Drones dont make any sense on these ships. Gallente and Amarr are the drone races, not Caldari or Minmatar. I do appreciate the out of the box thinking though. Its just not a good fit for this pirate ship line.

I saw an interesting idea (cant remember where) where the ships bonuses would greatly increase a missiles velocity, but severely reduce its flight time. This would keep the ranges the same, but make missile damage apply instantly. Itd be interesting to see a line of ships built around that concept

Correction: Drone bonuses don't make any sense, but if these ships aren't going to have any drones at all I would expect a raw damage boost at the very least to make up for not having drones.

Edit: The reasoning is that Machariels and Vindi's don't have bonused drones but they still benefit from drone damage, if these ships had no drones at all I would expect to be compensated for that lack of dps.

Nope… Let the missile bonuses apply to all launcher types (like the Rattlesnake). I'd rather have no drones and an extra 100-200m3 in cargo space.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

I was referring to bonuses to drones (ewar and logi). Obviously the cruisers and battleships would need drones of some kind.

I quite disagree there, the entire Megathron line is focused purely on Blasters and armour tanking, yet nobody complains how Vindicator is making normal or Navy Mega obsolete....of course you might say that the web bonus is what makes it unique, but that's also why I would like a Target Panting bonus on a Mordu Battleship, to make it more different from (Navy) Raven.


You're right, it is the web bonus that makes Serpentis special. But - would a painter bonus be as powerful and as useful as that web bonus? I doubt it. Now, a web range bonus, that might be fun...

The blood raiders have a web range bonus, so I doubt we'll see that.
