The status quo is using Minnie (EXP) drones, I know. But in a lot of setups, I see people tank specifically for Explosive damage. Plus, ships that shield-tanked are already naturally tanked to decent level against EXP damage.
In looking at many, many ships stats, most are naturally weaker against Therm damage (number 2 weakness on all ships, shielded and armored AFAIK) and I don't see a lot of T1 ship setups with a specific tank against Therm. Is there a reason to not just use Therm drones instead of EXP drones? What am I missing?

The status quo is to use the explosive drone line? Since when? Everybody here is all about Hobgoblin ---> Hammerhead ---> Ogre because thermal drones do the most raw damage of the four types.

minmatar drones are the fastest. light can catch 99% of ceptors and mediums with some drone navigation skills can catch a decent percentage too unless they're running and not orbitting.

Im going to use minnie for PvP. Just finished interrfacing 5 and I have to make a decision on whether to do minnie spec 4. Not sure if I should bandwagon and use thermal like everyone else, or go for exp.
Most people tank for exp/kin, so idk. Maybe therm is the best afterall. Then again, alot of people just stick with a t2 EANM, which means that you're better off with EXP, b/c of therm's high natural resists on all ships. ---------------------------------------- Friends Forever

If you are referring to missions rather than PvP, then I concur with GC13. Thermal (Gallente) drones have been extremely useful for most of the missions that this character runs (vs. Serps/Angels). In fact, you may not be able to break the NPC-tank if you were to use any other type of drones in the final stage of Vengeance. Nowadays, I basically carry mostly thermal drones with one or two other types just in case.

PvP only.
I see lots and lots of setups with EXP drones.
I'm just glad that I'm not the only one that thinks Thermal drones are better for damage.
