Going from tech1 to tech 2 needs a little love. Yes the few bonuses of speed and hit points are nice -- but lets be honest, the main stat we really care about is the hit points repaired. A whopping 4hp increase from the t1 to t2 doesn't really justify the amount of SP invested.

IMO: T1 18hp T2 26hp
And no I have zero statistical data to back up my opinion that would make this a nice benchmark hehe

Edit: Medium Logistic Drones.

Assuming this is still valid

The maths are not hard for one who is knowledgeable in teh way of the numbers.

A light armor bot II has a base repair of 14.
Repair drone operations gives up to 25%

14*1.25=17.5

ship gives 20% per level, so with logistics 5(17.5*2=35), you should be repairing 35hp per go with repair drones 5 and logistics 5.

Running the numbers for T1 shows it to equate to 5 less armor/cycle(12*1.25*2=30).

EDIT: Thus, a full set of T2 light armor bots would do 175 armorhp per cycle, or about 35hp/s.
A full set of T1 would be 30 hp/s. But since it's 5 drones with a 5s cycle time, that was easy.Laughing

Just say NO to Dailies

With max skill the difference is still negligible in relation to invested sp. A mere 10 hp increase per drone for the t2 mediums from their t1 counterpart is ....What?

I know I know... who cares about logi pilots. They're not even important enough to be on K/M Cry

CCP is very touchy about balancing drones, so it takes a lot of time.

However it doesn't remove hilarious stuff like Arbitrator being inferior in everything that Vexor is. 2/2 split? Fitting "freedom"? Incapability to mount armor plates for good with amarr ships being stated as heavy on them? Same agility and speed?
