The signature radius on drones needs to be increased. Even using light blasters in an Incursus I had trouble hiting them unless the drone and my ship were at a relative stop.
Also, something still needs to be done with battleship weapons vs. frigates. It's pretty much impossable to hit an orbiting frigate with large blasters in a Megathron even if it's webed. On the flip side cruise missles and torpedos have no problem at all hitting them when webed. Eaither large turret tracking vs. frigates needs to be improved or cruise missles and torpedos need major agility nerfs so that they can't hit an orbiting frig while webed... like the large turrets.
The tracking for battleships vs. frigates doesnt need to be changed, battleship weapons should stay as is. As a battleship pilot you have the option to go for as much damage as possilble, or have a ballanced load out to take out smaller ships. You could easily eqiup a dual 250mm and take out that frigate, if that is not yet the case, the tracking of those guns should be changed so they are usefull. The whole idea behind these changes is to make Battleships less "one ship army", instead of having an powerful vs. everything ship, you are now forced to have a cruiser escort to take out those frigates/cruisers that get in close, or you equip some dual 250's to go solo.
Ok, you totally missed the point of my post. My point is that battleship weapons are unbalanced in the regard that cruise missiles and torpedoes can hit webbed frigs, with or without MWD, while large turrets don't stand a chance even with the frigate webbed.
I'm not saying that large turrets should still be uber vs. frigs. I just want some consistency. If large turrets are ineffective against frigs then so should cruise missiles and torps.
Also if they nerf the ability of frigates to run MWDs continuously then they will be helpless against missiles... unless they make changes to missile agility like I was suggesting or some other change to limit the effectiveness of cruise missiles and torps against frigates.
