CrimsonSky Amarr Imperial Dreams Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.01.19 20:46:00 - [1] Originally by: Maeltstome With 5 mediums drones, drone int etc.etc. - you can pull off 100 dps easily with Tech I drones against 50% resistances... i know this because ive used them. Factor in the bonus from something like the dominix, then drone durability, then the fact you already have plenty of turret hardpoints. From a non gallente point of view, id say stop whining. From a 'minmatar flying gallente ships' point of view, id say shut up - cause drones are fine, they just need a bit of extra attention and the rewards will speak for themselfs. Drone 'randomly' attacking things is actually the ai going 'well, hes agressed to my master, and my master has him locked.... so i recon maybe he wants to kill my master, and my master wants him dead' - if you dont like them agressing of there own free will, assign drone only targets and shoot other targets by yourself. Just pay attention and dont expect CCP to invent more and more brilliant ways from drones to get even more ridiculous. With 5 autocannons, med projectile etc.etc. - you can pull off 2000 dps easily with Tech I autocannons against 50% resistances... I know this because I've used them. See, I can make up random nonsense 'facts' too. Doesn't make them right. With max skills in a non-Drone boat, 5x Hammerhead II get around 150 DPS. On 0% resist structure. On 50% resist they'd be getting about 75 DPS. So I'd love for you to explain to me how your T1 drones are getting 33% more DPS on 50% resists than my T2 drones are. And for the drones randomly aggressing... you do realize that they attack targets who aren't locked, yes? And that these people are complaining not about drones with no orders attacking something, but rather drones with targets attacking other things, yes? As for myself... I've not had many of the problems these people are talking about, and I use drones regularly. However, I don't use Heavy Drones, which seem to be the ones most likely to experience these bugs. The one I have encountered is the 'drones stopping 500 meters outside scoop range' bug, and that is extremely, extremely annoying.
