For pvp, Gallante is bad despite paper dps. No player fit will have a heat hole, but many will have em/exp hole.


Actually with a lot of PVP shield fits plugging the EM hole thermal is often the lowest resist.




^ This

Also in pvp speed often means DPS...your Hammerheads are great but slow as hell...while they burn from ship to ship a set of Valkyries or even Vespas could already be at the target and get an extra shot or two off...

I have atualy started using Caldari Drones in pvp, they are a middle ground between Minnie speed and Gal DPS...and they are half the price!


^ This. I usually use Gallente when I know the target is going to be scrammed/webbed, Minmatar (particularly Warrior IIs) when I suspect fast tackle, or a gaping explosive resist hole, and Caldari otherwise

Also, remember ECM drones. They are oh-so-useful.

This! I can't believe we've left these out of the discussion so far. They're so overpowered that they're arguably the best medium drones to carry (!) - especially if you're roaming solo.

Nerf ECM drones! Big smile

My favorite is something like the Thorax with high damage anyway, sporting a flight of EC-600s. Not only do you melt their face off, but they can't do anything about it. Big smile
