Being the 1 race that should be heavly Drone based i think they should all get more drone space so they have replacement drones.
Gal boats losing drones is the Same as someone removing a turret from your ship. A Dark time comes. A time of terror comes. My time. If it offends you. Stop me. |

True, its a big drawback, but it can be countered if you wanna micro (and if you dont wanna micro just dont use drones).
If you see drones take aggro, pull them, and redeploy, so opponent have to relock them. That also helps against NPC rats.
Drones suck more because of damage application issues (travel time on top of usual tracking and sig resolution mechanic for turrets).

Having to depend on 1 flight of drones during pvp is silly given people can lock multiple targets at the same time and drones are so paper thin you can swap in between shots and pick them off.
Ever try sicking a flight of lights on a frig that's being flown by a haff decent player Your going to lose a few drones because drones fly in at a straight line making them an easy target.

People already dislike the travel time of the drones to the targets, however if you make drones spiral towards target to avoid the straight line, easy to kill behavior, then people will complain it takes too long.
If you boost drone bays too much, you run into the issue of it not being balanced against other races, like lasers buring through cap, missiles being reloaded, etc. |

Even if u have extra drones they still have to herp-a-derp there way to there target.
Its the.getting to there.target.that's the problem with drones right now there easy to shoot down. A Dark time comes. A time of terror comes. My time. If it offends you. Stop me. |

I have to agree with this sentiment.
That having been said, I couldn't care less about the sub capital ships for Gallente... they tend to have slightly more drone space than most of the other sub cap hulls. Given the size (or lack thereof) of the small drones, this isn't really registering on an emotional level.
Where I would like to see some improvement tho, would be with Gallente Carriers, Dreads and Super carriers. The dronebay size and the poor DPS bonus needs some love given the size and tracking of Fighter drones. And why Gallente Dreads lost their drone bays is beyond me.... |
