Just wanted to add, Gila - 2 Drones? WTF is this s$@t? Stop with the bandwidth reductions. All the target has to do is pop 2 drones then wait the forever for the next 2 to get there. There there is the whole theoretical vs actual dps. I would far rather have the chance of 5 drones hitting than 2. And you know, its so easy to manage drones during combat with the crap interface we have. Adjust damage bonus and bandwidth to reflect a full flight of 5 medium drones.

TBH I find that REALLY hard to believe given the current PVE AI system. Even with the proposed Medium Drone rework, this change puts the Gila solidly in the "meh" category with little hope of additional uses. There are 2 drones used for PVE, Sentries and Lights, all the others are simply too slow and die before they can be pulled back into the drone bay. Nothing proposed appears to change that.

Le SighIt's still hard for me to believe that after more than a year people don't know how to drone in PVE. And the new Gila will have "super drones" with more EHP (because of the gila changes) and more speed (because of the drone changes).
Actually, I am very familiar with the mechanics of this both before and after the last significant AI change so drop the attitude and simpleton comment. Super drones? Lol. Even after these changes, if anything other than Sentries and Lights are viable in ANY shape or form in PVE I will be quite amazed. Would it be nice to have options? Absolutely. Will anything I see proposed result in that being a reality? Based on what has been presented, I don't think so.
This move to 2 drones versus 5 is simply bad for a variety of reasons already discussed. And what about the Gila for PVP? This ensures it has no place there either. Give me a Gila with 5x Heavies and some sort of a damage/speed bonus and now we are on to something.

You mean like the Ogre IIs i already use in pve? with my Gila and Domi?
Prepare to be amazed then lol. How can so many pve jocks be so clueless about pve? Isn't that what a PVE player is supposed to know about?
Then you, my ignorant (or possibly just trolling/dumb) friend, are probably the slowest PVE'er in the game. Targets at zero, yep, Ogre's tear them up. Everything else, which is most of PVE targets? Yeah, Ogre's are not going to make it.
Fighting at zero = most of w-space PVP. Certainly I'll take some bonuses to heavies thanks. Who said the Gila had to solely be a PVE ship?
