One Gecko for giggles and one flight of light drones for work. Then again, a pair of sentry drones would probably work better, at least in PvE. Sovereignty and Population New Mining Mechanics

For me, it's the other way around, since I've never gotten the hang of using sentry drones. I tend to move too much and have to fly back to them every time I want to send them back into the drone bay. Sometimes I even completely forget those things can't move, so I just sit there and wait for them to come back. And then the rats blast them apart while I'm a hundred km away. It's a disgrace.

Heavy drones + navigation computer for faster movement works a lot better for me. Plus my drone ships carry a few medium armor drones, just in case the drones get a bit scratched inbetween pockets.

Put two of them on a Stratios and you never have to think about what drone is best against what rat ever again. Ideal for exploration using wormholes: Regardless of what region you find yourself in, your rats are always the optimal ones. This leaves a lot of space for utility drones, like ECM and armor rep drones.

It has the Firefly (fighter) as a variation. The stats appear to be a mix of fighter and heavy drone (more heavy drone than fighter though.)

The stats on it are obnoxious (32 damage of all 4 damage types (that's 4x32) plus a 2.05 damage modifier. Max velocity of 1,820 m/s, 1,010 shield HP, 0.53 tracking... edit: Volume of 50m^3.

Either it's a work in progress/place holder, or CCP has lost their minds. Hopefully it's the latter.

I too would hope that CCP has lost their minds.

Whose minds they lost... Who knows?

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Official announcement regarding them.

http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/eve-online-news/happy-anniversary-eve-is-11-today/

Not saying how we will get the new ones aside from "community event", nor in what form, but apparently 8 more.

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Best Meltdown Ever.

How did you get them yesterday?

Because EVE is in different time zones.

I got mine yesterday as well. They were released on 0001 EVE time, it's about 14 hours past that at this point.
