The main problem tho is the ridiculous prices for the tech 2 drones. It's all fine and dandy if they were a couple 100k per drone but when its a few million per drone, the financial hit for losing a few drones can add up pretty damn fast.
No one is forcing you to use T2 drones. If you're afraid of losing them just use T1 versions, they're 20% less effective and 90% less expensive.
Don't be stupid.
The advantages of using tech 2 drones are not negligible. And the whole point of having multiple waves is to make us treat drones as expendable. They cannot be considered expendable when they cost a couple million each.
You can talk when you tech 2 ammo starts costing a couple million per piece.
Tech 2 Large Spike Ammo, 1980 ISK per unit. Reloading my Rokh for a typical ratting run would cost me about 2.5 million ISK that I ain't getting back. A brace of T2 Medium drones, if I work the aggro right, cost just as much and I can launch them after securing aggro on the ship itself and use them indefinitely, as long as I use them intelligently.

equip a remote repper in your highs to fix your drones and stop depending upon a soon to be dead lame mechanic.
This is one of the worst suggestions, assume a myrm is in battle with even three ships, it can then only take care of 2 drones. And they will pop before you get a lock.
Try this on a domi, oh wait, it doesnt have cap.
I'd like to be able to shoot your guns, and watch you remote rep em.
Hell, you can not lose your guns, your guns dont get targeted by sentries, and you can overload them.
I'm sorry, but is there a reason to have a drone boat anymore?
thank-you
refute that - caldari
My guns and missiles run out of ammunition.
For ratting pilots, my ammunition takes up cargo space I'd just as soon use for loot and salvage. My capacity to rat continuously is an ongoing and head wracking struggle to balance carrying enough ammunition to actually fill the remainder of my hold with loot and carrying so much ammunition I'm forced to abandon valuable loot items because of space considerations.
