Reasons :-
Drones use no ammo or cap - my view is that the drone bay itself is the launcher and the drones are the charges. A smartbomb to drones is like a defender to missiles.
Oh, they use no cap, going this way, we should nerf missiles and projectiles? Get serious.
A smartbomb works, can do damage to other ships, a damage can cause millions of losses in drones in a short time while a defender is crap, causes a very slight loss and won't work on short range at all while smartbomb always work on drones due to their very close orbit.
So, no, I don't think we can be compared.

Drones cause extreme lag in battles of mass.
I think it has been stated before : game balance > anything.
Lag is a separate issue, and they changed the drone ROF. After that, I'm waiting for drones to be immaterial so there is no bumping calculations which are far more heavy than drones shooting.

Just using heavy drones in a myri kills a bs spawn almost as fast as using drones and missiles from a drake.
(And my drone skills sux atm)
Wait, 5 heavies on a myrmidon has been stated as overpowered and nerfed. Now, it will have 3,3 heavy drones equivalent of firepower instead of 5, just calculate, it's more aligned with drake.
And, you may not have noticed, but the drake is the most tank focused tier 2 BC, so they limited its firepower and it is a long range ship, long range weapons always do less damage than very short range ones. Drones are very short range ones (as all gallente weapons) as in 'firepower that can be destroyed with short range weapons', either a gallente ship is on blasters and you shoot the ship, either it uses drones and you shoot the drones, you always have a close range defense working against gallente.

Drones are the most versitile addition a ship has. Yet their versitility is restricted because those who need to use the web drones etc don't have drone bays big enough.
Versatile, yes, but you have to choose before you take off most of the time. Dronebays aren't big enough for droneships to take all the existing types of drones. So, when a droneship comes into combat, just count the drones and size of the drones and you know how to beat it. It's versatile as any ship where you can choose what modules to fit. Hey, isn't this like any ship?

Finally.... long time players will know that EVE has seasons. Seasons where a race is best and then next season is greatly nerfed. This is the Gallante race atm if you didn't notice.
As you recognize it, we are just asking for the nerf not to go too far, that's all.
Drones didn't receive a bonus that all weapon mounts (ships) received, drones are ships (and also are a weapon on their own which makes them so special), so drones should have had the HP buff with everyone.
