This stance seems extremely out of line with current realities. We have 2 examples of problematic drone usage across a couple dozen ships that use them as a main weapon. The ishtar being an issue in no way supports the conclusion that drone primary ships are an issue. It actually argues against that conclusion since it stands out so strongly even among it's drone cruiser peers.

If anything the whole issue could likely be solved by a cruiser drone band nerf to anything with 125mbit.


Fine Ishtar is a special case in that regard yes. But drones perform still significantly well being able to hit both big and small targets while kiting without targeting with dynamic damage type. For example small t1 drone ships burst damage very well. Making them very versatile in comparison to any turret boat.

All weapons hit big and small targets given the right scenario. On the other hand you want to eliminate the system that can't kite and swap damage at the same time on top of being destructible and the system that can't take advantage of near 0 angular velocity moving targets.
