So far the design theme seems to be Gallante usually get drone damage/hp bonus, while Amarr "usually" gets to carry a lot of variety in their over sized drone bays but with no bonuses (yes, there are exceptions which may need to be looked at).

This would be fine "IF"

1: Utility and EW drones of all types were actually worth using most of the time (outside of actual Caldari EW drones).
2: If the drone interface is improved to make manipulating them less of a complete cluster.
3: If the combat and scout drones all had distinct and significant advantages to using them (other than Minmatar fast, Gallante high damage, the rest are useless).

Lets face it neut drones, tracking disruptor drones, target painter drones, sensor dampening drones, and Amarr and Caldari combat drones are are fairly worthless.
Repair drones are rarely used outside of a tournament setting.

Only Caldari EW drones and Minmatar and Gallante combat drones are your only real choices, and that makes the only advantage to having a big drone bay as being able to launch replacement drones when you lose one.

I think the Prophecy will still be inferior to the Myrmidon because it can't field as many drones. It's seems like CCP are taking a ship no-one uses because it sucks and turning it into a ship no-one will use because it still sucks. We shall have to wait and see though.


True but nobody uses any of the tier 1 Battle cruisers.

Caldari have great sniping sentry drones. you tend to see them more with carriers at a pos bash.
