> [@Ember\_Rising](#): > > Due to how NPC aggression currently works, fitting an Auto Targeting System will also increase your drones’ chance to avoid catching aggro. Nicely written. I am curious about the above statement though. If this is related to drones being attracted to EWAR targets, I believe this was changed in early 2015 and is no longer applicable. Or is this some other mechanic that I’m not aware of? ---

Drone Agro is a funny thing. I have 2 Snakes that I run in C3s. 1 has been getting drone aggro constantly for the past 3-4 days, the other non at all. Both in there own site and both with the same fit . Only difference is that 1 has Meta 2 RHML and Drone spec 4 while the other has T2 and Spec 5. Who knows how it works. ---

I agree that drone aggro is completely mysterious. But that unpredictable behavior sometimes leads to questionable correlations and conclusions. Correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that the only thing that has been confirmed to influence drone aggro is the class of the NPC ship and drone size. Everything else seems to be highly speculative and lacking community consensus (which doesn’t make it wrong, but does make it unproven). On the other hand, I’m totally convinced that the shirt I wear impacts whether my sports team wins or not, so who am I to say? ---

I have found that a Medium Capacitor Battery is superior to cap rechargers, and you get the added benefit of having neut resistance. Replace the Acolytes with Warrior IIs for pvp defense if the opportunity presents itself. Mine have worked wonders on taking out an overly aggressive interceptor with no backup (or backup that was too distant). Omnidirectional Tracking Enhancers are completely unneeded, add more Drone Damage Amplifiers (even with stacking penalty). Don’t be afraid to add faction versions if you get them as loot. As you are speed tanking, fitting shield resist rigs is unneeded, and wasteful. Use the rigs to make yourself cap stable. Throw on a Medium Polycarbon engine housing for more speed and agility if you wish. ---

Nice guide, but I can’t endorse the use of MTUs and salvaging wrecks. Lookit, if you want salvage, go do ONE relic site. You will get more salvage from ONE can in a relic site than you will get from five minutes of managing wrecks in a combat anom. Salvage if you like it, but not for the loot. It’s a broken mechanic and huge waste of time. Bounties are what you do missions for, and loot if they are DED. ---

If I wanted to adapt this for WH I’m guessing I’d want mainly passive resist boosts due to the neuting pressure? Note I’m a Gila fan but like the look of the cheap VNI so would like to try a variant. ---

The whole point of this ship is speed tanking. If you are speed tanking you are not being hit so you don’t need any passive resist boosts. ---

Thanks for this guide! I made few modifications to the build, mainly adding a scanner so i can scan down combat sites. But alas! I have a problem, when orbiting something at 30KM while AB is on i still get hit ! Its not just missiles and i know missiles will hit me always since they work like that, but i get hits from other weapons too (rails). It brings my shield down sometimes complitely and i certainly cant AFK or go grab a water glass or anything while ratting in this. This happened at DED 3 site in Highsec. Is this happening to others too and the talks of AFK VNI are exaterated ? Is my probe scanner making my signature too big so i get hit because of it ?

> [@Vireys\_Karlissian](#): > > happened at DED 3 site DED complexes are different from nullsec anomalies and smaller guns will hit you much better than large ones. That Vexor Navy Issue is better at doing Hidden, Forlon or Forsaken, Hubs, Havens and Sanctums. ---
