Hi CCP and all others,
let's face it, drones are currently the OP platform. With modules now available to raise drone damage and ships which put out crazy drone damages even with Warrior II drones, mitigation of drone damage is almost impossible since your frigate is usually melted by drones before you even managed to lock them up and shoot one of them.
So what we really need is a module which provides some kind of defense against drones. Smart Bombs (except for the large ones) are just doing too less damage to them and have too short range and completely suffer from the fact that is is absolutely risky to use them in high-sec. Therefore here is my proposal:
The Anti-Drone Electro Magnetic Pulse Module: - It should take a high slot (but doesn't need to be a missile or gun slot) - Once activated it takes 5 cap per every 5 secs. - As long it is activated it will attack the nearest drone which is targeting you within a range of 5km. - Every attack as the chance of 50% to cause the attached drone to suffer from an electric shock which makes it computer system need to restart. This basically means, the drone stops and is deactivated for 10 seconds until reset-procedure is finished. - Let the module use 20 CPU and 5 Grid.
Numbers etc. are naturally subject to change, but I think such a module would bring back the balance to PVP against drones. Furthermore this would be another useful option for ships with an auxiliary high slot. |

Missiles would be restricted to missile boats which I wanted to avoid. We have a lot of ships with a "spare" high slot for which I just wanted to give another use while solving the "drone problem" at the same time :-) |

How about adapting your tactics against drone boats? I could be convinced that repurposing defender missiles may work, at least then you would have to pick between ganking my hull or my drones, eve should be a game of choices, with no best option, just lots of options
1. Please show me how smart bombs work well against drones on frigates or cruisers. And then please do this in low-sec or high-sec in a faction warfare environment.
2. Currently the generic best choice in eve for faction warfare PVP is a drone platform... high-dps output, flexible damage, hard to counter with electronic warfare and you can choose of using high-slots for even more damage or neutralizers. This mainly happened with the introduction of drone damage amplifier modules... now I just request a proper counter module. |

Still waiting for someone showing me how a Smartbomb on a frigate works against drones... |
