Hello all, I want to know your thoughts and experiences with this. I know there are over 9,000 ways to do wormhole sites that are more effective than using drones, BUT, until can arse myself to train the skills...

I have found that sentry drones are far more survivable than light drones in wh space. In fact I have never lost a sentry drone in wh space and rarely have to recall them. But they don't have good enough tracking to hit the frigates and >10 km. is there any reasonable way to get sentries (garde II's) to hit those little buggers? 

I've tried a webber so far and am debating whether or not moving to 2 webbers and/or two omni's is a reasonable course of action. Any thoughts on this or should I just suffer through microing light drones until I can train skills for a t3 ships or something else? These are c1 and c2 wh's by the way.

Two webs and two omnis and you'll drop sleeper frigs inside 10 km in a sensible timeframe.

I want to get a t2 cloak on there, just didn't have the money to at first when I came back after no playing for a few months (now I do, wh sites ftw)

I am also researching for t2 webber, which will be done by tomorrow.

Er... I of course meant training for t2 webber, not researching. Haha. Been playing too much Starcraft.
