I've noticed a very serious imbalance problem with these:

Currently a CN Hornet in the hands of a skilled worm pilot has:

2160 Shield Hitpoints with 125 sec recharge time
2.6*2160/125 = 45 shield repaired per second at peak shield recharge point.

That's equivalent to an 62 dps tank on a light drone. Good luck killing it.

It gets even crazier for vespas
CN Vespa on a gila gets 6480 shield hitpoints (LoL) which recharges in 200 secs

Thats a 116 dps tank on a med drone.

Oversight on CCP's part maybe?

No, I don't think you realise the refocus of Guristas ships, CCP specifically said they were meant to be strong as hell. I for one, love it with my Rattlesnake, 2k volleys from 2 Curator IIs. Don't forget that Guristas ships now have very limited bandwidth, the snake for example can only field 2 sentries.

I have no problem with regular drones or regular sentries. It's the navy ones that get crazy. A rattlesnake warden II has 5400 shield HP, whereas a CN Warden has 10800. Twice shield HP= twice shield regen.

This can't be true as everyone in the balance thread said that with only 2 drones it would be trivial to kill one and remove half your dps.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

+1 for dripping sarcasm.

Welcome to our new drone overlords, yes.

Working as intended. Similar to having 2 wingmen fly alongside you. Blob hard while solo now

If you know you going vs Gurista fit an ECM and derp the drone.

Edit: But yes, in most cases they're immortal.

I would try killing the ship and not the drone. Maybe that was the intended effect perhaps.

Why blow up an expensive drone that you could just scoop up after blapping the owner? It'd certainly increase your loot take.
