Packing only heavy drones or medium drones doesn't help you much when you have an intercepter orbiting at speed at a reasonable distance, as they simply can't keep up to land a hit.
Light drones are exactly stunning either as anything slower than warriors probably won't be able to even hit the faster interceptors that are using warp disrupters (i.e. >10km orbit)

Heavy drones do very little unless the interceptor is webbed or its pilot is asleep and orbiting at point blank with very little speed.
Medium drones such as hammerheads don't do much to competent interceptors orbiting at >5km, beyond 10km they do nothing.
Light drones are a joke, but then that's partly due to have 400mm plated interceptors flying around and drones other than warriors being too slow to catch up (it takes 10 warriors 1 minute, assuming no losses, to do enough damage to an untanked Crow).

So, the little test. I used a claw, the smallest and fastest interceptor, with a 400m nanofiber plate (on TQ). EM resist is 80%, kinetic resist is 25%. Speed in a straight line is 580m/s. Test were runs without mwd, the claw can't run a mwd + scrambler for very long... let alone mwd + disruptor. I wasn't webbed, nossed..
Except you can operate MWD and scrambler, ergo avoiding all heavy drone fire...
Claw:
Base cap: 225 energy/168.75 sec = 3.3 cap/sec peak
level V cap skills: 281.25/126.5625 = 5.5 cap/sec peak
1mm MWD II, High speed manuvering IV:
activation cost 50x0.8= 40
Duration 10 secs
4cap/sec
Warp scrambler I:
activation cost: 5 energy
Duration 1 sec
1cap/sec

Failing all those, carrying some medium or small drones should prove effective.
They really need to boost light drones, they really are pointless with 1000+ armour interceptors flying about (it takes 10 warriors 60 seconds to cripple an untanked crow).

Given they're cruisers, it'd likely be a few % points. Heavy drones should still be able to hit cruisers. Point out where I said they should not.
Or READ. I want heavy drones to be less effective against frigates. That is ALL.
I am awaiting figures on if light drones need a boost.
Warrior: 1.3x, 4 dmg base, 2sec RoF
Level V skills all round: 1.3x1.25x10x2= 32.5 Dps
Anything slower (read hobgoblins) is a joke as they can't even keep up to land hits on anything >3km/sec.
