This is a proposal for smaller webber drones. They'd be of the light scout drone class and give a 5% reduction in speed to the target. Since they are mainly a supplement for Caldari ships, they would be based on the hornet hull, have the same speed, HP etc as the hornet.
Thoughts?

Pointless since their effect would be very small. Webbing effects share stacking penalities.

Pointless eh, ok 10%. 15, 90, still pointless?

Sometimes it takes just 10 or 20% to catch someone, taranis pilots know this and hopefully have 2 drones...
Light webifying drones for just 9.375% would be enough. Medium ones for 15%.
These values are thrown like this because in the attack drones, it is this way : heavy = 24 medium = 12 (50% heavy) lights = 7.5 (31.25% heavy)
After stacking, two lights would take you 16% speed maybe. If a drone ship goes for 5 lights to catch inties, it will be around : (my stacking penalty values are from memory just for the example) 0.90625*(1-0.86*0.09375)*(1-0.58*0.09375)*(1-0.28*0.09375) *(1-0.1*0.09375)*(1-0.02*0.09375)=~0.76
This means the ship will keep 76% of the speed, it's not really a balance breaker! Webbed by 24% by drones that may still be slower than you after this 24% speed reduction... -- Pocket drone carriers (tm) enthousiast !

why would they be based on hornets?

Two reasons,
First for balance, if they were warriors, they perhaps would be too fast.
Secondly, because they are a way for Caldari ships, that are forced to make the tank/tackle decision, have an additional option for tackling. Granted anyone could use them of course, but it made RP sense to me.

Sounds reasonable. I am not trying to break balance at all, so much as perhaps make it a bit better, from a primarly Caldari pilot perspective. Beserkers, only current webber drone hull, are quite large and only a few Cal ships can run them, and then only three of them.
