the usage of Geckos has not gone down due to price. The intent was to be more powerful than heavies, why would they have equal/less EHP for a price point of 30mil?ġa. 6 would probably be more appropriate so that they cannot track webbed frigates as well as something like a gecko.Ĥ) For the price point, yes - it has more EHP, as it should. Ideally you want to stack damage against the rats' lowest resists, so heavies or sentries would still dominate here.ģ) On Tracking - you do have a point there. People were already stopping using geckos once they hit 30mil b/c of the price.Ģ) No, omni damage is not optimal for PVE. No T1 or T2 versions.ĭamage: 28EM / 28Therm / 28 Kin / 28 Explosiveġ) Why would people use heavies instead of these: b/c 60mil is a lot to stack into a pvp boat for drones. Tracking and EHP also slightly lower than a gecko.Īlso - the proposed drone would have to be acquired through LP stores, so that the conversion works out to about a 30mil price point. The trade off would be for slightly increased speed above most heavies and omni damage, but slightly lower damage than regular heavies. Read it through before immediately screaming NO, as I've thought about the stats fairly carefully b/c they of course would have to not be OP. Of course the fact that they're valuable is awesome - but at the same time, they were super fun while they lasted for reasonable pricing.Īnyways - I figured I'd propose a new drone that bears some similarity to both geckos/heavies.

There's been some talk about Geckos, and I've seen a couple threads about whether or not more should be released, or they should be kept limited.
