    Not that it really matters in the least bit.

    With every single weapons system in the game, you have a state change button - 0 or 1, on or off.
    This requires every single one of your accounts weapons to be perfectly in sync, and you cannot reliably swap them rapidly in PVP(I'm incredibly pvp focused, fuck PVE beyond paying for PVP).

    Drones are different - you have an "engage" button and a "disengage/return" button. No matter how many accounts you have or where/what they are doing, if you press "engage drones" every single one of those accounts will have their drones start attacking your chosen target.

    No other weapons system in the game has this option. For PVP and PVE alike, if you aren't F1 spamming and killing soft targets with instant volleys, you are losing dps to unsynced weapons, or needing to manually toggle weapons.

    Drones, regardless of drone assist being nerfed, or even getting a soft nerf to dps or application will ALWAYS be a preferred weapon system for multiboxers to use.

    Second imo, would be lasers, due to no/large clip size.

    Anyone hurf blurfing it up over sentries being nerfed and therefore being a bad idea to use isn't really thinking things over, or is ignorant.

    Sentries are also useful on literally every shiptype as you train more stuff, and have a strong fleet platform they can be used on for nearly every situation or budget:

    Ishtar(cruiser, shield/armor, absurd projection/application), Gila(cruiser, shield, heavy tank), Dominix(BS, armor/shield, cheap, strong projection/application), Rattlesnake(BS, shield, absurd tank), Stratios(cruiser, armor/shield, covops cloaky), Vexor Navy(cruiser, armor/shield, decent tank/cheap), Prophecy(BC, armor, solid tank, cheap), Myrmidon(BC, armor/shield, cheap), Domi Navy(BS, armor/shield, solid tank), Archon(carrier, armor, supertanked), Rorqual(capital, shield, comedy, dps).

    tl;dr - Train sentries, they are good - no matter what happens.

    20% bonus to drone damage and hitpoints per level.

    Not sure what CCP was thinking when they gave the freakin Rorqual that bonus but it's a great comedy pvp ship.

    boxers don't require drone assist if you're using mouse broadcasting. fleet warp either.
    I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A bird will fall frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.

    CMKCot where are you getting this info since I have seen nothing about fleet warp or drone assist on any official channel or otherwise?

    Personally, I wouldn't overlook training one guy into a Noctis for salvage. Not sure how much the "target lock switching" change has affected that but having a good salvage ship along made me a LOT more money back when I was playing.

    The new mobile tractor units are great for salvaging and jet can mining.
