Wasps, ogres are just painfully slow.

For PvP or PvE?
For PvE both. I use 4 ogres, 2 wasps and 2 praetors. Don't launch until the NPCs have started firing on you, that way they're at close range already and the speed differences are irrelevant and you get a mixture of damage types and resistances.
For PvP wasps or bezerkers even.

Depends on what you are flying.
Some examples:
* Blasterthron. You already have a HUGE damage output of kinetic/thermal. Someone not extremely tanked against that will go down in notime to your guns.
Using Praetors and berserkers is a good idea.
* Pulse laser apoc. As you already deal lots of thermal and em.
you should obviously use wasps and/or berserkers.
* EMP tempest. As you deal loads of explosive/em damage,
you should use high damaging ogres/wasps.
* Missile ship. As you can choose damagetype, simply use the drones with highest output,
ie wasps or ogres.
* Long range ship. As the only purpose of your drones is to deal with frigates comming close to scramble you,
your best choice would be to use the slow but high-damaging ogres.
In the exact same way which there are no "best ship", there are no "best drones". YOU need to figure out what best suits YOUR play style and the situation you're up for.

I thought the heavy drones had trouble hitting frigates... or is that a slated change not in-game yet?

They still hit, only thing is frigs now kill 3-4 of them as opposed to maybe damaging one before patch(es).

yeah and why not use wasp to do even more kin dmg? i allways use wasp on every bs, because main reason of drones atm is killing frigs. type of dmg doesnt really matter on frigs but speed. and vs bs your drones do nothing compared to your guns. ...

Well, sure, adding more of the same damage is a way to go, Not my way though.
And "vs bs your drones do nothing compared to your guns." - I don't agree. 9 drones = about another 100 damage/second output. Like adding another 2 L turrets which doesn't use any cap or fails to ECM. Worth alot in my eyes.

I would like to add to dalmans post that keeping in mind what kind of NPCs you'll be fighting for PVE is quite important as well. Serpentis for instance take a lot more damage when you use thermal against them, and they come really close so speed doesn't matter in most cases, so you use ogres. etc. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

Ogres are garbage since they stick to each other and stop being able to move.

I only use praetors for thier em damage, good against shields and bloods. Wasps are much faster and less expensive to replace. Ogres are the biggest damage dealer, but too damn slow.
