i fail to see the use of about 60k max range drones on ships that often have optimal ranges and used ranges of over 150-200k
I dont like this comment for some reasons (of course). Just becuase you sit at 150-200km dosen't mean you wont get attacked. moreover if you are going to be, it is going to be from smaller ships, the like of which are best dealt with by drones. Hence you need them.
Moreover with ships like the Eagle, to be sitting at 150km means your dps is soo bad that it is rather pointless. what is more likely is that you are going to be sitting at 60 km as it is easier to get to and you find yourself in that position more often. at this mean that drones are usefull. And if you have some sentries would be extremly useful. they are of course sniping drones arent they. why cant the sniping ships have a few of them.
last but not least, rails dont have the best tracking and find it hard to hit stuff when they come close, unlike blasters and hence a few lights would come in handy if a rifter comes along.
That is all, feel free not to read this if you are going to troll

So what would you propose they take away from the ship to give it a drone bay?
i dont think they need to, going back to the eagle, it is very niche and having a small drones bay only 10m3 would allow it to enter much different situations with more choice. Moreover the beagle would get a real step up as it is probably used just as much as a rail fit, if not
edit: sorry for double post

I think you missed the entire point of Caldari and their philosophy of warfare, so I'll say it here:
Caldari are all about specialization and long range engagements, with emphasis on shield systems and electronic warfare for defense and long range missile systems/railguns for offense. There is very little emphasis on drones or armor or speed. If you don't like the Caldari philosophy you are more than able to train up for another race that suits your needs.
thanks for your imput.
I agree with you that caldari is all about specialiSation, however th rokh looks sexy so i havent changed race. But also i think they can have drone bays while keeping their traditional role. Having drones would not make them into in your face pewpew, but i would bet that eagle pilots wouldnt mind ahing the shield resit bonus changing to a bonus that makes sentries small and fit into a small drone bay.
just a random idea. but i dont think everyone would fit hammerheads or warriors in their drone bays if we had some.
oh maybe a bonus to drone Ecm

All ships are balanced with everything in mind
yeah, so balanced. its not as if people go for the zealot over the eagle for its looks is it. and i wasnt saying they should just get more drones and loose nothin. i was saying nerf their tank and have some drones whicg will help the. use ecm to run form tacklers or sentries to help snipe. i dont think that is so much to ask or even to blindly hope for
