High slot drone bandwidth increase

It’s better to look at player behaviour or choices because we will naturally gravitate towards the most effective tools. And in that regard it’s pretty clear that there is nothing wrong with the strength of drones or drone ships since they are very popular.

That’s an appeal to popularity.
Just because many people use the drone boats, does not mean they are actually better. The thing is, the gila is better (and the rattle), but that’s for several reasons.

• need few skills to be effective (compared to other ships)
• good application
• very good tank.

Basically, the usual issues with drone boats (delayed damage, need to get close to reduce that delayed damage, can be defanged, type locked) are ignored and instead the ships are boosted in terms of DPS.

Gilas are still very bad compared to other cruisers, I guess in abyss they are better though.

Ok we’re saying it’s op, but comparing to the nightmare, which can have upwards of 1k dps on guns and an additional 400 in drones, would it really hurt that badly to allow drone dps to go above 1k?

rattler can go 1.4k DPS.

edit : IIRC, long time I did not use one.

edit : OMFG 1800 DPS with rage torps.
and 2060 with faction mods and aug ogres.
2100with dread guristas torps.

So what, drone boats can’t reach 1k DPS ?
