After this patch that won't be possible. Another reason this is a nerf. I said carrier not super carrier. Sentry II's and heavy drone II's are just as good if not better then fighters.
For those of you who are not drone land people:
Hitting all bunkers at once does one nice thing for you. It gets all the spawns, so with that carrier you can fit to tank the entire site. This could be said that it speeds up the site as you don't have to wait for the triggered rats to get into range and you don't have to spend the extra 30 second for the new wave to aggro the carrier so your drones don't pop. These couple of minutes you save isn't worth that much. Saving 3 minutes a site at best at 75 million per hour is like maybe four million extra per site.
Now that four million per site is quickly negated when we have to loot / salvage everything or we make no money. A level five ore industrial level 5 salvager can just barely keep up with a pair of carriers in one of these sites. Letting the two carriers kill everything by themselves letting drones auto aggro lets you micromanage the Noctis as its a full time job. You try and do it any differently and it will cut into your productivity big time.
Also, I'm lucky enough to live in a station system so i can just dock and dump the loot quickly, Our upper end sites, the Horde, drops approx 2900 to 3100 m3 of loot per site. you quickly fill up and if you live five or six jumps from a station system you now have to make a 10 - 12 jump round trip journey to dump at most 29k m3 of loot with a t2 rigged iteron 5 per trip. That time adds up extremely fast as lost profits.
Finally, a drone Horde is worth about 23 - 25 million each, I know the angel and gurista sanctums are better then that. especially with the 10 million isk faction bs that pops out every so often. our faction bs are actually worth less then a regular as they do not have bounties, and they drop ****** drone parts instead of drone compounds unless they drop a bpc which is like every 1 out of 50 or so if you are lucky. |
