If you're looking for some unique flavor...
The Gila needs at least a 50% bonus to Medium EWar and Combat Utility drone effects. Actually, with the Guristas, a 500% bonus to ECM drone effects wouldn't be out of character, but I suspect that would be way too much for some people. A wing of Vespa EC-600s with a 500% bonus would be like getting hit by two multispectrum jammers on a Blackbird with a Max Skilled pilot.

Please explain to me why a ship whose role includes drone damage requires a bonus to ewar drones. You have ten seconds.
Because it would be a unique modifier and it would only apply to medium ewar drones like the rest of the cruiser's drone bonuses. Are there any other ships in the game that give a bonus to ewar and combat utility drones? Besides ECM drones, do the ewar and combat utility drones ever get used? I think the TP drones get used sometimes. Stacking effects really make the other drones worthless. And here, you have a ship that could actually use those type of drones effectively without the usual stack penalties. |

Would still make a rather useless bonus IMHO. You have better dedicated ewar platforms for the actual ewar work and actually using the gila for that purpose defangs the ship in terms of damage output. Doesn't seem like a decent trade that would justify people flying it that way.
With the bandwidth and the drone bay reductions, the Gila loses it's ability to carry a flight of ECM drones, which is a pretty standard thing for drone ships to carry. That said, maybe that's alright. I was thinking that if anyone should have amped up combat utility and ewar drones, it should be the Guristas.
With the release of the pirate novice ships a while ago, CCP hinted at pirates being a playable faction. Maybe some future Gurista's ewar ship should have that sort of bonus. There aren't any ships that offer a bonus for those types of drones, so it would be nice if something did. |

Hey,
Can you do the same thing for the new Augmented Valkyrie? |

Thanks!
So, it looks like the Augmented Hammerhead launched from the Gila will have about 30K EHP, give or take. The Valkyrie about 18K EHP with a 5.3Km/s MWD speed.
I'm having trouble reading the damage output though. Is it showing 950 dps from the Augmented Hammerheads or is that the damage with both the drones and the missiles overheated?
