Maybe reducing the drone bay to 150 instead of 200m3 would be better. It would leave pilots the opportunity to take up to 10 medium AND spare drones, or a mix of meds/heavies.

In fact 150 is the dronebay Ravens and Tempests have and they are BATTLESHIPS!

Gallente ARE the drone race, so let them keep their edge, but don't overdo it

The thing that puzzles me is vexor vs. thorax, the drone cruiser is less powerful drone-wise than the blaster cruiser !!

Apart from this, YES, nerf oversized plates and apply an overall boost on cruisers.

On a sidenote, it's hard to boost a class of ships when there ARE inbalances inside said class ...

People trying to deny it either are flying one, or have never flew in PvP against one while themselves not in something REALLY stronger like a Raven, Deimos or something else costing 10 times more.



While I do believe that it's overpowered, I have to say that it CAN be beaten by a platerupture if you manage to kill its drones quickly (and go for berserkers/wasps first), but it requires some luck and a mistake will get you very dead ...

..do you people realise that you need uber drone skills to use its drone bay anyway?


Hmm, lemme think about this a bit ...

drones lvl.5 takes some time I admit : I'd say between 5 and 10 days accroding to your attributes
Apart from this, scout drone lvl.3, drone interfacing lvl.3 and heavy drones lvl.3 is probably everything u need to be DECENT with thorax's drone bay

So it is between 6 and 12 days at the most, hardly what I would call UBER skills

(granted, now we have T2 drones, but the're still uncommon so i didn't take them into account)
