Hammer Judge Southern Cross Incorporated Angels Of Discord	Posted - 2007.07.15 08:01:00 - [1] Edited by: Hammer Judge on 15/07/2007 08:08:51 Hi, I understand the 'drone link augmentor' effects the closest range at which you can send our your drones to attack. does it effect Sentry drones in any way? I also understand the omnidirectional tracking link lets me use Sentry drones to hit farther targets. Catch is, I need to fit a Sensor Booster to even target the NPC if it's beyond my Dominix's targetting range, right? (also - if anyone has seen a detailed mathematical guide on drones, I'd be interested in a link.) - Visit my newbie guide for experienced MMO gamers.

You have a dictor on the gate yes? and lots of EW? If not how will you stop them warping off ... and how will you stop them popping your sentries?

VaderDSL Caldari Incoherent Inc Otaku Invasion	Posted - 2007.07.15 09:44:00 - [5] I think you were correct in your first assumptions, I think the omni link afects drone max range and tracking? so it would make sense that it affects sentries. The augmentor, I think simply extends the maximum range of your sentry drones (how far they can fire) iirc

This is the range upto which you can control your drones. Everyone starts with 20km drone control range. By training the scout drone skill to level 5 you get an additional 25 km. If you feel the need you can train electronic warfare drone skill for an additional 3 km per level, so perfect drone skills (lvl 5) gives a total of 60 km drone control range. Certain ships give another drone control range ship bonus, but the easiest way to get extra control range is the drone link augmentor for 20 km per module. In my guide I have a lot more on the control of drones, I suggest you read up on it, linked in my sig. With really good/perfect skills and a dominix you can snipe with it, but most people would rather just use railguns instead of a weird setup like: 6x drone link augmentor 4x omnidirectional drone mod, 1x sensor booster 2 whatever in lows, seriously, I think you can get some targetting range low mods 3x sentry drone rig You should be able to get 180 km drone control, same as your targetting range if there are lows that improve your targetting and tech II sentry optimal range. Still pretty pathetic for a sniper, but I suppose it's a cheap solution.. It might get you about 250 dps or thereabouts, haven't done the calculations.. All the stuff above does not necessarily reflect my corp, my alliance or even me.. Drone guide..
Wufong Wei Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2007.07.15 10:08:00 - [7] From what I understand, you can't tell a sentry drone to shoot something that is outside of drone control range of your ship. So to get that really high range, you need Drone Sharpshooting (+5% optimal range per level), Scout Drone Operation (5000 m more control range per level), Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing (3000 m more control range per level), and Drone Link Augmentors (20000 m more control range per module), plus enough Omnidirectional Tracking Links to make the ranges balance out. With Wardens, which have a 50 km base optimal, you can pump them out to...hmmm...I suck with the math...50x1.25x1.2=75 km with one Omnidirectional Link and Drone Sharpshooting V. I'm not sure if they are stacking-nerfed or not, if they aren't then 2 will give you 90 km and a third will give you 130ish km. You'd need Scout Drone Operation V, Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing V and 4 Drone Link Augmentors to shoot something at 130 km though. This is assuming your ship is parked next to your drones, of course. You can park your shp halfway between your drones and the target and use half the control range.
Lore Isander Caldari Paisti	Posted - 2007.07.15 10:18:00 - [8] Edited by: Lore Isander on 15/07/2007 10:18:39 5x Drone Link Augmentor (+100km Control Range, totaling from 145km to 160km) 3x Omnidirectional Tracking Link (More Range and Tracking) 2x Sensor Booster II 3x Sentry Drone Damage Augmentor (More Damage) 5x Warden II (117km Optimal, 30km Falloff, 398 DPS) The DPS is actually not that bad at all for a long range ship. --- How do I shot web?

band0fdevs Gallente Band of Dev's	Posted - 2007.07.15 14:09:00 - [11] seen a gate camp ( with dictor bubbles and 3 tacklers in close) so 5 uber logn range domis with drone setups 3 tacklers ( ishtars) with 15 light ECM drones floating around and a dictor pilot location where this took place will remain secret ( 0.0 highway) sat cloaked for an hour watching em - was trying to get past. in that time they smoked on my count 38 ships ranging from shuttles up to battleships - mostly in ones and twos wasnt until a 15 man assorted gang closed in on em ( assuming their alt scouts spotted em coming) that they packed up and warped to a SS and cloaked. 3 guesses who was invovled inthe camp but a extreme use of the above tactics listed to have some affect
