Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Which part would be ridiculous? The part that already happened where AI eats drones as it's favorite snack despite laughable rumors that ewar and RR can influence agro? Or the part where the sentries would have near battleship HP?

Honestly, for the trade off of increased vulnerability to ewar I think the massive HP are appropriate. It's not like sentries are hard to hit, though they don't die instantly as is the same way lights and mediums do. Also, while the HP may rival that of a battleship, the resists certainly don't. The Superdrones of the Worm will be a serious contender even compared to a tanked Worm, the same on the Rattlesnake will not be true unless the bonus is much larger or they *finally* add T2 resists to the T2 drones. Supersentries will be good in PvE, I don't think they will fare nearly so well in PvP.

The main thing to consider here is will Ewar be persistant when you pull a drone into the bay. If I can shake an ECM cycle by recall and redeploy that reduces the problem a little, but could still be an issue because drones won't fire unless you lock and command them to, you fire on someone, or they start a new attack on you. When ECM'd drones often become useless these days because they have to be recalled so often, and when redeployed they just sit and stare at the world until you die.
