i am aksing myself what kind of drones you use really. myself i just come to teh conclusion tejh dronebay is somehow worthless.

Sitting in a falcon over 60km away means my drones will not reach the target due to controll range, having smartbombs fitted in the highs and using drones against other drones or ships near me kills my drones as well. having other ships already close to me i know i have done something wrong and will be toast anyway. so what kind of drones should I put into a falcon and how should I use them ?

Armor repair bots to fix people up when you're sitting at a safespot for GCCs to wear down?

EC-300s, for those times when you need even more RNG gtfo cards.

I'm serious. Works when you're too nueted to jam too. And it's hilarious when all your jams miss and the drones pull through on that tackle that snagged you.

it's a bit more useful than the falcon's damage bonus that's for sure.

Q: how long would 32dps take to chew a frig?

A: too long, and that's not counting with the frig blowing them up.

It's the same story for the Ashimmu (10m3) and the Phantasm (15m3).

Electronic Warfare drones are your best option.

2 ecm drones can save you from having to fit a 2nd ladar jammer since minmatar sensor are so bad haha!
