In a solo PVP situation, we all know that Gallente's third leg in battle are drones. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a drone type that is great at killing drones from the other player and is decent at killing pilots without drone?

If I plan on taking out another pilot's drones, I usually prefer Warriors due to their speed. If the person recalls their drones, the Warriors are usually fast enough to keep up and continue to damage them all the way up until the other pilot scoops his drones.

Warrior II's or hobgoblin II's.

I tried killing a Myrmidon's Ogre II with my 5 x Hobgoblin II, the fight lasted for 2-3 minutes, after which I was dead and the Ogre was in 20% armor.

I also tried that once, but it was vs a Ishtar. 3 minutes later when damage started leaking into his structure I put the drones back on him since the first Ogre II was still at 25% armor. Lesson learned, don't bother trying drones from a ship that gives them a HP bonus, with your own drones. Just kill the ship, or you'll die before you get the drones anyway.

I prefer when fighting gallente ships to focus fire my main guns on their drones to quickly get rid of them.
Mega with berserker t2s are de rigour so getting rid of the 3rd damage type berserkers bring is handy as hell.

The key thing that no one has mentioned yet, and what everyone always seems to ignore is sig radius. Medium drones have a good enough sig rez to kill heavies, and lights for mediums. Using lights on heavies won't get your DPS high enough to kill them in time.
Furthermore, warrior2s suffer from a 60% resist on drone shields, while drones have only a 20% resist to thermal damage. Drone shields have 0% to EM of course, but generally EM damage isn't very useful for general purpose stuff.
So for killing drones specifically, I'd use therm drones (hammerheads, hobgoblins, T2 of course) and use one size smaller for optimal damage vs. tracking and sig res.
If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. |

I perfer the "big toys for big problems" solution:
vs Heavy-Drones -> Heavy-Drones and webber/painter
vs medium-Drones -> medium-drones and webber/painter
vs small-drones -> small-drones and webber/painter
U can easiely manage to put that setup on a regualar dominix-pvp-setup....
....u know.....nos/neuts/MWD/capboster/tank/drones and all that stuff......
After 3 years in EvE, I finaly can say, that I lost more ships due to lag and bugs, than in any battle.
