Still fairly new and patiently grinding my SP.
I'm just about ready to move up to my first standard cruiser. Since I'm Minnie, I was wondering if it was possible to configure a Bellicose as a drone ship for lvl 1-2 mission running and some low level pvp. The appears to be balanced enough to support drones and ac turrets although I am aware that there are no bonuses for drones, thus possibly making this whole experiment moot.
Any thoughts or suggestions. I'm hoping I won't have to train out to Gallente (ie Vexor) to accomplish this. |

Forgot to mention, that I do have my drone SP trained up as I am in the minority and enjoy mining. |

If you already have some decent drone skills, it doesn't take much time to crosstrain to a proper drone ship. A vexor with gallente cruiser 3 is probably more effective than a bellicose, even with minmatar cruiser 5, if you fly it like a drone ship. If you are having Smurf problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems but a Blue aint one. |

Or, if you really hate gallente, which I wouldn't blame you for, the arbitrator makes a decent droneship, and the amarr line compliments the minmatar one quite nicely. If you train the two, you can be useful in every fleet, and PvE situation. |

Salvation!
Thank you much...I was dreading cross-training to Gally.

Personally, this is the closest I'd really want to take a bellicose to being a "drone boat."

Without a real drone bonus and with only 40mb3 drone there's not really much reason to try to augment the ship's drone capabilities. Still... [Bellicose, New Setup 2] Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Drone Damage Amplifier II Ballistic Control System II

Only reason I've got a painter there instead of an omni link is a nod to the ship bonus and the fact that it can boost missile damage against smaller targets. |

Is that b/c of the missile bonus or b/c missile is just a better option in this case? |

And missiles don't need tracking and stuff.
I rarely if ever used the tp bonus on bellicose, just fit tank and dps. Life is short and dinner time is chancy Eat dessert first! |

I was under the impression that the changes to mission NPC AI only affected L4s and that light drones were only targetted by frigates (and presumably destroyers), elite frigates, and elite cruisers with medium drones also being targetted by cruisers. Did CCP change their minds and roll out the AI upgrade for L1, L2, L3, and L5 missions and/or belt rats too? |
