and why not for a change a Really Big Bonus to Ewar drones ( because except for ecm drones , people don't really use TD or SD drones )

No sorry .. i was tryng to explain to my opponents ...

Other weapon systems can choose their damage types without giving up range (not all).

3 TCs, 2 unscripted and one tracking.. An apoc with mega pulses and scorch.

Put them in and come back to me.

Hell with non t2 they have better tracking than gardes (but worse dps ofc).

Thanks tobias, you made me notice I had put 0.7 instead of 0.07, which makes his post make more sense (indeed I thought he had made the same mistake :D).

Wait, wait, waaaaait.....

Is someone seriously using officer mods to make a point?

I mean, I've been drinking and all...but I didnt think I was drinking BLEECH blended with crystal meth.

You mean the post where I say officer mods are irrelevant.

Are you even reading this? Or are you just headbutting your keyboard and posting the result?

0.0694 without any implant, which rounded to 2 significant is 0.07.

Yeah, but what I said all along is that you have near garde dmg at near garde ranges, with the ability to get more damage (994 dps with conflag (1153 with 5 Hammer IIs), up to 1300 ish if you go out the ass with implants and extra damage mods and such, though thats not really worth it). and/or extra tracking when compared to a sentry boat by scripting.

With a pulse apoc.

And finally, "0.9 is far from 0.7". Yes, yes it is. However in practical terms what difference does it really make? Against close up targets both will be out traversalled (and this will be marginally harder to do with the turreted ship due to scripting) and at thier optimal ranges both ships can target ships travelling at ~ 5-6kms laterally to them (so will be able to target faster ships which are actually approaching).

Except pulse lasers are in no way strictly strictly short range, now are they.

It doesn't take a much to get them over 70km.......and everyone screamed about projectiles till TEs got nerf batted.

Dominix should have a larger drone damage bonus, or 2-3 more drones, or something that allows it to do more damage from its primary weapon platform compared to smaller ships. And less turrets! The current domi is split like the old Naglfar, if you will, and we all know that's not the best way to go.

Just put 3 imperial navy in there. 50-60m each, not much at all (unless you are poor I guess). 994 dmg. Add in the basic implants and your over 1k without OH.

150m! Too expensive I guess you are going to say. Well If a drone user wants sentries that arent going to pop as soon as they are shot at he needs to go faction, and they are 10+m a peice. And they'll still get farked from arty, missiles, stealth bombers and smartbombs.

How many times do I need to type scriptable tracking mods before you notice that? At the distances where something can outtraverse pulses you can use shorter range ammo and script for tracking. Can I do that with gardes? (No, just incase you didnt know.) Can I even move (slowly) away from the thing that is closing with me, or move in such a way as to lower my traversal (I have seen conflicting reports as to the efficacy of this, but I try it anyway). I can with turrets, not with sentries.

You keep going on about how ultra terrible the tracking is on pulses when thier tracking is only 0.002rad/s worse than a garde. I find this amusing.
