Hello all, This is my first post. I'm a Gallente and a miner. I have only been playing about three months and I need to find information on which drone combats which Npc type. So if I'm attacking/defending vs Serpentis, which drone is optimal? etc. I'm currently in Minmatar space and facing Angels for the first time. I've noticed that my Ogres seem to be about half as effective in damaging them now, and about twice as susceptible to taking damage from them.
Could someone give me a rundown on which type/race of drone is best to use against each of the Npc types? ie. Angels, Serpentis, Guristas, Bloods? I'm having a rough time experimenting to find out these Npc's weaknesses vs the different attack types. (EM, KIN, THERM, EXP)
I would greatly appreciate the help from more experienced players. Particularly as I'm having a rough time figuring out how to 'search' the Forum database here at EVE-online. Where's EVE-I? That had a great forum Search engine. :( Much obliged.

Linky.
Stats on drones, NPC's, resistances, HP, etc. One of the most useful tools ever made for EVE.

hammerheads best overall drones you can get. dont use heavy drones vs anything smaller then battleships. They miss too much and dont dodge enough.

why are people convinced that heavy drones suck against small NPC's?
they work much faster than med/small drones on small 0.0 frigates when the little critters get webbed and even if they arent webbed...they still do a better job because the orbital velocity of an NPC frigate is slow enough for hvy drones to track.
and as for having just hammerheads to take out NPC spawns... good luck against guristas with their 70%+resistance to thermal dmg.
and another thing.. if your drones have to dodge enemy fire in NPC spawns... you're doing it wrong. even with the changed NPC AI drones rarely get shot down if you've engaged an NPC quite solidly.
just as an example of heavy drone pwnage against small rats...
once a drone is in range to say a 0.0 interceptor.. the thing goes down in 5 seconds flat. if you're on the trigger you can take down a whole spawn's frigate support in less than 30 seconds flat.
