Gday all.

I'm just hoping to get to get my feeling across to make the Stratios a great drone bout.

The slot layout at the moment is 5H, 5M and 5L.
What I'm hoping that CCP might go for is a Slot Layout of 5H , 4M and 6L instead.

You can still use the data and relic stuff on the mids as normal.
With 6L you can put a decent buffer tank that uses the strength of the 4% armour Resist bonus and maintain a good DPS as a drone boat.

I just believe 5 mids on a armour bonus ship is a waste of a mid slot for a fitting options.

You don't need to change any stats to make this idea work.

I'm hoping to get you fine Ladies and Gents opinions on this idea.

I look forward to reading them.

Kind Regards

The stratios is already a perfectly competent drone boat. It is not intended to be a heavy combat ship. But it is still quite capable at it. Don't need to fix what ain't broken.

While I'm actually with you on this, Bjorn has the right of it.

Actually, the stratios is one of the best thought out boats for a long time, the DDA and drone tracking nerfs to balance the ishtar did reduce its capabilities somewhat, the only request I would have would be to give it Back the fifth heavy drone/sentry, but that would go too far for some fitting choices.

Overall, leave it where it is, It is still one of the most desireable cruisers in the game, suitable for many roles and functions, without dominating any one.
