 2 large cap relays on them fairly easily (w/ acr and rcu) which will half rep a battleship capacitor per cycle from about 90k. I understand why you chose to use the bonus that you did to make them a viable part of a cap chain, but you might want to consider a different bonus to keep them a workable member of a cap chain while preventing that kind of abuse.
As far as the drone bonus goes, maybe replacing it with a cap recharge bonus or an MWD cap reduction bonus to help them do their jobs without a cap buddy. |

If drones are only useful after a fight, why give a bonus to them at all? I would rather have something I can use during the fight, then just take extra time afterwards to rep up. |

I could see the Exeq's getting a tracking bonus however and would help the blaster boats in a realistic fashion.
Blasters already track really well. |

That's not to say that the bonus can't be changed, but I want to make it clear that we didn't give them the rep drone bonus thinking "This will be the best bonus we could ever give these ships". It was "This is a bonus that is useful in certain circumstances, provides a clear link to the T2 version and doesn't make these powerful ships too good".
Well that's fair enough, then. |

Blasters already track really well. I was thinking more for optimal range bonuses.
That's just a function of the weapon. No reasonable range bonus is going to help that. |

See module fitting changes. Also, you use the meta 4s, not the T2s. |
