Yeah, drone management is something that's proven to be a fairly expensive hassle so far for me. They work pretty well when I have aggro on a BC but when things are spawning frequently (which happens a lot when you're running 3 BCs ) I end up with some strange aggro swapping going on when I have to pull in drones and relaunch. I'd rather be able to just target cruisers+ with the BCs and let them pound away while mopping up the light craft with a direct-fire ship.

So I got to poking around a bit in the Amarr ships. A laser coercer seems like a good starting point and I'll have the training done for it in a few hours. After that, a Harbinger fit for anti-frigate (pulse-laser) support looks like the best fit for my group.
