Are sentry drones worth using?

the t2 ones hurt but have to b careful if u use them in mission...ask dan hes the drone user in our corp...n yea can advertise no rule saying cannot ler

but quiet hassle to use drone especially when you had to run away and leave ur drone behind. and drone can be destroyed.

sentry drone auto attack when ur aggroed rite?

I read somewhere in EVE forum,someone give some info on how he use his drone. He use his drone to web his enemy and he launched torpedo from far. That seem a good strategy to me.

drones are powerful if properly used......otherwise it can kill you cos of room agro.
i use my sentrys as my extra "turrets" for my hyper/domi. those sentry also got very nice tank and sometimes it also can be a dummy for rats to jam so you are free from enemy jammers.

so dan, how many times have your drones gotten your ship popped?

Launching torp from far is HISTORY

He Tells The Truth... You Must Trust God of POPPED

Dan PWNED

about as historic as dual mwd calvary ravens

Based on this killboard, most of top killers in LOLE is heavy missile fan, right? Drake and caracal are the most popular ship in LOLE. can you please give me your caracal ship setup, Roland San? because my next ship will gonna be caracal too.

sure..why not?

also its depend what your setup and your's targets setup. Sometime, target might be fitted for mission running and you was fitted with pvp mod. That why the target get owned

er most of us in lole are caldari and caldari spec'd.

and caracals and drakes are cheap throwaway ships that do reasonably well in caldari militia fleet ops. some may say that they don't really do well as pvp ships, but a fleet of caracals and drakes can kill a lot... until they meet a nano or bs heavy gang.

basically, fly them if you know you've got tackler support. dps is not outstanding, but you don't have to worry about transversal and you can choose damage types. the drake can tank quite a bit, but the cara is paper thin. keep aligned, basically.

cara fit: 5x heavy, 1 large shield extender, 1 invul, 1 scram, 1 ab, 1 sensor booster, 1 bcu, 1 power diag, 2 light drones

you can point, you can take about 7-8k effective hp dmg, you can target reasonably fast, you can spew missiles, and you can get back to the gate faster than a non-ab'd cruiser. you will also die often, cos that's what a cara does

i used to fit 2x damps instead of a tank, but that would mean shooting from 70-80km out, and getting detached from the fleet.

caracals n drakes cause they are cheap...caracals are just throwaways drakes are better in terms of dps n tank but slow in alignment...actually i prefer ravens but then we lost all our ravens within 10days when we join FW. so use drake n caracal lo but then if u meet a nano gang then u better start praying ... especially if u are alone...

Caldarian are cheaters......i always stay in front and tank enemy's attack while those drake and caras just stay behind and fire missiles.......thats why they always got final blows on KM cos it was me and the rest at front who takes the enemy in hull....

knnb.....dunno why those gallente keep primaried me

gee. i wonder why.

next time you encounter a fleet, look at your overview. you will pick out the ships that are obviously out of place.
imagine a gallentean fleet member:

"hmmm.... cara, cara, cara, cara, drake, drake, drake, drake, myrmidon, raven, raven... oh wait... myrmidon!"

any ship that stands out like a sore thumb will get noticed. it's easier to pick out a primary that stands out than, say, a single cara out of a fleet of ten.
also, being gallentes, they know how to fit a gallente ship, and they know what it can do and they know how to kill them. if i see a cara in a gallente fleet, i'd shoot it first (while locking down the primaries) cos i know it'll die fast, and i know it's got an em hole the size of dan's ass.

I notice dan's ass is used for various metaphors around here.

Caracal doesn't spew out little damage, they're the heaviest hitters among its class. They throw the most DPS, hence why most people kill Caracals first if there are no BB. As to how a Rifter can kill a Caracal, nothing unusual there. I've lost a Harpy before to a Rifter...answer to it is setup on both ships. I fitted my Harpy for medium range while Rifter fits for close range. A Rifter can outrun a Caracal easily if setup properly.

For the Drake, it's like a Caracal on stimpack! Triple the tank ability and at least double the DPS of a Caracal...i did instapop a Crow before in PR-. Saw the Crow coming for me to tackle my Drake, i timed my missiles properly and when he started coming for me (without giving him much time to allign away), i shot 1 volley just in time to pop him while he was alligning to the side to orbit me. When a ship starts to orbit you, they slow down by quite alot...that's when u do maximum damage, also i had painters on my Drake

i once accidentally brought a pve drake on a fleet op right into oms.
i didn't realise it was the pve one and not the pvp one til i got back to caldari space -.-

the difference was 1 sensor booster

I see all are doing well in bloodlust engagements

Just stopping by to drop off this: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=39853501520

no real bloodlust for the past week. ninja looting/salvaging attempts have been thwarted by people with obviously more salvagers on their boats, and much faster reflexes.

i like the time lapse vid, the guy in white is a laugh.

Can you guys give opinion on this scenario , this scenario happened in 2/10 DED Complex (PVE):

In Guritas pirate side, they got 3 Caracal equip with Scourge Heavy Missile. That mean they can fire missile in really long distance with high damage.

On my side, we have 3 caldari frigate. we use frigate because only frigate and destroyer can get inside 2/10 DED.

My question:
1) What caldari frigate we should use?
2) What tactic can be done to destroy this Caracal?
