Just a word of warning, in the last patch they gave these things a huge boost. If you're running missions that have these, make sure you pay attention. They're about on par with Corpii Cardinals or so now. I used to be able to tank 6-7 of them with no problems, now I can't even handle 4. They're also taking about 5 more volleys than they used to (heavy missiles, EM type with 1 t2 BCU), and for some reason, the wrecks they leave don't last even an hour.
Seems like whatever the change CCP made with the "wrecks" last patch they decided to multiply their damage by 3 and give a significant increase to their armor and hull. Kinda crappy seeing as they still have the worst loot of any battleship-class rat.

Use explosive damage on their armor and rejoyce.

Yeah, that's unusual for rogue drones though, usually it's straight EM, and CCP said nothing about changing their damage or resist tables, only that they'd leave a wreck.

just checked the Eve-HQ Data dump viewer, it says the Elite Drone Parasites are still dealing Thermal/kinetic.
optimal 40,000m
falloff 24,000m
damage kin 20
Therm 28
But are you sure they werent Drone Controllers they deal only explosive.
optimal 3,200m
falloff 16,000m
damage exp 32
this app has the very latest data dump from rev 2.2, it even has the Rorqual data.

I don't know what kind of damage they were dealing, but I was running between 67 and 78% for all resists and I had to warp out in a drake with a shield regen of around 198. Normally takes 7-8 1.2 mil BSs to break my tank when I have resists fitted against them, whatever they did do those parasites is way beyond any other mission rat I've come across so far.
I only checked one wreck, and it only had the normal single elite drone AI in it. It may not be their only loot anymore, but I only checked the one wreck before moving on and their wrecks were gone when I came back ~45 minutes later in my salvager, even though the other wrecks were still there.
Edit: It comes to my attention that the last paragraph had a gross misusage of the word "only". I apologize.

The Wrecks disappear much more quickly than the others... like 15 minutes. I thought they went away when you end the mission... but their timers appear to ber set incorrectly so they disappear after 15-20 minutes. I killed the drones, jumped to the next system to get my salvager, came back, and they disappeared just as I started salvaging.

after 4 EDP kills since patch, all i've gotten is elite drone AI for loot and Metal Scraps for salvage. Not much of an improvement.
