Idea is to stay at range and use drones for the damage. My gunnery sucks. Heard tell base drone range is 20k. +25k for scout drone skill. The 3 drone links bring my range to about 105k. Nav Comps make the travel time of drones pretty quick. Don't know what to put in the highs for the moment. Have 3 SB atm for s&g.
High
3 Drone Links
3 Open Slots
Mid
1 AB
2 Drone Nav Comps
1 Drone Omni Track
1 Sensor Boost
Low
1 Dam Ctrl
2 EANM t2
2 Plate t2
1 LAR
1 Hardener t2, EM
When gunnery skills improve and I get adv weap upg 4, I plan to drop 1 drone link and both plates to add 4 425 rails and 2 mfs2. This would lower range to about 85k(out of range of annoying EW, nos and drones), while increasing dps.
Plan on mostly using for ratting, cause I don't think this is a very effective pvp ship.

Drones at 100k take forever to get back to you, and tend to die or get left behind in an emergency.

I hope your drone skills are very good. Also make sure you kepp eye n what you are doing with the drones if you are in a mission.

I don't know if you've tried this yet but one of the main drawbacks to using such a setup is you usually need to have some way to aggro the rats at long range before you pop out your drones. Just popping them out and sending them over tends to get them shot at and blown up.
You can put nosferatu's in those highs for a little extra regen as well of course. You won't always get to use them when fighting at range but it's sometimes useful.
The other option you have if your drone skills are high enough is sentry drones.

nav comps also increase drone orbit speed for some reason.
im not sure, but with 2 nav comps you might need more o.d. links.

Drop the nav comps for tracking links and use sentry drones. With 3 drone tracking comps and drone sharpshooting 4 Wardens have 103km optimal and no travel time.

Not having too much problems w/ drone travel speed cause of the 2 nav comps. Drones usually return to bay in time if i tell them to return right before i engage in warp(if i am not aligned).
Been using a hob or 1 425 rail to get aggro. Don't do poo for damage yet so not really worth putting more on.
I could use sentry drones but i like to keep mobile since i run missions in low sec.
Drone interface to 5 completes tonight and the rest of skills are pretty good.
I have fun using ship and am going to try different fits for pvp while keeping to same basic premise.

You could use sentry drones at those ranges to draw agro.

The original idea was to try something new.
PVP
Everyone seems to be doing nos these days and most need the nos to keep running tank. Keeping at a further range means no EW and drones also.

QFT. I would not recommend trying to make combat drones do something they were not designed for. Drones are good at short to medium range. You will loose your drones very quickly with that setup.
