The gallente and amarr drone destroyers need work. I know you don't want them to field medium drones. so why not change the bonus a bit:
15-20% drone damage per level
This will make them true drone ships that aren't as reliant on the fail split weapon systems idea. |

Its a bit better, but I still believe an increase drone damage bonus is simply far better.
a 15-20% drone damage bonus will make the drone destroyers on par with the missile destroyers.
The extra drone bandwidth is somewhat pointless, medium drones work poorly against frigates and destroyers will die the second anything bigger than a frigate decide to lock them.
A 20% drone damage bonus will really make the drone destroyers up to par. Before you say it would be OP, drones have many weaknesses to compensate for this high bonus: They have travel time, destroyable, and once all your drones are gone, well game over. These destroyers will only be using light drones, not mediums nor heavies, so their dps will not be ridiculous.
When using lights warriors are really the only light drones work using:
with a 20% bonus per level: 80 dps -> 160 dps. With 2 improved tech 2 drone damage mods: 236 dps. Then add in 5 light neutron blasters with caldari navy antimatter: 190 dps
Total dps: 190 + 236 = 426 dps - Upclose dps.
As you can see it still does less dps than the catalyst but it has an advantage in ability to reach with drones.
***A 20% drone damage bonus is what the drone destroyers need to be made decent.*** |

It does not dps near the Coercer. ;)
It easily does more dps than a Coercer and also has more tank if you fit 6 weapons in the highs. It relegates the Coercer to kiting and sniping, and that's still not enough for you ? You can't expect a ship that brings a ton of utility with its neuts and ewar-drones to have the same raw damage capability as a ship that brings just dps to the table.
No way would you be able to fit more tank and more gank on this destroyer compared to the coercer.
Besides frigates and destroyers can easily instapop light drones and kite out of the range of neuts, making your drone destroyer pretty much helpless.
The coercer can easily outrun the "dragoon" and stay out of its neut range while trivially melting it. |

The issue I see with the Dragoon is that for small frigate fights, it the small nos being effective counter against the neuting. The nos allows the frigate to suck enough cap to keep his modules running.
More dps imo is better than the neuts. |
