How much collateral damage has been caused to all other drone and sentry ships trying to fix this issue when simply removing the overpowered bonuses from the ship would have removed the sentry Ishtar in the first place?
+1
So the bring the ishtar inline you have already nerfed the rattlesnake TWICE for exmaple and that ship is not in your list as being oppressive? (Nerfed sentries, Nerfed DDAs)
IMHO balacing a ship by nerfing it's weapon system is not good
the same happened to condor it got indirectly ROFL stomped because the crow was considered OP, and now it does like 40dps and cant break passive tanked frigates. I heard the drake killed heavy missiles somehow too, but I dont think i was playing then to see the tears / details 
Also If you are going to further nerf the "drone damage amplifier 1" can we get a meta module that does say 18% damage like a meta 4 heat sink/gyrostab/magstab.
I like that you doing something about the ishtar though and balancing must be hard but i think DDAs are balanced at the moment. |

The solution I have in mind is a bit radical. Remove drone bonuses from hulls and delete drone buffing modules. Rebalance current drone bonused hulls to compensate. Drones change from a primary weapon system to supplementary assistance providing additional DPS or EWAR.
I think another guy made the point earlier but something that gets lost in the numbers and stats is that of ease of use...
pretty much every pilot can use drones because 2 out of four races use them as primary dps on some of their hulls, and nearly ever hull in the game bigger than a frigate has a drone bay, end result nearly every pilot can use drone ships well.
That has to skew the stats? if nearly everyone in your corp can use drone ships they are an easy doctrine to use.
I often hear people say i can't use t2 medium lasers any other hardpoint based weapon, but never hear them say can't use warriors etc if anything they may not be able to use t2 sentries or Heavies...
