Ive recently gotten over the fact that whiel i am a drone user and specialize in this that no matter what happens drones are getting smacked with the nerf bat really hard if we like it or not.
So instead of another whine thread i thought of some ways to save some of the drone ships from total and uter ruin. Specifically the gallente and amarr recons. Now Thier specialty while it is E-war which is and has been nerfed on both ships already they get almost all of thier damage capabilitys from thier drones.
The amarrian recons for instance usually fill thier highslots with nos and neuts which is thier specialty which leaves them with no damage capability other than drones.they can field 5 mediums and carry a set of 5 lights while this is fine for the current system this is acceptable because you can recall your mediums and relauch them with full shields now for anyone whos flown the ship you know you dont get much dps out of the medium drones you have and even less if you have to rely on lights. Now with drones not being able to recharge shields making them easier to kill and ive heard of even the possibilty that you may not lose lock when they are brought in and redeployed though it may just have been a bug on sisi.
As for the gallente recons it will be in a much worse position than the curse or pilgrim as not only can it not field a full rack of mediums it cant even carry any spares weather your fielding 3 mediums and 2 light or just 4 mediums. The gallente recons while they have the ability to fit other weapons in thier highslots have no real damage dealing ability while the curse or pilgrim may not need it as they can drain the enemy of thier cap instead of cutting through the enemy tank with damage.
thus you leave the gallente recons with less damage and less drone bay.
So with the new drone nerfs i think it woudl be reasonable to say that all of the ships need to have thier drones bays boosted and thier bandwith set at 50 so that they all have the ability to field 5 drones and carry at least 1 backup set of mediums.
If in fact you want to have a loss of lock when drones are recalled drone bays will have to be doubled on all ships even if the bandwith stays the same because the moment you pop out your drones one will die several more will die along the way to the target and recallign your drones will be all but usless you might as well just leave em there only to pop another drone out when it dies.

i should add that the gallente recon specifically needs to be buffed a bit with a larger drone bay mabe swap the missile or turret bonus for a drone bonus. similar to the curse

Sorry for destroying your thread, but you should log in to Sisi from time to time, before making suggestions like that.
Curse and Pilgrim are getting 150m¦ DroneBay and 50 M/bit Bandwith.
Arazu and Lachesis stay as they are Drone-wise, and they don't need a change, as they can field Turrets and Launchers not having Drones as primary WeaponSystem.
They can deal up to 200DPS easily if fitted for it, same as 5 Hammerhead II's do.
...next.

Damage is secondary for all these ships. Their primary weapons are their EW capabilities.

Drones are not being nerfed, the Myrmidon and the Eos are. And they needed it. I just wish they had nerfed the guns instead of their drone bandwidth.
The gallente ewar boats though will be useless with the damp nerf.

yep- actually the whole drone "nerf" turned into a nice boost the amarr drone boats.
Reasoning: you can now bring a decent set of attack drones, a set of repair drones and a set of e-war drones to fights.
This makes the ship soooo much more versatile for all sorts of gang-engagements.
For the curse it's pretty awesome because if you have to run, leaving your drones behind is no longer the fun-brake(tm) it used to be.
...and the arbitrator :-)
I am very happy with the drone changes. Not making things overpowered, but adding a bit more *spice* to these ships - something which especially the pilgrim needed (now if only the e-war "nerf" would be a tad less annoying).

Drones and cloaking don't really mix too well anyway.
