Five drones for a nerfed Gila - lol, NO!
Sure, Gila is a bit stroner ship compared to other similar class vessels (means Faction and T2 Cruisers) and requires a rebalance but not a huge nerf. For a Faction type Cruiser it should be able to apply around 600 DPS. A Faction combat Cruiser with under 550 DPS is broken as a faction one with over 750 DPS.
The problem of current Gila’s nerf is based on the idea that it should affect Gila’s usage in Abyss sites only. A nerfed Gila will have a big issue - it will remain very strong for Abyss T1-T3 sites and other low level Combat Anomalies while will become completely broken and useless for other T4 and high-grade Combat sites (like DED 5/10 and above). Just go and check it, with current 500% buff, in any DED 5/10 or other low- and null-sec Combat Signatures, where are like 12 Frigates, 10 Cruisers and 7 BC at least with some elite beings between them. Gila’s drones have high aggro. Same for almost all LVL4 missions. I don’t believe that a nerfed Gila, even blinged, will be able to perform the T5 Abyssal sites effectively/even, because we can bling the ship, but not the Drones. The T4 or T5 Abyss pockets with Grips Rogue Drones will shrekt your drones very effective and you will just sit there by juggling your drones, reload your uneffective Rapid Launchers, again and again by losing DPS and time until dead end. It makes the content not hard , - but impossible. Just look or remember the Ishtar’s performance there. Gila will have the same or even worse performance, because Ishtar allows to juggle drones without huge lose into dps.
I made a suggestion how to rebalance the Gila in another thread:
