Um wat...?

Gal is first drone race, best drone race. Master Drone Race Gallente reporting in. Pooper pained amarrian scrubs need to l2lazorz and stop stealing glorious freedom loving diverse egalitarian gallente drone technology.

Ok, sarcasm and jokes aside, why does every ship need a drone bay/bandwidth? There are plenty of ships without drone bays or with limited drone function. Seems like a balancing point and intentional.

I didn't know! And to think I've been flying Amarr laser ships for years now, blissfully unaware that in not having a capacitor booster I was doing something wrong!

I made a Cyclone work with MWD and XL shield booster and without a cap booster, and that drained a lot more capacitor than your armor rep fit. Capacitor boosters are one of several ways to boost capacitor output.

Yeah but a Zealot can tank any frigate, even a Gold Magnate. Also, I'd take the cap booster off and fit a web instead. Bam! Frigate dead, if it gets close enough to shoot. Unless it's a Merlin, but a Zealot could probably chase one of those down.

I just don't see the problem with a cruiser that cannot ràpe frigates. I think the problem is more that most cruisers CAN ràpe virtually every frigate they come across. It's not fair for frigates. But ultimately you just shouldn't be flying a Zealot alone in dangerous space.

It's not too late. HACs haven't been hit with the tiericide stick yet.

I say remove drone bays on all assault and heavy assault ships other than the drone ones, with the exception of the Deimos which gets a small drone bay because it's Gallente.

The assault ships should all have 4.5 weapon slots (4 bonused weapons and one utility high with alternate hardpoint available), and heavy assault should have 5.5 weapon slots. Or maybe 5 and 6 isn't too much. I haven't done the math on em but I''m thinking they should have more total weapon space than comparable tech 1 ships but lacking the drone bay to make up for it. Probably also good if they have no auxiliary weapons.

This!

Sure Amarr and Gallente are the "Drone Race" but why do have so many Caldari and Minmatar ships so many drones?

I think we should consider if some ships especialy Cruiser should only be able to use 3 drones at once, at the Moment all ships are like no drones or 5 small drones.

I really like my 3 salvager drones on my Maller btw. sure 5 would be cool but its a nice example how many drones we really need anyway.

Edit: And BTW. i also think reducing the average amount of drones from cruiser (ofc not drone boats) would benefit the whole gameplay.

Because it would buff Frigs even more and would give the task to kill them to dedicated drone boats, EWar ships and Destroyers/other Frigs!

The suckiest of them all are lasers though...

i didn't try to say about Zealot but in my opinion . Amarr is Laser/Drone and live far than other race. and Many of Amarrian lack of drone bay and bandwidth (it's even less than Mimmi) . and Minmi have many type of ammunition that can change game in pvp if they know what resist enemy lack , and look at Amarrian and Gallette both two have stick on 2 damage type . and both use capacitor . and so Mimmi is the race that lack technology but it's have Drone capacity that Amarrian.
