I just don't think that is a realistic perspective. Every list has it's "dogs" and I don't think the focus of testing should be in trying to arrive at some list utopia.
...
So although this issue may trouble some, I am not overly concerned about it as it relates to the overall list balance. At this point, drones do not unbalance the list and for the next cut, I am Ok with that.

I agree that sometimes a low-performer is okay, especially if it has a niche or two.  It's definitely preferable to have an underperforming unit or formation than a no-brainer or "must have" formation.

That said, it is still better if it can be brought up to snuff with the rest of the list for internal balance.  Even if it's a low priority, I think gun drones deserve a little bit of attention once more pressing matters are mostly worked out.

One ability that doesn't seem to be taken into account is the pathfinder's ability to use the coordinated fire rule. That is not a minor ability and certainly cheaper than a SC Crisis formation.

@Neal: I think we are in general agreement.

I used to take PF for co-ord fire and ml combo - so double PF, sustain whoever.

But Tetras also have co-ord fire as well as cheaper, 100% skimmers and are faster. Why would you take a pathfinder formation instead of a recon formation?

But in FF the tetras are more survivable. They also can pop up to use their ML's on a co-ord fire order and if they really want can also use terrain in extreme circumstances. I would dispute that PF's are that much more survivable.

How about "use the formation you like the most".

This part of the discussion has gone circular, so let's leave it as is.
