How about a dedicated Drone Damage Mod?
"Advanced Drone Controller II":
+7,5% Damage Modifier
-5% Cycle Time
CPU req.: 30
PG req.: 5
On Paper, Drone Ships like the Dominix put out a Lot of DPS, but since Heavies are dead slow and Sentries are stationary, it's way less arriving DPS.
Also:
The medium and Heavy Drones need more Basespeed. 25% for Medium and 50% for Heavies would be nice. |

Droneboats, drones and modules, a closer look.
Since drone damage modules of some sort were announced by CCP at Fanfest, we can expect ships, using drones as their primary weaponsysten, for the first time.
Let me list the most used boats, from cruisers to battleships, which have a bonus for drone damge and hitpoints:
( I also include suggestions on fixing bonuses of those ships)
a) Gallente / Faction:
Vexor -> remove Hybrid bonus, add drone speed and optimal
Vexor navy Issue -> remove Hybrid bonus, add drone speed and optimal
Ishtar
Myrmidon -> add 25 mbit bandwidth, can use 4 heavies, keep the rep bonus
Dominix -> remove Hybrid bonus, add drone speed and optimal, remove one turret bay
Dominix Navy Issue -> remove Hybrid bonus, add drone speed and optimal
b) Pirate
Gila
Rattlesnake
A module, increasing damage and usability of drones, could look like this:
Drone Damage Enhancer II:
+22,5 % damage for light, medium, heavy and sentry drones
+10% increase of MWD speed for light, medium and heavy drones
There also should be a Faction version of it, just like the Omnidirectional Tracking Link has.
Do not increase the orbiting speed of drones, meaning the speed they maintain when they arrive at the target, because that would gimp the tracking and as a followup, the damage applied.
Here is an example of a Domi using said modules:
[Dominix, Drone Assault]
Large Armor Repairer II
Armor Kinetic Hardener II
Armor Thermic Hardener II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Drone Damage Enhancer II
Drone Damage Enhancer II
Drone Damage Enhancer II
Drone Navigation Computer II
Drone Navigation Computer II
Omnidirectional Tracking Link II
Omnidirectional Tracking Link II
100MN Afterburner II

Drone Link Augmentor II
Large Sentry Damage Augmentor I
Large Heavy Drone Damage Augmentor I -> should be implemented
[empty rig slot]
Hobgoblin II x5
Garde II x5
Ogre II x5
This fitting should get around 850 DPS from Drones with perfect skills. A real Drone platform, I would like to fly.
