What do people do to counter drain builds? Any ideas for a science PvP guy playing pure space magic? I saw this person using aceton, siphon drones, energy siphon and some subsystem targeting, tyken's rift, probably other drain mechanics I'm not even aware of etc etc. Basically all the drain cheese possible, I was probably victim f it. I couldn't do anything, had to sit there and wait for my inevitable death, that came rather too quickly for my liking.
So far AoE and speed have been unsuccessful for me. Can't just run away from battle like an escort.
I have AoE mainly in the form of torpedo spread and gravity well. That's about it. Walp!!!
I also do have points in power insulator, but looking at the drain I've suffered, I might as well not have any.
I really hoping the solution is not to give up on magic space science lol

. I quite like it (except when I'm facing drains... ugh)!

At least 99 points in power insulators from skills and gear (consoles/defletctor/etc).
Plas leech or Maco. (for gain)
A boff w/ES (energy syphon).
Aux2batt build w/tech doffs. (nice power boosts)
Scramble Sensors any pets. (let them drain each other or the spammer)
Ware core eng doffs. +25 all systems on proc
Jump consoles, Rommy singularity jump ability, aux2damp, etpe, high engine preset, evasives, deut should all allow the ability to move away from any syphon drones etc.
Situational awareness. Avoid flying in the middle of spam fest. Pay attention to any boff ability cycles and avoid forward arc during uptime of tykens.
To kill pets:
AoE: EWP, TBR (pets and or spammer), Mines w/DP, TS3, CVS3 (though some things you want non-energy strikes), your own GW/TR (both do damage and may kill/disrupter w/e is draining you). PSW stuns TB draining pets.
Or:
Kill the spammer(s) w/teamplay.

Ok man, even if english isn't your first language, can you please make some sort of attempt to punctuate and/or create sentence structure? Also, you've had a type-o in that ridiculous signature for months now.
1st things 1st when facing a Drain Monster JAM SENSORS 1
2nd Use Evasive Manuvers to close in and unleash a Breen Cluster Bomb Torpedo Barrage
3rd Cover him with Theta Radiation and use Tractor Beam 1
4th Scramble Sensors 1
5th Viral Matrix 3 and Sub Nuke him [All the while unleashing torps as they come available like a Harpeng or Rapid Fire Transphasic. That way you have different torps on different cooldowns so you always have some sort of weapon coming online. I also love the chroniton beam in the fore it really gets under thier skin.
6th set off your Bio-neural Warhead
7th set off your Point Defense System
8th Torp spread II [If flying a Wells ship use Time Stop for maximum effect]
9th Use your Impulse Capicator to escape if you need to...
I did this flying an Intrepid Torp Boat and was very successful. Sometimes the best defense is a good offense. Oh and one other thing they hated was the Ablative Armor Console it made tachyon beam useless against me.Nothing infuriates them as prey that can escape thier range. You might even want to employ the Subspace Jumper Console for extra passes making them think they have been sensor jammed....[hehehheheh]
