Is it just me or are there still loads of peeps out there that think the drone changes are bad.
I've read post after post from whingers and whiners saying that drones are now next to useless...Those posters are, to be frank, talking rubbish.
Personally, I'm really looking forward to being able to fly a Domi with 9/10 t2 drones (I just need to put a little time into interfacing and advanced interfacing - 30 days).
Each one of those drones is going to be like two pre patch drones. With lvl 4 in the other new drone skills these little critters are really going to sting.
Lets have a big thumbs up to CCP for making these changes!

you do know that the advance interfacing skill is not on the market and that the mods fit only on carriers dont you

I'd check the detailed description of that advanced interfacing skill before you buy if i were you. Afaik it allows you to use drone modules which are high slot and have fitting requirement that negate all ships except for capital ships.
That said, a Dom carrying 3 waves of 5 new and improved t2 heavies should still be interesting

Please stop thinking u can control 10 drones with a domi. You cant. And i hope it stays that way.
The advanced drone Interfacing + the mods are capital ship only, requiring 75k power grid. Ignore it, unless your a carrier/mothership pilot, and even then its debatable if they are useful
The only nerf i have seen to drones is that heavies dont hit frigs/ceptors too well. Which is fine imo. I have mediums and lights, which, btw, have been boosted immensely in damage output.
There was no nerf to drones though

Yup. As an unfortunate Retribution found out first-hand last night.

Assuming you have Drone Interfacing 4 or 5, quite true.

you've been hoodwinked.
Adv Drone Interfacing is Capital Ship only Heavies are no longer multi purpose drones and the Drone AI didn't get fix. Drones are far from usless but they are deffinatley the weakest of all weapons systems.

I initially prefered prefered my old 11 drone domi to the 5 drone domi I fly now, but having tried the ship out none of the new drone skills, I think I actually prefer the current Domi, because of the enhanced drone damage. I'm looking forward to getting level 3-4 of the new drone skills, to see how those drones really pan out....

yeah drones are really weaker as other weapon systems... because of this the domi and the ishtar are the weakest ships in their class

I haven't seen light or medium webber drones on market, but tbh, i doubt the light drones need it, they're frikken fast

Not sure whether you taking the **** or trying to say something funny that i dont get so i will just reply with:
I am gallente Specced. I fly Ishtar/Domi/Mega mostly (since the deimos is crap) and im quite happy with the drone changes. Of course it may have something to do with me having drones/heavy drones/drone interfacing + BS @ 5 but meh. Just need to lvl 5 all the new stuff that i will use and its all good
The domi with 10 drones that was on Sisi was stupid. 1300 DPS was just rediculous and needed to be nerfed.
Not to mention the fact that 5 drones is a damn sight easier to manage that 15

Ok maybe it's just me but 2 of the Drone mods at least can be fitted to the BS's etc, but the DO NOT increase drone numbers just range and tracking speed.
