Geckos are unchanged. Like Ralph said, maybe the boat is the issue. There's more of them on the market due to them being drops from the Guristas Event sites from earlier this year. So they are a little cheaper.

The only other thing worth mentioning is that tracking speed is no longer measured and displayed the way it use to be; now it's called Accuracy Score and Weapon Signature Resolution has been elevated to 40K for all weapons that have one so as to make comparisons more uniform and consistent. Although, come to think of it, I think drones kept their old sig resolutions, so the actual number used for the Accuracy Score should be the same as it's old Tracking Speed.

Stats are also flimsy when it comes to drones, they only show up with proper regard to skill and mods and the such when viewing their stats while undocked and they are IN the drone bay.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

It's a right move since a single heavy drone costs same as battlecruiser. It's a no-no.

The thing IS a battlecruiser when you use it with a Rattlesnake.

I'd consider flying something other than the Ishtar.

I blame that entirely on a man named Jack Daniels

I'm still waiting for you to risk leaving HS to try and kill me, BTW. You haven't been much fun lately

OP, check your Ishtar - they undergo an automatic nerf as soon as they're boarded by a pie-eyed loudmouth

You were never fun. Embarrassing maybe, but never fun. But then if I were to be (not found) cowering in nonspecific wormhole systems, I'd be pretty smug too.

Also, considering how many ships you've lost to NPCs in the last month, I suggest you learn how to battle them effectively before tackling players? Seems wise.
