[Domi] Any reason to use sentry rigs over DDA II's in low slots?

According to EFT, the DDA mods boost sentry damage too... so why would anyone ever use the sentry rigs anymore (that don't boost the other drone types)?? Am I missing something here?

There is no relevant use for the sentry rigs nowadays that I know of. Even the t2 rig has smaller bonus so it won't stack penalize beneficially like t2 burst aerators do vs. damage mods.

It ain't all about DPS... sometimes you have to fit to be able to survive whilst your drones do their thing. Blink

This however doesn't apply here, because the calibration cost and rig slot of SDA would give the same tank as that lowslot which DDA takes.

It's just obsolete.

Most of the drone rigs are very poor now. The only ones worth using are the ones for control range as this is not stacking penalised and saves high slots.

I still run a sentry rig on my PVE Ishtar though, and even then it's just when I armor fit as low slots for tank are in very short supply. I don't think I would ever use this rig on a battleship or shield tanked ship now.
