We generally use spider domies but due to the fact that most ppl have low drone skills the average drone dps is 250 from heavies/sentries. So there is an idea to try guns and this is what I came up with. Didn't try this yet but I want to know if it is viable or horrible.

Average gun dps 400, lowest resists are 70%. Math wise two RARS are needed to tank which leads us to at least 3 ships. That is why I am hesitant to commission them solely for the sake of experiment.

Looks like it could work. One light of light drones is not enough to kill the frigs, but several flight should do it no problem.

Yes, most of the time one RAR is enough, but you need a few cycles of two to pull through new spawns.

Large rail tracking is pretty bad, even with tracking speed scripts compared to Gardes, so you might not make that much more damage in the end.

Yeah at least get tech2 rails so you you use Jav ammo with its tracking boost.

I have never ratted a C3 and whatsitsname but if you feel the tank is marginal you have more options.

1) Each mega can have 1 flight of med rep drones in addition to the lights.

2) If your numbers are right and if there is no huge difference in the actual v applied dps then dropping a gun for another rep would still leave you winning.

How would you manage cap? Especially since c3 rats neut quite a lot both RR, hardeners and guns would turn off quite often.
I prefer ships with 2 spare highs for this, shield transport + energy transfer cap chain ravens and tempest are really nice.
