Lmao.
Anyway, you've boned the hell out of drones in a PVE sense. Sure, I get you wanted to kick Carrier ratting in the nuts, and you've done that, fairly successfully. I just don't think it was necessary to make it so you get perma-Webbed/Scrambled in a deadspace pocket, and then can't deploy the drones because they'll eat them alive.
But lets see what cool ideas the community has come up with to combat this:
1) Carry more drones.
- This is probably the stupidest idea, you know, because of all those hulls with all dat drone m3. Plus, drones aren't 'consumables'.
2) Just carry an RR for your drones.
- This is also fairly hilarious, and also fairly stupid. Lets sacrifice a highslot for an RR for _drones_. And while we're at it lets hull tank our ships too.
3) Just fly a Caldari hull.
- This is legit, honestly, but sort of sidesteps the point that you've boned a lot of hulls out of being able to conduct PVE work.
I don't mind so much, I'll live with it. If I can play Invoker in DOTA2, I can Micromanage a few drones. I'd prefer not too, seeing as the drone interface is still horrible, but whatevs. You probably shouldn't leave it like this though, it's kinda silly.

I'm looking at and leaning more to an Auto Cannon BS reather then Missiles myself. Everyone is equally boned. Even little Johnny in his big bad Machariel is going to be webbed/scrammed and lose all his drones in the second pocket of worlds collide and there's nothing he can do about it. And he's going to sit there like an idiot impotently firing his 800mms at the frigates. Former member of CSM6, Champion of the Gallente Master Race. |

Could be but I have not needed to use drones after puting a webber on my Vargur.
Edit: I'm just guessing but the Amarr Paladin fitted with a webber and Mega pulses + tracking scripts mite be able to pull this off to.
Edit2: A blaster Krones is looking more do-able as well. Just have to run down the stuff that likes to set 50km out. |

Ya but you dont get the same kind of tracking inc. in tracking Enhancers as you can get in tracking comps scriptied for tracking.
As well I'm just using a tech 1 webber with no ship bonces. Both the Krones and Paladin fittes can get scripted tracking comps and bounses to webbers. |
