Give the Moros it's Drone bay back and it's Drone bonuses. I mean really... How can you have a Galente capital that can't use Drones, that's blasphemy.... It's a representation of the Galente nation (Which are all about.. Drones), not a basterdation of the Amarr Rev.....

The moros is already objectively the best dread.
It doesn't NEED it's drone bay back.

Balance is not always about being the same, true balance is about differences in strength and weaknesses. You play eve I thought you would know this by now.

There is no Dread capable of fending off smaller ships currently. The moros used to be less powerful DPS wise, and more powerful at being able to defend it's fleet from smaller then dread threats.

Then again It's all Cap Blobs these days..... So maybe it doesn't matter.

in case you haven't noticed, there's a trend (not that I'm saying its good) towards taking away the drone bays on Gallente ships.

It used to be every gallente ship except the indutrials/freighters could carry at least 1 light drone, then we got T2 ships, and there were 2 exceptions, the Ares, and the Nemesis.... (and on this priniciple, I wanted the serpentis daredevil to get a light drone too, but meh...)

Since then, many more gallente ships have lost their drone bays (atron, catalyst, moros, for starters).
However, we did get a T1 frigate class drone boat, the new tristan... so... meh

It seems that the gallente are just the race that has more ships that specialize in drones, rather than basically ever combat ship using drones (even if they were a 2ndary weapon system)

By design. It's the whole reason they took the drone bays away.

Allow the Moros to use 1 light drone.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

That's actually the IDEA.

Capitals are supposed to have trouble taking out subcapitals (carriers being the exception)... which compensates for their ability to field large amounts of damage.

Now I understand that you feel "icky" with the Moros not having a drone bay... I did too. But it works out in the end. If you create a "shield-gank" Moros you can actually track battleships surprisingly well. It's also really fun to be top damage (or close to) in a capital fight.

How did you Veterans start?
