You should consider dropping the tracking bonus from the Dominix and then bringing the optimal bonus back up to 10% per level.

CCP Fozzie, are there considerations on implementing rogue drone faction mods as well as federation navy and imperial navy drone mods?
Rogue drone mods for drone complexes and sites.

Your garde IIs will be murder machines even more so than before.
You lose about 3km optimal, but will still be able to hit to 60km easily.
Then switch to a tracking script and obliterate close things also.
Edit that's with one omni

Use to do good damage at 55k with garde's
Now you have to be within 30k and the tracking still isn't as good, anything farther out is heavy misses. I haven't done extensive testing on tracking on closer targets.
That is totally unacceptable.
So you are mad that you cant do 664 DPS(2 DDAs) @ 45km +12km falloff in a cruiser any more? Name any other cruiser that can do that kind of DPS at that range.

Real question here. If it's performance wise at the same point as everything else, why use drones as a primary weapon considering their drawbacks?
Trade off for being destroy-able is, the grades will still hit harder at 34km +15km falloff than any other weapon a cruiser can use.

Hopefully all drones get a decent balance pass soon, get there HP into balanced in all areas rather than the bulk being in hull, fix heavy drones.

TL;DR: Without feedback and information of the current state of the active (aka launched) drones, it is useless giving us more choices - as you cannot see what choice would be the most benefical at any given moment. If it is impossible to give us this information, bring the tracking links back to their former passive state.
You are absolutely correct that we can't give proper feedback on this nerf because of the lack of information provided ingame. And that is precisely why fozzie will do nothing about providing us the information to give proper feedback. Mustn't let facts get in the way of ideology.
If you undock, activate your modules, the expand you group of drones while they are still in the drone bay you can show info on them and it will display the active effects on them.

It's only one of a handful of ships that will be affected. Rattlesnake is actually indicative of the capabilities of most sentry platforms, if it isn't OP, it's pretty hard to argue drones are OP. And the armageddon, gilla, nestor, stratios, drone proteus, myrm, eos and anything else with a drone damage bonus and no sentry application bonus I may be forgetting could equally be substituted in the sentence.
Sounds like the issue is more, heavy drones are crap so the only large drone is sentries.
The OP part is was having a passive module that gives a 25% bonus to optimal and tracking at the same time.

Tyberius Franklin wrote:Heavy drones are crap, but that mainly has to do with the limitations and mechanics of non-sentry drones. Heavies, no matter how well balanced, aren't practical long range weapons and as such, can't supplement sentries the way you seem to insinuate they should. Not saying that heavies should replace sentries as long range weapons, but then again 20k is not long range for a battleship weapon, but it is long enough to not want to use heavy drones for.
