As the question is above, what would be the best drone type to use with the eos? I have tried heavies, but sentries just seem to work better. Which would you recomend?

Berserker IIs and a web.

How did you Veterans start?

Depends if its for PvE or PvP. PvE = Sentries. PvP both have merit but I would rather use Berserkers in PvP so you don't always leave your drones behind when you GTFO, Zerkers track webbed targets really well and go pretty fast too.

with only 250m3 drone bay, you'll want a single set of heavies and perhaps a spare or two. In which case I would definitely go with a set of Berserker's. The Eos is a brawler. The bonus to heavy mwd and tracking is also too good to pass up. I imagine there are some situations where you want to use sentries and have something tankier than the ishtar (but not a domi), but these situations should really be few and far between. If you really want to use the ship in PVE, i would go ahead and just have fun with a MWD and ogres and blasters, because if you're actually serious you'd be using an ishtar or a domi-variant.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

As the other posters have said, it depends on what you are using it for.

I use an Eos as my second toon support ship for DED plexes and Lvl 4 missions. I have three ganglinks in the highs, and I drop sentries and assign them to my primary toon. That way I don't really need to pay attention to the Eos unless it, or the sentries, start taking fire.
