GILA Drone Stack HP Now Inferior to All Other Drone Boats Before NERF - Gila Drone Stack HP 2 + 500% = 12 After NERF - Gila Drone Stack HP 2 + 250% = 7 Other Drone Boats Stack HP 5 + 50% = 7.5 (excuse me for my bad english) ---

Thanks for letting us know. I had threads locked for better posts than this. A few times I’ve tried getting around that by adding a “Discuss!” at the end, but they saw through that one pretty quickly. So instead I started writing my posts more in ways that allow people to talk about things and … you know what? That actually worked! ---

So you are saying that even after the recent nerf the Gila drones are still much more resistant to area-of-effect damage and should be nerfed to the 50% bonus that standard drone bonused ships provide? ---

Nah, apparently the effort of making that post in English was so mentally exhausting that the OP didn’t have it in him anymore to actually present an argument. I assume stack HP is the total HP of a flight of drones. I was just pointing out that individually Gila drones are still stronger than regular drones. ---

Just remember that no other droneship can carry as many full flights of drones as the Gila can. ---

You can give the Gila back it’s five drones now. The reason it had three removed is because two were overpowered. Now that you nerfed the two, I see no reason why the gila shouldn’t get five drones back. ---

CCP changes game stats so that there is less afk behavior and botting due to having to actively manage your drones for drone survivability and certain people get angry…go figure. ---

They are still much more resistant vs smartbombs or AoE than other drones. Only if someone is shooting the drones one by one do they have less HP. ---

Anyone that has flown the Gila can fully admit that it’s drones had absolutely silly tanking capabilities. The Gila still has the tank of a battleship and the drones kept their damage output. It was a good compromise and makes abyssal with them not a complete faceroll. ---
