I propose going a bit further:

EM drones are made equal to EXPLOSIVE drones in everything except damage type.
KINETIC drones are made equal to THERMAL drones in everything except damage type.

Reasons being:
Warrior II's don't need nerfing, it's the kinetic and em drones that need buffing.
Kinetic drones currently have the intended dps but are underused. As long as em and kinetic drones do inferior dps, they will be underused.

I like it.

Yes, that is a good idea.

if EM drones will be equal to explosive, than thermal and kinetic drones need boost in damage or speed

That should have been fixed long ago, surpized why it's still not changed. Amarr Light and Medium drones really need a boost of damage modifier.

This seems a simple fix, any chance of it ever happening?

I was wondering why those rogue drones (strong EM resist hole) were taking only slightly more damage from the acolytes as they were from the warriors. I can't believe I never noticed this before.

CCP should hotfix this, seriously!

Come on CCP! My Amarr drones are feeling unloved and are likely to go on a suicide run into the nearest Serpentis fleet if you don't give them reason to be used more.

My Hobgoblins and Warriors are picking on my Acolytes now. They are sobbing quietly in the corner as we speak. The Hornets are staying out of it as they know it could be their turn next.

This is your fault CCP. They need some loving.

This.... So much this :D

Please CCP implement this.

Is there anywhere more formal we can post this because it is such a good idea!!!!!

Yes, I like this idea.

Either fix the damage mods on Amarr drones or implement this idea.

I'd be happy with either.

simple easy fix. All drones have the same speed, damage mod and tracking. No need to get all crazy with the stats on drones ffs. Every race has a resist hole somewhere and now all combat drones more are useful.

Strangely i like this idea.

your drones are as good as your skills, and you choose the damage type you want to field.

Create more drone modules and rigs

Also, now that lag isnt (so much) an issue anymore with TiDi, allow a ship to field more than 5 drones with the proper modules to allow this

COME AT ME BRO

Meh... you would still be better off with Hobgoblins. It would be easier to tank the Warrior IIs, which would off balance things.

Me, I say make the worst attributes tie for all drones.

This is true. However, you would then have the issue of tanking a drone that does EM damage as opposed to Explosive that's almost as fast as a Warrior II but does more damage.

Making drones suck even more wouldn't be that great for Gallente pilots that use drone boats.

The problem is that the Warrior II's are doing more damage than they are supposed to due to a mix up with the damage multipliers.

Fix that and Amarr drones will become useful again.
