![]() Yeah, but Caldari are not big drone users. Plus all battleships have options for using long range or short range weaponry and the Rokh is acknowledged as a compentent blaster boat, definitely short ranged. Every faction has a battleship that is considered a sniper for them: Apocalypse for Amarr, Tempest for Minmatar, Megathron for Gallente. The Rokh is a sniper thus doesn't require light drones. There are some arguements against boosting the Rokh, let me address the most common ones. This is not about DPS, its about flexibility. The current 50 Mb bandwidth is adequate and we do not want to field 2 heavy, 2 medium, and a light drone in a flight for maximum DPS. Only the Rokh is prevented from protecting itself from both classes of smaller targets equally (i.e. Most battleships can carry a flight of medium drones and a flight of lights. But several patches and mechanic changes later and we have the situation where light drones are the only ones capable of catching up to and dealing damage to fast moving frigates, either other pilots or NPCs. A 50 m3 drone bay on the Rokh was not too debilitating, merely annoying. When the Tier three battleships were introduced back in late 2006, well trained pilots with medium drones could be fairly confident that their mechanical assistants could handle anything that got in close under the tracking of their guns. While the lack of battleships with 100 m3 drone bay is an outlier, the biggest outlying point is the very first one: the poor Rokh suffering with 50m3 all by itself. ![]()
