Freyda Gallente Nova Defense Industries	Posted - 2006.10.03 16:06:00 - [1] Do you bother with medium drones? It seems to me light drones are superior to mediums at killing frigates. They get to them faster and seem to have an easier time taking them down. For everything larger, my heavy drones seem to be able to take down just fine. For long range I use sentries. Then drone travelling times are taken out of the equation. Seems like medium drones are pointless on a ship like the Domi. They're useful on the vexor and the thorax, but for the Domi I can't seem to find a use for them. Is there something I am missing, or is that pretty much the case for ships with enough drone bay for 5 x heavies?
Megri The Scope	Posted - 2006.10.03 16:10:00 - [2] i run 5x ogre II 5x verserker II 5x hammerhead II 5x vespa II 5x hobogoblin II or warrrior II IF I WIN ANYTHING FROM YOUR AUCTION PLEASE CONTACT ME INGAME BEFORE ESCROWING TO ME, AS I WOULD PREFER IT ESCROWED TO MY ALT.
Nagarutu Mishima The Movement	Posted - 2006.10.03 16:30:00 - [3] I got a use for mediums in my domi, their great while tanking sentrys, cause for example ogres are slow as hell, and you need to scoop em frequently to have em surviving, mediums is quick enough to engage, and when targeted scooped. And they still deal a fair dmg. This also depends on where im at, if im 0-1000m from my target i generally use heavys, but if im 10-15km from it, i have to have speedier drones.

Kaffeine Blunt Force Syndicate	Posted - 2006.10.03 17:29:00 - [6] I don't bother with medium drones on a domi. Heavies do fine against most cruisers, and anything smaller you'll want to use lights anyway.

Heavies do fine against most cruisers, and anything smaller you'll want to use lights anyway. Try using heavies for the whole lot - they are far more effective on ceptors than scooping to deploy lights/mediums or whatever. If the drones aren't hitting, flick them back and forth between targets (allowing them to fall naturally into their optimal at points between the two targets), or call them back to orbit, then re-engage. I'm at the point now, where I just set the heavies onto everything and they die. From frigs to BS..... You could do with good skills tho. ------------------ Dad (noun) - someone who's wallet now contains a picture where his money once was.
Freyda Gallente Nova Defense Industries	Posted - 2006.10.03 20:22:00 - [8] Edited by: Freyda on 03/10/2006 20:27:30 Yeah, I think I'll drop mediums from my domi setup. I haven't heard a single person in this thread mention sentry drones. You guys should try them out. They're awesome at long range. With a couple of drone link augmenters you can snipe at 80km+ with them. It's great. Edit: for spelling and grammer
Nyxus GALAXIAN Rule of Three	Posted - 2006.10.03 20:28:00 - [9] Sometimes I will go small, but most times I will run 2x webbing drones and 3 ogre IIs since the webbers slow them down enough for the Ogres to pwninate them. Nyxus Originally by: Tux The thought of a missile spewing armor tanking cool black looking ship makes me happy in the pants
Rannoc	Posted - 2006.10.03 20:31:00 - [10] Currently I only use Heavy and Sentry drones for everything. At range Wardens can pop Frigs in one valley and with an omni fitted, my Wasps can hit everything NoProb. For missions I know longer see a use for light or medium drones. --R
Christopher Dalran	Posted - 2006.10.03 20:46:00 - [11] That will depend heavily on your skills in the drones area, as you get skills to increase drone optimal range, speed, tracking, max firing range ect larger drones will gradually become better and better at killing smaller targets. Eventually you will get to the point where heavy drones do the most damage to everything except frigate class ships, at this point you can stop using medium drones. There is also a module that increases drone MWD speed, it realy helps your heavy drones close distances fast (its just flat out hillarious how fast it makes light scout drones move) so try using one of those. Be Warned however that unless you have high drone skills the speed increase makes the smaller drones miss alot untill they calm down and return to normal speed.
Thoris Levithar	Posted - 2006.10.03 21:09:00 - [12] I like mediums for killing frigs. I don't think lights do a better job there really - the only exception are interceptor class frigs of course (talking about PvE here). On all other frigs and especially destroyers mediums work very well. However, I tend to avoid using mobile drones if I can at all and use sentries...more fun to insta-pop frigs at range :)
samuel222 Amarr Pirates of Destruction Union	Posted - 2006.10.03 21:33:00 - [13] i run: 5 vespa II's 8 ogres 5 gardes very vesitile and sentry's just turn it into a stationary gunboat with built in nos ___________________________ Now thats a face for radio!
OldPueblo Gallente Defenders of Order New Eden Conglomerate	Posted - 2006.10.03 21:48:00 - [14] I actually prefer mediums. Heavy are too slow usually and I only pull them out to take a bs down. Lights take longer to take any lower then a bs down, and my mediums have had no problem catching any frigate I've ever had them go after. I say who uses lights? To catch an interceptor at full speed in PVP is the only use I can think of for them, and even then mediums ain't exactly slow.

To catch an interceptor at full speed in PVP is the only use I can think of for them, and even then mediums ain't exactly slow. Well I have drones V, drones interfacing IV, scout drone op V, drone specialisation IV, drone navigation IV, drone sharpshooting IV, drone durability IV and combat drone ops IV. My lights will kill a group of frigates a LOT faster than my mediums do, everytime. Especially interceptors. But even pve vs frigates that are spread out from each other. My lights tear through frigates in no time. My heavies also kill cruisers faster than my mediums in level 4 missions. Have you ever actually timed how long it takes for your mediums to kill your average group of 5 frigs in pve, and then compared it to lights. You maybe suprised. I know I was.

Is there something I am missing, or is that pretty much the case for ships with enough drone bay for 5 x heavies? For NPC hunting/missions, I run medium techII instead of lights. They take down the frigates just fine, and also the faster cruisers that heavies have a problem chasing. For PvP, I use lights, as the mediums just cant keep up with interceptors or very fast cruiser setups unless they get within web range. This signature space for rent

Nyxus That only works if you happen to catch them unawares at close range. Webber drones are slow, and easily outrun and outmaneuvered by ceptors or even destroyers. At least until we get small or medium webber drones. This signature space for rent
