Didn't say it was.

Drones shouldnt be powerfull than players anyway. However Drones should damage player bombers and fighters of course bombers will take more damage, they will need a weapon that can damage player shields/hull though
I think Fighter Drones will be more better vs player bombers and gunboats(if supported by other players otherwise gunboat will eat drones)
and Bomber Drones will be good vs Battleships if they will have huge hp like 80-100k
5 Bomber Drone can do 660K damage if they hit a battleship with SNAC and I am sure bomber drones can fire another salvo to battleship before they die
If they die you can send another wing of bomber drones (if you have full Bomber Drone setup)
Yes I remember old NPCs and I remember how everyone hated them (hence why they're gone). The idea of getting them on-demand is, to me, simply silly. Giving them more HP than player controlled snubs is even more silly. 100k HP? That's a tiny gunboat, not a drone.
Sorry, but the idea that a carrier can just sit back, type a few commands in console and put on a *****-eating grin while the enemy battleship just gets pounded by 5 SNACs in waves is just cheesy and removes any skill factor from piloting the ship other than kiting. Hell, I can already see a scenario where a carrier basically does a drive-by where it launches drones and goes cruises away.
Anyway, not likely to change each other's minds so might as well agree to disagree.
Why We have carriers then? They are so stupid and wrong in the mod, have nothing to do but die in battle. Giving them purpose, changing their gameplay is the best thing to do
Second option is changing them to Battleships/Dreadnoughts.
Also a player in a fighter have more than 200k-250k* hp because of REGENS and that is even more silly than everything you see here

That's what carriers do, they are not battleship. I am sure you know difference between carriers/battleships
