o/,

was watching some old titan and dread videos and noticed some had drone bays? I searched around and found some did and was wondering the exact bandwidth and drone capacity different dreads/titans had?

thanks!

As mentioned above - the Moros used to be the best non-carrier ship for point defense against sub caps due to its ability to field flights of heavy drones.

In fact the line in it's description "By virtue of its protean array of point defense capabilities" is a antiquated reference of that ability.

Back in the day...

- Dreads and Titans ALL used to have 125 mbit bandwidth and minimum 250 m3 of drone bay space.

- The Moros used to special in that it had as much drone bay space as a Dominix (375 m3) and a 20% per level bonus to drone HP/damage (rather than its rate of fire bonus).

- Supercarriers could use regular drones like a carrier can.


Then CCP decided that fleets were becoming to homogenous and took away Dread, Titans, and Supercarrier abilities to field drones... to force them to rely on carrier or subcapital support for defense.

How did you Veterans start?

Patch Notes For Crucible

Patch Notes For Crucible wrote:
Ships

* Supercarrier drone bays can only hold fighters and fighter bombers. All supercarrier pilots have been sent an EVE mail with instructions from Customer Support on how to prepare for the changes.
* The drone capacity of the Aeon, Revenant and Wyvern has been reduced to 150000 m3. This will allow for a maximum of 30 fighters or fighter bombers.
* The drone capacity of the Hel and Nyx has been reduced to 175000 m3. This will allow for a maximum of 35 fighters or fighter bombers.
* Drone bays have now been removed from all Dreadnoughts.
* Drone bays have now been removed from all Titans.
* The Moros will now receive a 5% capital hybrid turret rate of fire bonus in place of its drone bonus.

Modules

* Siege module I have received a damage boost to compensate for lost drones. The damage multiplier bonus has been increased from 615% to 700%.

Science & Industry

Due to the removal of drone bays from Titans and Dreadnaughts, we have changed the blueprint requirements across all capital ships as follows:

* Capital drone bay has been removed from the material requirements of Titans and Dreadnoughts. The material requirement of the remaining components has been increased.
* Capital drone bay material requirements have been increased on all supercarriers and carriers.
* Ratios used are for every 100 components removed from a Titan, 25 is added to the requirement of the same races supercarrier and vice versa for components added.
* For each five components removed on a dreadnought, one is added to the requirement of the same races carrier and vice versa for components added.
