Gallente: "War is just so gauche. Isn't there some way we can get the machines to do that for us?"

Amarr: "A robot slave is better than no slave at all."

Caldari: "Different problems require different tools. It would be folly not to keep all tools in our arsenal."

Minmatar: "It kills things, right? Squeeze it in there between the guns and the missiles."

Thats none of your business and i'll thank you to stay out of my personal affairs.

After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary.  -Fozzie

What is your favorite race to fly? We'll take drones from them and see how you like it. :)

Amarr using robotic slaves?...

Amarr ships use actual slaves, stuffed into the drones.... for ballast.

To be honest drone interface is so in need of anoverhaul at the moment we really don't need to be thinking of ways to Nerf drones by race limiting them .

4 human ethnicities maybe. There's human, jove, sleeper and drone races right?

"Amarr ship designs incorporate more automation than many outsiders assume due to the sheer size of their fleets and their wide distribution across the Empire. While the Amarr military has legions of personnel, the vastness of the Empire and the requirements of the Navy mean that automation is essential, even on ships where there are complementary slave contingents.

I'd imagine their response would be along the lines of "Oh god I'm lonely, lets make some robot friends.".

Because if everyone didn't get to use drones, the forums would be flooded with threads about how OP drones are and nerf Gallente.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Gallente ships hardly have any missile launcher slots. Why CCP no like Gallente?



Seriously, the Minmatar have their all-projectile boat that is pretty tough, and the Caldari have some al- missile boats.

So, why no all-drone boat for Gallente? If a ship can have 6-8 missile launchers or 6-8 projectile guns, then there should be Gallente ships that can field 6-8 drones.


Once more.....

Why CCP no like Gallente?

lol

Why are there not special drones that slice through miners like a hot knife through butter?

Because in the New Order we like actually pressing buttons to blow stuff up and wish to rid the universe of the bot-aspirants.
