Or just make some absolute distinctions between sentries and heavy drones.
Ishtar and navy vexor, bandwidth down to 100. Ishtar dronebay down to 225.
Heavy drones bandwidth changed from 25 to 20.
Ishtar and navy vexor loses 20% of its dps potential when using sentry drones. Keeps all of its dps when using heavies.
Ishtar no longer can have a dronebay the size of a battleship (dronebay the size of the prophecy).
Half the problems fixed right there.
Yaay!!!!

Half the problems fixed right there. This sounds like a more reasonable approach to me, though it would certainly impact more ships. For instance, any ship with 40m3 can now field two heavies.
Ships with 50 bandwidth can currently field two heavies. I dont remember the last time I saw a thorax, arbitrator, or any ship with that bandwidth. You lose out on mobility and tracking with heavies vs others. Unbounused those things are slow.
Yaay!!!!

Taking heavies Down to 20 bandwidth affects the vexor and prophecy (they would both have a different optimal load out, but would suffer with applied dps from the slower heavies). It affects the proteus, stratios, and myrmidon as they all get the option of fielding 5 heavies, but also suffer from the issue of applied damage (droneboat proteus and myrmidon are not widely used fleet comps in regards to how the Ishtar is currently).
most people will continue to use mediums unless against a battleship, where heavies would be a better option. Neither are situations that are presently unbalanced or an issue currently.
Yaay!!!!

They are trying to address the symptom and not the cause, because people hate direct ship nerfs (see the fighters changes thread).
It has to happen regardless.
Yaay!!!!
