No.

Also, TD drones are terrible compared to their same-size alternatives. Same is true for web, tp, neut drones.

A flight of neut drones is equivalent to one neuting module of the same size, but better staggered. So, for example, a flight of EV-600 drones would screw over any frigate as it draws off the same cap as a medium neut, but in smaller amounts at once, which reduces the effectiveness of a nosferatu on the frigate.

A flight of medium TD drones is about as effective as an unscripted TD, which is pretty terrible. A flight of heavy web drones still webs less than a single web module. Both of these suffer from stacking penalty, or they would be pretty awesome.

EWAR drones need to be fixed, but apparently there is something new for them in store, so let's hope CCP is doing the right thing.

You cannot fit a single medium turret/launcher that will typically out-damage five medium scout drones.

neut drones are good to have in a curse tho as once you cap some one out you can put a flight of drones on them and move on to next target. At least worked for me so far.

Yeah I agree with this one. Love the neut drones tbh - but I'd almost have to say that the curse is probably the only boat I'd use them on. Not even the pilgrim - range of the neuts means you're up close and personal and probably the tackle, I'd prefer ECM or damage at that range, depending on if I have friends to help.

If anything I'm more questioning the TD bonus at all on the amarrian cruiser/recon. 99% of my curse/pilgrim builds really require a MWD in any case, the pilgrim to stay close, the curse to stay either at range or get close quickly. In both cases either for the pilgrim to have some extra speed while cloaked or the curse really to reach 1.8/1.9k/sec I usually fit speed/nano's to the lows (apart from a dcu).

All of this screams to put MWD on. TD at that point is useless because of your sig radius. I'd rather fit more tank.

If you do happen to go armor tank on the pilgrim or curse they become awfully slow and unwieldy imo.

I guess you MIGHT get some benefit on the odd chance you solo tackle a battleship and turn off the mwd going around it at 500m radius. Seriously, tho, how often does that happen in reality ?

I'd love to know/see some stats on this with regard to speed/TD benefits with MWD running.

Indeed. And you usually don't have to give up 100s of DPS from your guns to fit an EWAR module. I'm not sure how that can be balanced, but it needs to be.

MWD doesn't negate the speed tanking at all, the thing is 500% sig is like 500% bonus to their tracking. so unless your getting at least 500% more speed your net negative, if you are going full speed you are still 'gaining' on their tracking speed.

All of this screams to put MWD on. TD at that point is useless because of your sig radius. I'd rather fit more tank.
