It used to be no big deal, i'm not really sure how i did but i got rid of those like it was nothing. However now it's a problem. Today i cleared everything but those little 2 elite frigates under my gun range in a L4. Can't hit them, get the drones out right? So i get out 5 t2 amarr drones and they barely scratch one's shields before they start dropping.
What am i missing here? I just want to finish this mission... |

If you have a turret ship, shooting elites before they get close works (they die easily on approach).
also amarr sentry drones are fine. For all other tasks where one might use amarr drones, use gallente as amarr mobile drones are not fine.
Right now if you are stuck in mission, all you can do is move towards the point (away) where they might leash, or warp out if they let you to warp back in well away from them so you can blap them with guns.

They're inside range at warp in, and the apoc is not exactly fast. I read another post saying to never use amarr drones, i knew they were not flavor of the month but i thought they were still viable...
Thanks, i'll get hobgoblins or something, see how that works... |

Amarr drones suck
Fit webs to help your drones
Fit a MJD to pull range and blap |

For caldari ships, using precision cruise and a TP, i have no issue with eliminating the occasional scram/web frigate. |

op is using turrets so that doesnt help.
MJD would probably be the best solution, or web tp and t2 hobs or warriors depending what enemy.
but that said i think those solutions where already told before :P |

using amarr combat drones is always doing it wrong
Hard to tell what else is going on without knowing the ship you're using.

Even using amarr drones you should be able to get rid of couple elite frigs, so something else is problem. |

Agree with this.
Try Hobgoblin IIs, I find that they are pretty effective.
Also, you can equip a remote repper and target/rep your drone. Usually, only one drone is attacked at a time (my observation/experience only).
If your drone skills are decent, the drone keeps aggro and stays alive as you rep...

Decent drone skills and T2 hobs will do the trick, warriors will also work. Those are generally all i carry.

Hmmm elite frigs are no problem for me, if some do happen to get close I only need to put one Warrior 2 on them while my 4 sentries kill other ships.
What I also do is put one sentry drone for each frigate as all 5 is overkill. You could do the same and split your guns.
If they are at warp in MJD away is the first thing you do and hit them at range.
Also you could use that new Mobile Micro Jump Drive deployable structure. |

I have drone attack on f and recall on shift+f. so launch drones press f, when you see them get shot recall them then launch them back out and f again. you might have to call them back a few times but if the elite frigs are in orbit range your drones should be very safe as long as you pay attention.

If you got high slot for remote rep, then you have high slot for missile launcher. So instead of having limited utility remore rep, fit highly useful missile launcher and use it to kill anything withing 40km.
So you got light scouts and light missiles killing frigs, elite and regular.

yeah ive seen this problem alot in missions with elite frigs and some with out, deploy drones and they get instalocked and shot. ive had to adjust my ships to no longer use drones and all of my drone ships i used to love in missions now collect dust with my mining and industrial ships. |

Five hobgoblin IIs should kill an elite frigate or two well before any of said drones die. There's a reason that every BS has a drone bay. |
