Do sentry drones do well against sleepers or do they eat them for din din? Thinking about skilling up for a wormhole ratting Ishtar.

Looked up...saw this F***ING clown dropping like a rock.  Woke up in Vylade wondering what just happened!!!

Drone and sleeper share a platonic relationship. Waiting for the season finale to see if they finally end up together.

Spoiler: Drone dies before we find out what happens.

Sentries are fine as long as you don't just deploy them and stop paying attention. I used a domi in WHs for years, and never lost a drone.

You need to have RR on the field or they catch aggro. Popping triggers early also causes drone aggro. Sentry domi gangs have the best effiiciency in C4's. Highest "actual" dps out to 100k with the right fits & skills...

It's not the sleepers you must worry about feeding...

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

This leads into another interest, hunting in WHS. Would a solo manticore with probe launcher mounted have any chance?

Choose your targets wisely and yes, you should find some kills.

Another +1 for the Domi, it has good performance even when t2 fit; can lose a few and not care.

"**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.

Using drones in sleeper sites requires micromanaging. Some days the sleepers love them and you have to keep pulling them in and other days the sleepers can't be bothered. That being said, if you use any ECM that will draw the aggro back to you and off of your drones.
