Son, those are eras. Try and keep up. Missiles vs projectiles v5.0 coming right up!
After updating the hangars in the citadels, my fps dipped, is CCP thinking about doing optimization?

move to another ship til you can use the immaculate Paladin.
Iâll keep up with you continually being wrong.
You conveniently left out the Ferox, Rail Proteus, Ishtar and Sentry Carrier (Slowcat) âerasâ. The Tengu meta also did not involve missile Tenguâs, it was sneaky pete tenguâs which used railguns and a tiny sig + ECCM so they couldnât be combat probed. The Eagle was also quite popular which is not a missile or projectile platform. Paladins are now also slowly inching their way into the meta.
So stop acting like the meta is only projectiles and missiles and step outside your nullsec F1 warrior perspective of flying only what the FC tells you to. Lasers are fine and people use them all the time. The main change that needs to happen is a meta shift from T2 minmatar, which is literally happening but youâre too blind to see it.

I fully understand and sympathize with what youâre saying. Iâve been a Capsuleer for over 14 years and the only thing I can say is - best get use to that happening on a regular basis.
As for your current issue, just set up another ship. Actually itâs better to have a few different ships already set up, ready and waiting for use when needed.

But didnât you say that lasers were worthless?
Why would you advocate for the Paladin if lasers are so bad?
Shouldnât you be advocating for the Golem?

Logging on this morning, the Drone Control Bandwidth on my ordinary Gallente Frigate Explorer Imicus has been halved from 20 Mbit/sec to only 10 Mbit/sec. This only allows two (2) active drones vice the previous four (4). Some of us have experimented with fitting and using various ships against type. This change restricts versitility and innovation and limits ship hulls in their role. Iâm really hopping this was an accident and not intentional. I understand that this change would apply to the NAVY Imicus, but didnât think you would gut the capability of the regular Imicus. If so, you just made it next to useless for anything but exploring. Gallente are supposed to be combat drone focused. Why did I train my drone skills so high only to have this ship hulls drone combat strength reduced to that of the starter newby corvette?
Checking the attributes and simulating still shows 20 bandwidth for the T1 imicus. Did you by chance lose skills? Could also be a weird bug, try docking/redocking to force a session change and check if your drones return.
Otherwise, if it still isnât working, submit a bug report using the F12 option. The T1 imicus should still have 20Mbit/sec, it shouldnât have changed (Even the Navy Imicus has 20Mbit/sec).
Another possibility: Have you perhaps fitted a warp core stabilizer on your Imicus?

That is probably it hahaha, no run away tactic goes unpunished.
ah good catch
Agreed, Iâm also going to point out here that tracking disruptors are far from useless especially when your opponents are using triglavian ships. Tracking disruption by far is one of the better/reliable ewar tools due to the nature of disintgrators. Itâs absolutely vital if youâre trying to keep a Kiki from controlling range.

I guess a laser is photonâs maybe its another type of energy beam, not sure on the lore.
