Default Re: What good are drones? [EOM]

it depends on what use you want them for, I have used them, especially in wormhole defense, put 60-80 drones on wormhole with other defenses and then can make a difference. yes they are expensive, but again, depends on how you use them and how you have them implemented in your various offensive/defensive strategies.... example, I had a number of battles (TDM) at wormholes, launched 50-80 drones, (tactical), along with my defending fleet & bases, they definitly put the hurt on enemy fleet of 81 ships, didn't destroy them, but did take some out and damaged others... did make a difference, also use drones launched from planets to take out single enemy shps coming thru my systems and against colony ships...
