the heavier stuff you wanna blow up (i.e t2 ogres) the more effort you gotta put into it, and thats how it goes with everything (well maybe not with ecm lottery, but most of the stuff)

Funny all these drone defenders crawl out of the woodwork. Hes not even calling for a nerf of drones, yet people keep saying this.
Pathetic.
Anyone care to counter the fact that smartbombs are useless on battleships as anti-drone now?
Personally I dont use them because I never had cause to train shot bursts or whatever that skill is called that helps lasers and hybrids...

Where do you see a call for a drone nerf?
He is asking for a SB buff which is different even if it does hurt drones more.
A quick back of the napkin calculation (so take with a grain of salt) tells me that if everyone is using T-II stuff (drones, SB) and the Dom is trained to BS-5 it would take 5 shots of a thermal SB to waste a Heavy Ogre-II. If you have 1 SB on that is 50 seconds (I didn't lookup what the skill is that reduces cycle time to account for that so that is a raw number). In the meantime five drones will dish out about 8500 in damage (not counting resists and all that) in the same time. Battleship burns 1000 cap to pull this off.
But here is the thing. In the old days the Dom would unload 15 drones and a BS would pop them in 2-3 SB blasts. All drones gone in one go. Now the Dom flings 5 out, gets them wasted and flings 5 more out, gets them wasted and flings five more out. So with our very loose numbers above a single SB in the throwaway slot would take 3 1/3 minutes to drop the drones. Presumably he is trying to run the tank and shoot the drone carrier as well. I know fights are supposed to take longer but that is a long time.
And Dom pilots here keep talking like all a Dom is is a drone ship...carrier light if you will. A Dom is by no means toothless without its drones. Yes, they are a big part of a Dom's offense but it is not like you are helpless without your drones.
If I read the OP right he just wants an increase in SB effectiveness. Not a one shot deal but something like a 3 shot deal rather than 5 (remember that is with an SB-II...a SB-I would take 5 to achieve the same thing). As mentioned the Dom pilot is still better off today than they were in the past as you can send waves of drones rather than seeing them all die at once and each wave is as powerful as all 15 were back in the day. And many pilots won't have SB-II on either due to price or can't use them.
Seems an SB buff would hardly be the end of the Dom and just bring a bit more balance back.
