I hate sentry drones and what they did to all other doctrines.
But at the same time i really appreciate the ability to do some AFK grind.

We have lasers and T1 ammo , but we have also tons of people that can use drones.

So why pirate factions cannot introduce their own sentry drones.
- Angel Bouncers
- Sansha Curators
- Guristas Wardens
- Serpentis Gardens

Each drone is available on specific LP store :
Fixed price for each :
- 10mil ISK
- 5.000 LP

( base rule - better isk than LP sink)

Now the drone stats ( when compared to the T2 version )

* Tracking Speed -50%
* Optimal Range +15%
* Damage +50%
* EHP +25%

Yes Rattlesnake will be having big dps - but this DPS will be hard to apply to something moving.
We are getting finally anti drone EWAR and rattlesnakes will be easy targets as they only control 2 drones.

Stop discrimination, help in a fight against terrorists

Stopped taking this in any way seriously right there.

If there were to be pirate faction sentry drones it would be 'Integrated' and 'Augmented' drones.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Not supported. I don't care what they cost, 50% more DPS out of sentry drones is way too big a bonus.

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

like we need sentries on steroids.. they are bad enough already at T1 nevermind pirate versions.. they are getting nerfed for a reason

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Anthar, I wouldn't have expected you to post something as foolish as this.

Way too powerful, especially until
A: anti-drone ECM is actually rolled out in an official manner and a release date set.
B: Ishtars stop obsoleting anything else using sentries.

Flying crazier,

And drinking more

those kind of stats would be ridiculously overpowered, -50% tracking in no way can justify the other bonuses as tracking ceases to matter much as the kind of ranges sentries are used at. A 10% general bonus over t2s I could see working but 50% is just game breaking.
