I have written a nice, short but straight-to-the-point report about you, OP.

I found Medium Drones a bit disappointing and I've been advised to stick with light drones but I like to put my own spin on advice rather than just become a parrot.

With any luck soon no one will be able to read your posts.

To answer your vague question with a vague answer, it depends. They are slow and have poor tracking so they will have trouble catching and applying damage to fast moving frigates. Against larger targets they are great, though you still need to factor in the travel time.

I am honestly surprised that the ISDs or GMs haven't put a gag on him.

I could be wrong, perhaps that setting doesn't exist, what is a broadcast log ?

Although if you do answer that I would put the chances of this thread getting locked up by about 75% but anyway.

They are just crazy on drone-reduced ships like the Rattlesnake.

there are a ton if it depends, I mean due to mechanics heavies can hit better than mediums in some cases. other times you absolutely want lights.

and as Tau said Geckos, which are just crazy.

Too bad you don't know how settings work obviously.

Blocking someone in game has no effect on the forums
Blocking someone on the forum means you can't see THEIR post, not the other way around.


But for some reason, I think soon this will all change as nobody will see your post as you lack the ability to do it.

All your post are locked or will be locked for reasons, I'm still amazed how slow CCP is with their banhammer.

Are they a super heavy class or just faction version of the heavy ? I would guess that there is probably a different version for each faction that follow the typical traits of their favourite drone.

What is a drone reduced ship ?

Have you considered saving a draft version of that, it would save you so much time typing repetitive replies to my threads ?

I would like to remind people that responding to deliberate trolls who keep throwing bait at you
might eventually get you banned too. When you are several times being hinted at the fact that
you are being trolled and manipulated ... and you still continue to eat the bait ...

... then there's good reason to believe that you are deliberately replying ...
... and deliberately try to increase the toxicity of the forum's atmosphere.


Remember that trolls bait the ego. They do a lot to make you feel like you are the smarter one,
so you completely block out the fact that you're actually the idiot who keeps eating the bait.

It's the weakest minds who are baited the easiest ... because the weakest minds are those
who constantly want to "show the troll that he is a fool", while all it achieves is exactly what the troll wants.


Just like this guy does on a pretty much daily basis.



We can only hope that CCP realises that there is a need for adapting the rules to those
who keep responding to bait, because they are the actual reason why trolls can be around.


It's EVE logic.
If there were no scam-victims, there would be no scammers.
If there were no troll-victims, then they would be no trolls.


The forums, though, aren't ingame.
The forums throw a bad image onto all of us, including CCP.



Thank you for your consideration and may you, who ever reads this,
not be banned for continuously showing weak mindedness by constantly eating the bait.



Petitions are in the working.

I've stopped reporting these posts, I'm sure the moderators are aware and don't need me to keep pestering them and quoting forum rules, so you just carry on ranting off topic with unsubstantiated claims about forum members (Who coincidental your character or your forum buddy is at war with) and it might be all over by the time I post a question that needs to be here for more than a day or two.

I'll play. Seems like fun game.

Almost every ship, modual, rig, weapon in game is good. If used correctly.

A new player using a ship too big for their skills, using heavy drones to shoot frigs in a lv 1 mission is bad.

Me using faction heavies in my Rattlesnake is very good.

Name any item in game and the answer to "is it any good' and the answer is "depends", or "yes and no" or something like that.

A better question would get you better answers.

History is the study of change.
