Glad to see you covered the drones having their shield, armor, and hull health on the individual icons when in space. I've had to explain that to so many when they were just stacking and firing them. Then wondering how to keep track of which needed to be pulled in for swapping. XD

[@quackadoodle4242]

I can't wait for the Nestor! I like drones and I love scanning and exploring and as I'm sure you know I love armor tanking, so I'm really looking forward to that ship

[@Orca87]

My face at 45:23 when 44 second Drone Damage Amp :D My face when it takes 289,647,000 Skill points to do it D:

[@eriquefavreau2388]

I absolutely did not know that I had to do the drone skill first. I’ve skilled all the way up on small and medium in both operational for both of those. I didn’t realize the actual drone skill at the bottom. I feel like an amateur. Thanks Captain Benzie.

[@tofonofo4606]

The nihilist gate drone issue was patched if I recall. Last time I went through a gate with my drones out it was still available to me in the next room. You could have mentioned that if your ship exceeds your drone velocity, they will never catch up with your ship to reenter the drone tube. They will just chase you around as best they can. Thats always fun. o7

Very in depth video 👍

[@kennyutoob]

Feel like I've gone back in time here Captain! Did I miss this in July 2020 😉. Here I am watching though, and dare I say learning something too!

[@kennyutoob]

@@captainbenzie no way! Well then, well worth watching by a wide variety of pilots then. Particularly those like me who only skilled more deeply into drones relatively late. The drone control range stuff for instance can often confuse. Nice to hear it set out simply and clearly. 👌

[@tyrendian8738]

So good, and I only made it past the intro so far.

[@syzygyusry]

Hey I played at launch and quit about a year later cause my phone was to shit to play the game. I recently upgraded my phone and am getting back into the game. Drones are my favorite wep and this was a great refresher. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@wizardprang]

There he goes, droning on again. Sorry, couldn't resist.

[@Herosez]

Thanks for all the fantastic videos. Just was wondering about the Omnidirectional Tracking Link, is that mostly for sentry drones?

[@AbdulazimAbdulmajid]

navigation will help a lot when dealing with frigates

[@bazkervillerouge750]

I have a fund only to eventually cover my sweet Green Drones. Versatility its the word at hand.

[@Morocielago]

Hey captain, can large drone handle frigates or even elite frigates? I'm was about riding armageddon soon in few weeks

[@marcusw86]

Do they play on bring in mining, salvage, and E-War drones?

[@davidcoyne20691]

What's the best specs/moduals would you recommend for a tristan 2? Kind regards David

[@MK-sg9jl]

Great Content as allways. What drones for ds make sense? In the case that smaller Ships Orbit my Raven? I think med drones maybe make lower Dmg, but are faster in many cases..

[@thefirstborngazarangatachi8336]

Thank you for another great video, can't wait for the faction drones, PvP arena, and mordu's legion. I just hope they implement more variety and inovative PvE content that isn't all necessarily high security as I did enjoy the battle pass (hell, why not actual PvE raids?). To address complaints about low sec scanning, I feel that maybe dedicated ewar ship modules/bonuses that can make scanning down your ships more difficult would be a great addition. Overall I have no complaints, I think the game is going in a great direction.

[@SubZ3ro907]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong or have a setting messed up because my drones won't fly off and attack until the enemy is within their optimal range. My drone ships are useless to me. Any ideas as to what's going on?

[@avudim1255]

Why is the tracking for drones so low on the stat list? Warrior is 3.24 in this case. This is the same as lg weapons. Is that a typo or is their tracking calculated differently? Thanks!

[@robertosantillan8721]

Hey captain i have a cuestion is not about the video but about the game..Which battleship do you recommend me to buy to make special anomalies in the fleet (inquis, ds) please I need help I have skills in cannons, missile launchers and I am going up in laser. Please helpme

[@xEternalEnigmax]

Anyone know the answer to best dps for two drone rigs? Two speed or one speed on firepower?(using the third for range)

[@cannibalgaming1714]

Yesterday a drake kept shooting my drones and never shoot my ship to death that's another good advantage. But I prefer mk7 because they are expensive

[@pierremontpetit5866]

Wish i could had a pic but can't just letting you know i messaged you about a missing module on the video. The omnidirectional

[@SagaraUrz]

So you can only release 1 drone per slot, its not like on the PC version.

[@NM-ue8on]

I naught a drone and came to get it but I dint see anything so I came back and I don’t know how to get the drone I buyed

[@sinOsiris]

ahoy Capt'n drones better in tactical but are quite expensive.... well at least for me

[@coldshadow7880]

Completelly unrelated question to the subject in the video. But why r minmatar still "discriminated"?, like every module ingame shares a common price range for all the factions until u get to the minmatar and the same type of item (tier) is 5x or 7x over the price of all the other?doesnt make sense

[@SephyClone7]

Supply and demand? I cant say much myself but sounds like someone has a monopoly with republic stuff or no ones actively farming/making them enough

[@coldshadow7880]

@@captainbenzie still, i dont see a reason of why they r the thoughest, shouldnt they be somewhat the same difficulty with the only differences being dmg type and defense type (laser/rail dmg with armor defense, cannons/missiles/shield tanked)?

[@SephyClone7]

@@coldshadow7880 Minmatar and Gallente NPCS also use warp scramblers, so the risk is that much greater against them

[@hotellacandela6619]

But only problem is " netease don t like drone boat " There is 70 fregate but only 2 with drone There is bs striker for any wepons but not drone . For example raven have 60k d Hp raven striker 100k hp Dominix 70k hp dominix 2 80k hp My friends with megatron striker have 5000/6500 dps . Me with dominix 2 have 1500/2000 dps .... -.- why?

[@eduard7788]

На чем ты играешь?

[@thegamerboneless2864]

Have you thought about playing infinite lagrange. Pretty decent game, there tutorial sucks, and its difficult to get a hand of, your videos would do great, I think..

[@hello-gx6oi]

He already is

[@thegamerboneless2864]

@@hello-gx6oi yes just saw that. Thanks
