Meaning that Warriors are only valuable against fast frigates but rarely useful for frigates to use due to low DPS output. Speed is only important from fights that start at distance or happen at very high speeds. Tracking from light drones should rarely be an issue so we can mostly disregard that. Should you be expecting a Frigate Vs Frigate fight, you have a clear incentive to use the highest DPS Drone, which is the Hobgoblin. Which means we can make some assumptions about which ones are the best. Light Drones are most commonly used by and against Frigates. The actual numbers will be better but since they will vary by pilot I decided to stick to base numbers. To help clarify this I've done some spreadsheet work to highlight the Differences and make the choices easier for EVE Pilots.Īll stats are Base Stats, which means this is before any skill based bonus or ship bonuses. That's a very situational question that changes based on the ship you are using and the targets you anticipate fighting. Some important problems I've noticed from my fights are that people choose to kill your drones about 50% of the time and that medium and heavy Gallente Drones will not track some frigates even if you have them webbed.īased on this I've varied my drone load to maximize tracking on Heavy and Medium Drones while seeking better HP overall to waste the time of my opponents. Because it's a Drone Boat, getting drones right is absolutely crucial. Over the last month I have been flying the Myrmidon almost exclusively in preparation for a new guide. Doing the wrong damage type can cost you a fight, drones that can't catch a target are useless, and even drones can have tracking problems. While this advice is simplistic, it does capture some important information and in many cases is the acceptable advice.īut as we all know EVE Online is a highly situational game. When it comes to drones the standard advice has been to just use Gallente Drones for high damage unless you need fast drones then use Warriors or maybe Valkyries. I my self have told people on countless occasions to default to Thermal Damage when you can't choose based on target.īut where did these standards come from? Are the even correct? In EVE most people like to follow general advice about fitting, damage types, drones, and many other things.
