I would love to shoot out a full flight of sentries in my paladin it makes blitzing that much better. plus what do we put in utility slots now that we have MTU and salvagers?

Drone Links, obviously ;)

Anyway on a more serious note, if that would be implemented I'm afraid you would not like what CCP would do to your turret damage and to be honest, I personally would prefer turret damage over drone damage. Not that it matters that much for me as given the options I personally would pick a Nightmare over Plaladin anyway. But give me ~1200 - 1500 dps of instant damage out to 100 km and ofc I would switch. It would be dumb to not do given how OP it would be.

I still put two tractors in my highs. And one nos.

I don't salvage and loot everything so I will selectively tractor in battleship wrecks and have drones salvage. Once all the easy-to-reach BS wrecks are sucked dry I move on to the next room. I feel like I can keep a decent pace and still get all the GOOD stuff out of the mission this way.

Just increasing the bandwidth to sentry-levels on the existing marauders is obviously a dumb idea.

That being said...

I would have liked to see the Kronos as a focused drone marauder.

There are plenty of ships that do more damage with guns or missiles that have vastly larger drone bays.

Imo, no BS should have less than 50 and the bandwidth to use it.

We already have pirate battleships that do both high DPS and get high bandwidth. And unique bonuses. What's especially stupid about this idea?

I also would like 8 turret slots for double the DPS. Of course add 4 more high slots to keep utility slots. How awesome would that be?

Kronos based on the Dominix would be sexy! The problem is too many people cry about sentry drones being OP

In my opinion, they would become too overpowered... I like them where they are at the moment, able to kill and tank heavy stuff easily while their flight of drones takes care of frigates up close...

What would be the optimal mix of tractor sentries and salvage sentries?

at the moment i warp to site mdj to 100km away from rats. deploy mtu kill everything release salvage drones. I have no use for my extra utilities I figure if I can throe out sentries I can put in remote repairs. this is how I feel the paladin was designed to fly

It sounds nice but at 100 km without tracking links the only drones that will hit are Wardens (75 + 42 km). With max drone skills 5 unbonused Warden II's put out 231 DPS. Compared to over 1k turret DPS of the Paladin this is nothing to get excited about at all.

Compare that to a ship that gives bonuses to drones like the Dominix... Bouncer II's with 110 + 95 km doing 660 DPS.

From your description it sounds like you're talking about a MJD Dominix rather than a Paladin to me

Have you tried deploying mtu and then jumping away, so that the rats die around 100km from you near the mtu ? :)
