Player Features and Ideas Discussion

18) its already in game ...it called Drone Control Unit I, adds 1 extra drone per unit... limited to carriers/supercarriers and it should stay that way.
15) clothes bonuses are useless since u do not have any when u are in a pod... yeah u are naked in there.
14) u can mix drone types.... u can launch heavies,mediums and lights at the same time and u can mix drones as u want...1 hob 1 hornet 1 acolyte and 1 warrior if u want to.
9) adding more t2 ammo will be good... to have more options but mixing dgm types can`t be done...missiles u can have all 4 damages, as for other types of weapons systems, lasers do only EM/thermal dmg because they are directed energy weapons so it can`t produce explosive(it needs a war head to do the explosion) and kinetic (witch needs a solid projectile at high speeds to create kinetic energy) same goes for blasters witch are electromagnetic weapons , fire a plasma projectile at high speeds witch produces thermal damage because plasma has insane high temperatures and kinetic from the speed of the projectile.
Making t2 ammo that will have different stats will be better like, low damage high tracking standard range ammo etc.
6) there's already a rudimentary system for that set drone to aggressive...and will engage targets that start to fire at you.Drone UI and behavior needs an overhaul that's for sure.

Now for my own ideas:

1) Add the equivalent of tacking enhancers and computers for missiles, to be able to increase range or have better explosion radius and velocity.
2) Add ecm module against missiles, similar to Tracking Disruptors but designed to affect missiles and to compensate look at point number 1).
3) Overhaul the drones AI and control interface...its way to outdated.

OP, I appologise in advance, but in this circumstance, I need to be cruel to be kind. This is for your own good.

2) You can check and avoid any systems in the map. It's up to you to monitor where your going and how likely you are to be shot. The game is not here to baby sit you.

4) A static site, that doesn't appear on the overview... In lowsec... WArp to it once and bookmark it. How is that adding an 'unknown' element? This would do nothing for exploration. What It would do is become a gank site for pirates. Thats why the lowsec statics were removed in the first place.
Increasing the spawn rate of sites in lowsec would create a lot more content without the obvious gank trap of a static site.

5) So you can afk autopilot while cloaked. How about no.

6) As already pointed out, it's called the 'Aggressive' setting.

8) We don't own planets. Also, terra-forming takes long periods of time. Like hundred of years.
--> Allowing dust bunnies to affect the resources of a planet would be a good idea though.

9) You mean "T2 PROJECTILE" ammo. We aren't psychic. We don't know what your talking about unless you actually tell us. I think the current ammo if fine. As pointed out, an ammo with better tracking would be much more appreciated.
--> Personally I think missiles should lose a damage type, probably EM. It would make things more fair.
Oh, and I am saying that as a missile user.

10) No. No. NO! Smart bombs are more than powerful enough.

11) Your an idiot. ECM is more than powerful enough. It even has a lowslot mod to improve it, which is something all other ewar lacks!

12) Your an idiot. Its called the search function!

14) Your an idiot. You can mix any drone you want into any group. You can launch any drones you want in any quantities, as long as you only have 5 drones maximum and your bandwidth does not exceed the amount your allowed.
Your a double idiot because you have already been told this and your saying the guys wrong!

15) There is no word in any language that has ever, or ever will exist, for the bounds of your idiocy. Please, do explain how a cool jacket can improve your ability to use a ship module. Go back to WoW.
As for implants being useless in a pod, go read how capsule fitted ships work. read what a Capsuleer does. I hope then you will realise how stupid what you just said was.

16) I think this is the only part of your entire post I agree with.

18) There is a limit of 5 drones because of the demand on the servers. Adding more things to render, track and calculate will slow the servers even more. They have enough work to do already.

I suggest that if you want to make suggestions, you actually look into the things your suggesting first. Follow Radhe Amatins example, his ideas are bloody good:

1) Missile version of TE/TC - Hell yes.
@ OP - yes, there are rigs already. BCU's change nothing about flight time/velocity or explosion radius/velocity. There are rigs that increase tracking, optimal and falloff for guns, but there is still tracking enhancers and computers. Why shouldn't missiles get a similar module?

2) Yes. Not sure tracking disruptors should affect missiles, but I think the weapon disruption skills and ships bonused for them should also affect this module.
@ OP - yes, defender missiles are easy to train, They are also a pile of **** and can only be used on a ship with a launcher slot. That means many ships cannot use it.

3) For the love of God, YES!
Making the interface more intuitive would be a good start. Less right clicking, more direct buttons and shortcuts. More information on our drones would be great too. Hovering over a symbol for them, like over weapon buttons in the HUD, and having them show statistics would be great too.
