Okay, I know the recent changes made to the drone bandwidth in Rubicon were supposed to "balance" these ships, but reducing the bandwidth on the Paladin so it can't even field 5 medium drones has seriously hurt it. Now with no way to destroy medium sized targets that get under it's guns I am forced to put a MJD on it. I really hate being forced to put a module on something in order to be able to kill 1 ship type. Please restore the drone bandwidth.

I too, really hate it when someone takes advantage of my battleships weaknesses by using a small ship to get under my guns. CCP needs to make it so my large guns can track cruisers and frigates at 3000 meters or they are going to lose x subscriptions. Grr goons.

A paladin with Mega Pulse IIs (imperial multifrequency ammo) with at least two tracking computers scripted with tracking enhancers would have 0.0691 tracking within 25km optimal. If you add another scripted tracking computer you could raise that up to 0.081. You should have no problem handling ships within that range.

You could learn to position yourself via MWD pulsing before you engage anything or just try to pick off the smaller ships before they get "under your gun" range.

Marauders are so freaking OP versus PVE right now its not even funny. Stop being bad.

They could bludgeon marauders with the nerf bat till it stops moving and they would still be OP. Like ^ he said.

if something like that really got under your guns you can sit there and complain about it all day till your light drones kill it... honestly the number of times this has happened to me so far has been ZERO

OMG seriously, the paladin is just super rofflecopterwtfbbq vs npcs

Currently flying the Paladin for PvE right now and I can just say that I've never had issues with blapping everything off the field. Using 2 TCs on it and I rarely ever remove the tracking script and it works just fine even when I shoot angels.

If you really feel like cruisers are an issue then fit a web to be honest...

Fit taceons and mjd you be fine or bad

The only major drawback is the crazed notion that the inventory would look so much better if merely rearranged ONE MORE TIME.

I fly a Paladin and have no trouble killing medium targets at all.
I use two Tracking Computers ii with tracking scripts while using Navy Multifrequence crystals.

Besides, what are you shooting at when you enter the field? Hopefully not the Battleships....

When entering the field focus fire (if far away enough) on frigates --> Cruisers --> BC's --> BS's

Medium drones on a pally, no trolling?

Yeah, you want lights. There's no way you should need anything else. Im getting 1200+DPS and insane tracking at < 25k and 900 DPS with scorch.

are serious business sir.
