So, yea...2 Spider Drone Is take me from 552 m/s to... two point eight m/s.
Can we be expecting them to be outfitted with webs appropriate to the new speed mechanics any time soon? |

NPC's have never scaled with any player ship nerfs so NO.

They still damp both attributes insanely well, their ECM is flat-rate chance based unaffected by ECCM, their torps still hit from 90 km out, they MWD in deadspace, and you expect webs to be nerfed on them?! |

Given that they web you from 100 odd km away it's fairly safe to assume that they don't play by the same rules. |

well spider drones only web from 10km or so, it just seems like 100km as they goo 5km/s.
Also read the description of the drones and you will see why they are as special as they are.
You will also note that pre nerf SW drones only webbed for 30% decrease and now they only do a 20% decrease.
So they were pretty useless before since they only come in the heavy variant and you needed at least two to reduce a target to 50% of their speed, now you need 3 to do that.
I am not even sure if their are stacking penalties applied to webbers but as it stands now without stacking penalties you will need 3 heavy webbers to reduce by a targets speed by 49% 4 to reduce by 59% 5 to reduce by 67%.
So, even more useless than before. |

Webs and webber drones are stacking penalized, so no, you're not going to get that 67% webbing out of them. |

Yeah, I wasn;t sure. Even so 67% for 5 heavy drones was pretty lame to begin with. |

Can I take some of my special Minmatar duct tape and strap a couple of those to the hull of my ship to use instead of the standard modules? |

NPCs are -not- stacking penalized.
Just fight some L3/L4 serpentis who use sensor damps and you can see that in action. My 75ish km lock range gets dropped down to about 4.
Of course, the serpentis get to use pre-script sensor damps that work on both lock time and lock range perfectly well.
It's just these things are a lot less aggravating than being webbed by 99.993% |

In my opinion ever since those mission were made they have never being updated buffed/nerfed like we players do. |
