Carriers have special reasons for going the way of having an increased control limit that do not apply to subcap drone boats. There is no "missing link" that needs to be filled. This is a bad idea and CCP would never consider it.
Tell them young noob, you know it all.
After all, it's not like doneboats used to have little swarms surrounding them. But that's before you were born, thus didn't happen.

Take issue with the tone of my response if you like, but don't call me uninformed unless you're prepared to actually disagree with the substance of my post.
Carriers have no "special reason" and your post has no substance. You're just against it for no reason, because you've known nothing else than the current status quo, for which there's no longer any purpose in keeping.

Needless to say I was less than pleased when they reduced the drone limit to begin with. Besides the current implementation and control is in dire need of updating anyway. I'm guessing you don't do much large scale fleet combat... With 3000 ships battling it out, each capable of using 5 drones it still lags with time dilation. Adding another 5 drones would just make it unbearable again. I may not have been around when it was 10 drones (still been with the game longer than this character), but adding more drones for subcaps will not solve subcap drone usage in any way.
The lag is from ppl, not drones. New drone handling serverside count drones that you put on the same target as a single entity, whether 1 or 10. That is the whole point.
Unless you split your drones to more than 5 targets, breaking 5 drone cap adds no additional server load.

Back in the day when I was a youngling I got it up to 13 before the rebalance (not nerf) kicked in. I considered whinging and then thought: 1. No one would listen; 2. No one would care and 3. It was better for the servers of the time.
Leave it as is
Besides, can you imagine how hard it would be micromanaging your drones when there's 10 of the buggers getting aggro...

It's a nerf. Balance is relative. Drone output from nondrone boats with tiny bay got much more powerful than before, while droneboats stood still. Btw, if you got a buff, as the majority did, will you whine?
