Originally by: Slickster Why not leave the game design to ccp its there brain child ?
Because we, the players, twist the game design to find overpowered applications of CCP's designs. Then CCP makes a change (nerf) to bring the game design back into the way it was conceived to work.
Initially, I thought that this would be another silly "nerf" thread, but this one actually makes quite a bit of sense. Why should any BS get a bonus to small guns, which is effectively what light/medium drones are on a Dominix?
I'm in favour of this change!
My thoughts exactly.
It makes a lot of sense.

Considering that shouldnt dominix drone bonuses only apply to heavy and sentry drones?
RAVEN Special Ability: 5% bonus to Cruise and Siege Launcher Rate Of Fire and 10% bonus to Cruise Missile and Torpedo Velocity per level.
so... shut up

I dont see how this will make much differnce, heavies are fine at hitting anything but frigs and lights dont need the dmg bonus to hurt frigs bad .

Originally by: Rorho Dimaxi Domi drone damage/hp bonus = ABSTRACTION for Domi +1 drone controlled bonus!!
Did Domi have "+1 heavy drone controlled" bonus? no, that would make NO sense at all, why would it be able to control more larger drones but not smaller ones? It had +1 ANY drone controlled and that makes perfect sense. This perfect sense automatically applies to the current abstraction, "let's replace numbers with damage which is equal" absurd.
it was changed to damage for rmr, beacuse of the lag drones caused,

no clue here still.
As first poster said before it was +1 drone wich mean +1 small or med or heavy drone. Now its +20% dmg wich is the same. So why did nobody find the domi overpowered before? And why nerf the domi when a raven can tank and kill it... OR a gankatron or a gankapoc or a gankageddon or...

Its pointless, really.
Frigate attacks domi = nossed to hell, webbed and scrammed, T2 light drones out, dead.
This will simply take a few seconds longer without the damage bonus being applied to light drones. For anyone with decent drone skills it will hardly make any difference.
The Domi eats AF swarms for breakfast and long will it continue to do so.

Wasn't that damage boost put in place because they also halved the number of drones we can have in space ?
Before all those changes, a Domi could field 15 drones ... now it's limited to 5 drones, like every other ship (dronebay permitting) ...
If the Domi wasn't overpowered before, I fail to see how it could be now.
I see more "Raven is too nber, nerf Raven" threads than "Domi is teh pwnmobile, nerf Domi" threads ... if that could be an indication of balance, of course, since most people think in terms of personnal gain, and not in terms of 25.000 players in the same game (me too, btw, I'm not a game developer).

With the bonus of drone interfacing skill domi's 5 drones get the damage of 15 drones.
Before the recent drone changes domi didnt have t2 drones, skills like 'drone specialisation','combat drone operation', 'drone durability' etc.
With these changes + domi bonus does make it quite overpowered vs smaller target.

Utter crap. The thing that makes the domi strong against small targets is NOS. and ECM. IT has NOTHING AT ALL to do with it getting a damage bonus to other drone sizes. ....

Every battleship can nos frig. But domi can deal damage to them efficiently too.
SO you think domi shouldnt have its bonus changed?

I may be stupid, but on my Raven I use Light Drones to kill the frigates in my missions ... just like a Dominix ... I would say that every battleship can NOS and damage frigs ...
Yes, the Domi will kill those a bit quicker, so what ? It's a droneship after all is said and done ...

Drones is a very unreliable and inconvinient primary weapon. You can easily lose them to a number of reasons. No, it isn't drones that's the problem, it's the combination of ECM and nos as this can disable everything on the target ship, from reps to guns. Before the EW changes the domi wasn't as lethal (it was actually a surefire way to get a fight because no one took the domi for anything) a weapon, but now that 1 mod can jam a ship, it's deadly.
In short, it's not the drones, it's nos and mainly ECM.

No, only the drone interface skill got changed, from +1 drone, to +20% drone damage

That would certainly make is less useful, bordering useless.
Losing a mid slot would have to mean an increase in low or hi slots. An increase in hi slot would take it a bit further from the drone ship (if it was a weapon mount) and a low slot... well, 1 low for 1 med is a VERY bad tradeoff.

No, it does not.
Like someone said it's ECM that makes the domi strong. With the upcoming ECM nerf that will soon be over.

Originally by: Laythun
quite right so Dimaxi's arguement oesnt apply.
It was changed because of the lag, not because +1 drone was overpowered. So it does apply.
P.S. I will repeat again - the only thing that makes drones overpowered comparing to pre-RMR situation is that drones received bonus to HP to compensate for the fact that it is easier to kill 5 drones than 10. Pre-RMR, all 10 drones could be killed with a couple of Smartbomb pulses, now they can't.
As the solution to this imbalance, I suggest to replace all drone HP bonuses with drone signature radius reduction bonus. So drones will be harder to lock and kill with the guns, however smartbomb will do a quick job of them, which is exactly like it was pre-RMR.
