Line 295:

'''Drone choice''' for a dedicated PvP droneboat depends on your role, but if you're looking for DPS drones then, sentries aside, the choice is usually between Gallente (for DPS) and Minmatar (for speed, and to hit explosive-weak armor tanks). Of course, if you have a large dronebay you may have room to bring alternative flights, so you can choose the drone size and damage type for your target. Add ECM drones and (if you have allies) repair drones on top to taste.

Some ships, notably the Vexor ~~and Myrmidon~~, have an awkward 75Mbit/sec bandwidth. When fitting for situations which require maximum DPS, you may need to field a mixture of drone sizes rather than a coherent flight. The Vexor can field, for example, two heavies, two mediums and one light, with enough room left in the dronebay for an additional flight of lights, or of EC-300 ECM drones.

'''Switching drones''' in the middle of a fight can take valuable time. Sometimes it's quicker to just abandon the flight you have out already rather than wait for them to MWD back to you. Winning is worth the cost of a new flight of Ogre IIs, and if you hold the field you may be able to collect them afterwards.
