The Dragoon is a damn hard ship to fly. You will rarely be having a 1v1 as 'NEUTS!'. The ship is stupidly slow as well. Kiters are a gamble to take on.

kiters are always a gamble for me. but drone control range is 45km or something right? so if they try to run from my drones and start killing them i can get out if i burn in the opposite direction.

i did try to make a dragoon that makes use of the 50% increases mwd speed but it was very cap hungry and whats the point of mwd when the neut range in more in line with rockets?

are missile fits any good on the dragoon?

This sounds like you think the Mwd speed bonus is for the dragoon itself. It is however for the drones mwd speed. Also it is only 25%.

The mechanics for drones is the weakness. They get to the target fast. They will then slow down and settle into an orbit. Damage is applied. The drones will have to go back into MWD mode if the target speeds away.... Settle back into orbit... apply damage.

The faster a target is, the more time drones will be chasing it an the less time they will actually be shooting it. If the target has snakes or links your damage will be greatly reduced. If they have snakes AND links you are screwed.

The Electronic Warfare Drones skill gives you at level 5 another 15km control range (3km per level) so 57km is the minimum a drone based ship should have.
