Alright. The idea originated with how I like the versatility of the Typhoon, and somewhat of it's fail. The most fun I did have with it was focusing on one of the two weapon types, using spare slots to enhance drones. With changes to drones, etc coming out, this will present new options and something different for frig/dessie users as they train up.

So, T1 destroyer drones. What does this offer? First it is a light and high speed drone boat more than anything. Faster than the drone cruisers, but still fragile like a destroyer.

Bonuses: They get their weapon bonus to the drones naturally. Second would be the faction bonus. Gallente bonus to drone, Amarr and caldari defensive bonus, minmatar to speed. Not sure if maybe there should be a role bonus for the drones and add a primary weapon bonus for first skill bonus.

Fitting: 8 highslots, but 5/6 fitting hardpoints. The rest utility usage for whatever. DLA, neuts whichever. Drone bay of course and bandwidth to make use. Probably mediums should be acceptable?

Role: Droneship usage is already known, deploy and evade. They are cool ships and really there isn't something for this role aside from the vexor. It doesn't have the speed.

To quote Lfod Shi

The ratting itself is PvE. Getting away with it is PvP.
