the drones should have a secondary damage effect to bring out a diversity, caldari drones do their primary damage, but have the secondary effect of a possible disruption of weapon systems, (ie, they will have a percentage chance to disrupt the next volley of fire so as to cause a miss on the target. ) Amarr with do primary damage, but also a secondary effect of a small percentage of capacitor nullified) no where near the level of the dedicated ecm type, but enough to be a factor in a battle. but with a stacking penalty so if your targeted by 100 caldari drones, you wont miss more than the effect of 5 of them. this will add color and verity to drone warfare and add a new variable to drone fights. similar effects can be available to the other 2 types to round out the playing field.

We understand the frustrations expressed by some about how these changes do not address the Drone UI, AI and/or Ewar Drones. These are important issues, but they require a different set of resources to solve and we are not going to hold back meaningful positive changes to wait until we can fix everything at once.
