According to you nothing requires evidence, or does that only apply to you?

That evidence requires evidence.
woopsy, sorry wrong toon.
You should give turreted ships a chance.
This tactic does not work in even low skill, high sec anoms. The change has drones being primary targets. For drone ships this is a problem. Yes, he could switch to gun or missile ships, but that eliminates a good portion of the ships in game. I took the time to check out the OPâs concerns, They are valid.
As for the smartasses in this thread, take your PVE gun ship and let the AI target your guns. Make those players offline them to stop the damage. Somehow, I donât think you would find that much fun either.

You seem angry. Do you need a hug?
AhâŚexceptâŚIâve done itâŚand so have many others. Not in hisec, though, so perhaps those are more difficult.
It works just fine in hisec anoms, if you know what youâre doing; Iâm a mass murderer of NPCâs and havenât lost a drone in years.
Spawn and drone management are key.
you mispelled âhavenât done a forlorn in yearsâ.
YMMV.
iâm currently flying marauders (note the âsâ).
but still, marauders is not drone shipsâŚ
drone ships should be like âsummoner classâ in other mmorpg.
and in most summoner class in mmorpg⌠they are king of pve.
Drone ships work just fine. Stop trying to afk everything. Summoner class are not king of PVE in many other games. It would be noce to have a maruder class drone boat, but you shouldnât be able to afk everything you see. Stop being lazy.
You can fit armor reps to the highs to rep your dronesâŚ
Just in case you missed it STOP BEING LAZY.
ok OP you have mentioned the word âsummonerâ several times nowâŚ
This is not WoW
This is not Rift
This is not FInal fantasy
This is not Elder SCrolls
This is not a medieval fantasy trope style game at ALL!!!
If you want to go play those games then go play themâŚ
OTHERWISE STFU YOU PANSY F-ING CAREBEAR!!

First the assumption, I donât know what Iâm doing is funny. Iâve played the game since 2004 and drone aggro has never been this bad. That is what happens when assumptions are made. Just doing regular anoms in high sec resulted in mass micro-management of the drones; constantly pulling in one or two and then relaunching them. Every single drone in a flight of five was damaged, just as the OP mentioned. Just because you use a oversized afterburner/warp drive to make your sig larger, doesnât make you a PVE icon. This wouldnât be the first time CCP has screwed up drone aggro and it will probably not be the last. Iâm guessing the change was made to stunt null ratters who spend all day afk. That would not be a first either.

Got to enjoy all of the smack talk, instead of a solution. Mind, some of the voices have expressed discontent that NPCs switch to new intruders up to mischief. No one gets to have cake and eat it, after all.
If you have not already which to the Domi, and Sentry Drones. With the use of a Large Micro Jump Drive to instant kite 100km away from the NPC. Using Wardens or Bouncers, you fit for Drone Damage Amplifiers, minimum tank, Sensor Boosters with Range Scripts. Drone Augumentors and some small RR complete the highs. Omnis in the mids with a LMJD.
So, no its not release the hounds, and go for a sandwich. And never should have been. But drones work perfectly fine in L4. Because it still has a flavor of 2003 AI which just slow-boat into the playerâs weapons. Instead of warp positioning on top of the player, aggressive ewar and capacitor-attack and RR. Because there has to be retention of the 3 year arc segment of the player-base that thinks this is âlevel the ravenâ online.
No stone left un-turned, no talk left un-smacked.
The whole point of using an oversized afterburner is that you go nearly as fast as with a normal sized mwd, but it doesnât make your sig larger.
It does make you manoeuvre like a supertanker though.

But but but that takes effort and some understanding. Thatâs not what these folks are after, they want zero effort safe afk grinding and in this day and age they deserve it.
Wait no, theyâre lazy clowns who shouldnât been given the time of day, let alone an active thread with serious replies.
L2P.
I did a forlorn (I guess itâs refuge ?) 1 week ago. With all skills to 5 in drones, I lost one drone without realizing it in one of the 3 elite waves. I have 5, then I have 4. All the rats yellowed me at once. The lesson is very simple : donât use drones in forlorn. Because in those anoms, drones are not viable.
No, that takes a constant observation on the drones window, the need to keep your drones close to you to be able to recall them when they are webbed in the case they donât die instantly.
And since most drone ships should also use turrets, that means you canât place yourself correctly to shoot the target.
In the end, thatâs an auxiliary weapon system that requires all you attention.
So yes, you can choose to use sentries, get at range, and only release the medium/heavy drones once the frigates are all dead. Which means that non-sentry user are at a loss.

Part of learning to play is knowing which tools to use for which job. I donât use a drone boat for stuff I know chews drones up; unlike the OP who insists on using drones in places that he shouldnât.

Thank you for agreeing with the OP, that drone hate made drone boats not viable in some activities.
No, he insists that he should.
L2R.
But until now you were just trolling by making complete off-topic points regarding the viability of the drones, or strawmen like you just did.
Iâm glad that we reached an agreement point though. Even if it took you days to understand what the OP was actually expressing in the first post, knowing the usual trolls here I guess I should be glad it did not take several months for just a simple basic understanding.
And now, before you answer me that this point is wrong, I will remind you that I already said I donât agree with that point. The difference between me and you, is that I am not trying to troll the OP.
