I just found these videos. And that Dragoon at 11:27 was me! :D Switched right back to my trusty Shield-Algos after that. ^^ And tried the Arty-Trasher myself. Also wrote a longer post about it: thegreybill.com/2020/08/03/thoughts-on-ffa-proving-grounds/
This arty setup is fun I’ve been running with it, but holy crap the drone boats. More and more of the games seems to be 3 to 4 drones boats. I’ve even had to add sabot ammo for tracking to try to kill the drones faster. Feels like almost insta drones on me if I get even remotely close to them. Good content though really enjoy you’re videos.
Chris Focus unfortunately the smart bombs that fit on frigs and destroyers have such limited range and damage it barely tickles drones. So far I found the best way is to literally ride the edge of the arena and some times to go in and out of the arena to have the AOE affect burn off the drones.
Hey bud, could you do a video on drugs at some point please. I feel like I'm really missing out by not using them unfortunatelyI don't have a clue about them but I understand they have drawbacks not just bonuses.
they are fairly straightforward, just look them up in the marketbrowser and see which penalties they have and what chance to proc penalty the booster has. Each penalty can proc regardless of the others so if you are unlucky you can end up with 4 penalties but depending on your ship and fit probably only 1 or 2 of those are to a significant stat. most of the time with good skills you end up with no penalty or when they do proc they have slightly reduced effect.

I Wonder if there is a smartbomb fit to counter all these drones.
Cheers man and ye drone boats appear to be everywhere.
