CCP should change the way the "Drones" skill works.

Set the base number of drones controllable to 5.

Have the skill just increase the damage by 20% per level.

It really feels bad to be a low SP player in a fleet with older players and only being able to launch two drones.


This is an emotional crisis for many new players.

Wat? It only takes a couple of days (a week?) to get five drones.

No. If you can't be bothered to take the week or so it takes to train Drones V, to hell with your emotional crisis.

I didn't miss it. I simply don't care for people that can't come right out and say what they mean. The OP has a great future as a politician or a lawyer though.

The sentry drone is a primary weapon system for cruisers, navy cruisers, pirate cruisers, pirate battleships, navy battleships, recons, hac, battleships, battlecruisers, blops, and all 4 races carriers, and most navy gunboats do pretty dull damage without adding in drone damage.

ie you can complain about many things for drones, but return on investment for training them aint one of them.

obvious troll is obvious.

anyway, i will bite and say that the drones need another r balance pass, from 5 max drones down to 3 max, so the drones skill would do
lvl1 +1 drone +15% damage to drones
lvl2 +15% damage to drones
lvl3 +1 drone +15%damage to drones
lvl4 +15% damage to drones
lvl5 +1 drone +15% damage to drones

or maybe add the 3 drones to the first 3 skill levels, then just damage, so the op stops being hurt, or w/e.

having +5 targets instantaneously on the overview when you already have targets up can be a ***** to lock up on anything bigger than a frig, +3 makes more sense, and sounds a LOT easier to balance when it comes to EWAR. nerfing chance based effects such as jams, and buffing up TP, Webs, etc.

Stop this now! You guys got your dueling crime watch (which I love really much) and now they did the skills changes to cruisers and bc.No learn the skill like we all did or go away. I'm all for helping new players understand and get into eve but I don't want any hand holding. We all must feel the torture of skills training slowlyyyyyyieeeee.I died many times my first month in eve trail and error is the only way you learn and get better.The skill is only lvl 5 talk to me when your training a skill 30 days +.Deal with itCool

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.

This is what they did with Drone interfacing? You used to be able to control 10 at a time with anyship with the bandwidth to do so with that skill at 5. they changed it to 20% because it caused a lot of lag though.. i miss those days.

The obvious fix to all drone problems is that there should be a hacking\jamming\disruption module so i can hack into someone else's drone bandwidth and hijack thier drones......
