This was brought up in another thread and I thought I would post it here in the off chance it might get fixed.

Hobgoblin___1.6x_____1.815____2.8 km/s
Hornet ______1.45x____2.1______3.2 km/s
Acolyte______1.15x___2.47_____3.8 km/s
Warrior______1.3x_____2.7______4.2 km/s
Notice a trend? Increasing speed.... increasing tracking speed.... decreasing damage modifier? wait no, the damage mods on the warrior and the acolyte appear swapped.
The same trend with the "swapped" damage mods is present in the medium drones, and the large drones, they all use the same damage multipliers.
This has been noted for some time...
It makes "amarr" drones suck, and "Minmatar" drones pretty darn good.
It seems its been tolerated since the drones aren't race specific, and it doesn't create much in the way of balance issues.
But since we've got a rebalance coming up, I think we should make some noise about this now, so they can fix this obvious oversight when they release the expansion.
Seems like it would be pretty trivial to fix this issue and make Amarr drones actually worthwhile. |

This seems such an easy fix. Any chance that it will CCP? |

How about a little love for Amarr drones, CCP? |

Reasons being:
Warrior II's don't need nerfing, it's the kinetic and em drones that need buffing.
Kinetic drones currently have the intended dps but are underused. As long as em and kinetic drones do inferior dps, they will be underused. I like it.
Yes, that is a good idea. |

This seems a simple fix, any chance of it ever happening? |

Come on CCP! My Amarr drones are feeling unloved and are likely to go on a suicide run into the nearest Serpentis fleet if you don't give them reason to be used more.

My Hobgoblins and Warriors are picking on my Acolytes now. They are sobbing quietly in the corner as we speak. The Hornets are staying out of it as they know it could be their turn next.
This is your fault CCP. They need some loving. |

Yes, I like this idea.
Either fix the damage mods on Amarr drones or implement this idea.
I'd be happy with either. |

Me, I say make the worst attributes tie for all drones.
This is true. However, you would then have the issue of tanking a drone that does EM damage as opposed to Explosive that's almost as fast as a Warrior II but does more damage.
Making drones suck even more wouldn't be that great for Gallente pilots that use drone boats.
The problem is that the Warrior II's are doing more damage than they are supposed to due to a mix up with the damage multipliers.
Fix that and Amarr drones will become useful again. |
