Hello, I'm back to eve from a long break. I'm going to run lvl4's again but what I read from dev blogs and (whining) players threads stops me from jumping in my shiny BS and warp into a lvl4, as I dont know what will happen one inside!!!
So, is there any precaution I should take? What about sleeper-like drone aggro? what about tons of E-war I read about on the forums? Are lvl4's still soloable?
Ty for the help. |

Yes, they're soloable. NPC will swap targets regularly, as far as I can tell the only safe option is to assume it is to random targets, I've never experienced anything predictable.
EWAR is mainly sane, I have issue with serpentis in the assault - but it may be because drones are hopeless, beyond that I've not seen any nasties, but I'm not up in sansha space. |

If your "shiny BS" is a drone-boat you should start cross-training now.
If it's a gun-boat you should expect mo'bettah Tracking Disruption.
If it's a missile boat the main thing you have to worry about is the fact that your targets will drop lock on you and go for your drones asap. That means you have to spend a lot more time monitoring your drones' health than you used to.
Overall, for missile users nothing much has changed except missions are more involved now. |

Main thing you will have to watch out for are the new drone aggression rules. In a nutshell
NPC GÇó NPCs will now only target drones in their size category. Gùª Elite frigates and cruisers NPCs will go for small drones and above. Gùª Frigates and Cruisers NPCs will go for medium drones and above. Gùª Battleship NPCs will go for large drones.

Just go run one for gods sake. It's not as scawy as the Chicken Little crowd are making it out to be. If L4s are that frightening then you need to skill up a bit. |

Expect nothing... fit properly and pay attention. I dual boxed Angel extravaganza and in the bonus room they never switched targets the whole time, worlds collide saw both my mission ships jammed at the same time in the guristas pocket .. so again, fit properly and pay attention. Oh PLEASE!!! CCP Fozzie Can I haz a Navy moa....... |

brb need to find a lv 4 wrestling agent in the bikini division!
as far as ai and drones goes you need to pay a bit more attention to your drones. I'd hold drones till npc frigs are close or in orbit
with the ewar sounds like it is mostly sansha using a lot more tds. there were always a few serp missions where damps were just annoying and with the drone changes probably even more annoying. they also changed npc ecm a while back but I think they fixed it too since that was a while ago, can't be that bad I do run in caldari space and can't tell the difference. |

thank you all for the replies and the suggestions. I mainly fly gunboat BS's with small drones for frig popping job. So I'll have to pay more attention to them and to Ewar from rats... ok! I never liked drone boats in PVE, now I have one more reason to dislike them >.< |
