PvE Tactics: - obsolete drone tanking

'''Drone Tanking'''
'''Drone Tanking'''


Also referred to as drone seeding, this rather unorthodox tactic involves the use of multiple cheap (usually light) T1 drones to speed tank the enemy, or just occupy their attention, while the player deals the majority of the damage without taking aggro. This method is mostly used in situations where the pilot is required to "punch above their weight" allowing them to complete a mission they would otherwise have to abandon. You can read more about drone tanking [[Drone_Tanking|here]].
This was a tactic used in the past where the pilot would seed disposable drones on the battlefield to draw fire. This has since been changed and no longer works. You may be able to draw aggro on an active small done and remote rep it to divert some fire from large weaponry.
