Doesnt the new system with bandwidth allow the drone boats to have multipul waves of drones. So send one wave out it gets shields chewed up pullem back send out another wave etc.
That's how it was explained by CCP. But it turns out I think a whopping TWO ships actually got drone bay increases. So it was basically just a drone-ship nerf.
Are the bandwidth restrictions on most drone ships lower than the size restrictions originally were?
The ships I've looked at have been able to field the same number/combinations of drones as always, but I don't fly drone boats...

How does bandwidth nerf droneships? By not buffing them quite as much as promised? I don't get it.

...and this is bad why.....?
Cause name another weapon system that can be permanently lost until docking. Gallente drone boats always had this issue of leaving their whole weapon system behind, but it was somewhat balanced by the few perks (like shield regen, and nice "theoretical dps"). Now they nerfed the DPS and took away the perk
I always thought it was balanced by having a weapons system with a huge 'optimal range', few if any tracking issues, no cap usage, no ammo, no need for slots on the ship, and no need for a continuous weapons lock.

And in relation to drones, I would expect that the powergrid of a ship, even a frigate should be enough to recharge the shields at an accellerated rate. maybe not insta but it should be significantly increased while in a ship.
Try plugging a battery into a much higher capacity recharger than it is designed for and see what happens.

You know what, thank you Crumplecorn. You just illustrated that people calling for drone nerfs have no ******* clue what they are talking about and got no idea how they even work
That might be true if I had called for drone nerfs. Whoops.
And you're right, I don't use drones (except as auxiliary weapons). I use blasters (or railguns if I need range).
- My guns can reach a few kilometers at most if I want meaningful tracking. So I wouldn't consider 100km mediocre.
- I know about the bugs to do with drones screwing up their own tracking. However I also know that I have a choice between hitting nothing beyond a few kilometers (blasters), or only being able to track at a distance (railguns). Drones, OTOH, track just as well at 0km as they do at their maximum range. As for heavies not being able to hit small fast targets, that's true of all BS sized weapons.
- Yes, I know there are other weapons systems with no cap usage. That doesn't change the fact that it is an advantage of drones.
- Yes, I know there are other weapons systems with no ammo usage. That doesn't change the fact that it is an advantage of drones.
- Yes, I can and do put modules on my ship to enhance my weapons too.
