Keris vs Fighter Drone II

I was thinking aboutr building either a keris complex or mk2 drones, ai never really used anything besides standard fighter drones so i would like some opinion on this.
I don't care about profits, what i care about is combat effectiveness.

In flight the MkII has the upper hand;
MkII 200 m/s with 2 PAC, vs 180 m/s with 1 EMPC.
Production is another matter as a Kerris Factory will produce 25 per hour whilst an Advanced Drone factory produces 4 per hour.

Yeah i saw that when i plugged in the faps into Xadrian.
Im always thought that Keris was the superior one, because of the "superior terran tech" thing.

Time to build some Advanced drone fabs then.

actually I find the best results is to have mix of both. The Mk2 gets to target faster so the enemy tries to shoot at the faster ships but I think the keris is more accurate and theirfor does more damage.

But are you really using drones to do the damage ?

In the early days I used to keep a TL full of drones as the nuclear option should my home sector get attacked but that’s long gone, mass khaak invasions are a thing of the past.

I find the MK1 drones (400m/s) far more effective at keeping the enemy busy firing it’s turrets ineffectively or chasing the drones round in circles.

The Mk1 are considerably harder to hit but the Mk2 have 8 times the punch...
