I bet drone assist sympathizers would change their tune in a hurry if goons dropped 1000 dominix on them instead of 1000 megas

I think you mean fighters, I don't see a reason for mining drones to be usable while inside a POS bubble.

Carriers have to stick out of a POS bubble to use fighters. Links can't be turned on inside a POS with the exception of Mining links, which still work.

ahahaha yeah let's call straight up exploiting "being creative"

if we did that you and the chaff that make up your dumpster grade coalition would be bawwwing all over the forums about the big bad goon exploits

FYP.

Irrelevant, because they can just drop more poking out of various points around the bubble to replenish them. Also, being in a POS, they can refill the drone bay until they literally run out of however many drones they stockpiled before the fight. Unless you don't hell bubble the POS, in which case they can just ferry more in to resupply until they run out of money.

Show me another weapon system that doesn't require locking a target (or even being capable of locking it before ewar is applied!) and scales up to a full 255 man fleet and beyond. (Hint: It's not bombs)

that should be the last word really. its kinda cheap and takes away from the social side of the game. you shouldnt be able to fire your friends ships guns.

The real question is what will they do when you guys finally learn to assist your sentries while useing your already trained gallente battleship skill from the baltec fleet to fly domi.

Technically they will turn to bombers because they keep saying it's an efficient counter so tell the higher ups to also start plannign an anti bomber doctrine to counter thier counter.

You can fit a Domi to have 200km drone control range, 191km optimal and 30k falloff with Wardens or 153+42 with bouncers without sacrificing tank. hard to dance around that even before considering dics/hics/anchored bubbles.

It can only lock out to 87km and has 112 scan res, but fortunately sentry assisting doesn't stop to consider silly things like range or time for locking targets. The domi only has to be within drone control range of the target, the insta locking remote sensor boosted bunny takes care of the rest.

Actually what kind of tank does a sniper ship have to shoot at 200km, how well does it target a small sentry drone, and how fast will it die to 250 Dominixes worth of sentry drones

Actually, if you so much as pretended to read the thread, you would realize:

My issue is with scrolling through an overview with over 200 targets on grid, looking for the one yellow box that means I have to overheat hardeners and broadcast for reps. While ignoring the other yellow boxes that are trying to troll me into flooding my logi's target list with random people. I have no way to tell if Ishtar137's lock on me will be followed by nothing, ewar, or the combined fire of a thousand sentries.

The effect of the late broadcasts only gets compounded with scan res damped logistics trying to keep up with a remote sensor boosted drone anchor chewing through targets.

Oddly enough, requiring the drone boat to lock the target for the assisted drones to fire fixes this issue. You know when you get primaried and can react. You have to sebo the whole fleet again if you want fast locks and have to deal with EWAR. It also fixes the "hiding in POS" problem in one fell swoop, because you can't lock people while inside a POS.
