EVE General Discussion

On SiSi all drones in a supercap's drone bay get put in your medclone's station. This is hilariously bad seeing as supercaps cannot dock and a lot of people have their medclones set to hisec stations.

Pre-Crucible launch, if supercap pilots remove all but fighters and bombers from their hold and keep it under the m3 of the new drone bays, will their dronebays still be wiped clean when Crucible goes live?

It is much easier to remove the soon-to-be-useless drones now rather than have everything end up in a station that cannot be docked at.

Well, it's not like the drones will ever see the inside of your drone bay even if you could dock, so I guess there's gonna be the inconvenience of either having them hauled/JF'd or listing them on the market.

Something's gotta be done with them, really. Med clone station is probably the most streamlined way of doing this for every SC pilot's combat drones. How would you suggest they manage this for the thousand plus of SC pilots who need to have the drones cleared from their bay on the 29th? Honest question.

e: also, by, say, teleporting all those drones to a central location like Jita IV - 4, the repercussions of that are tens of thousands of drones being firesaled in one location, arfiicially wrecking that market. By scattering them about at medbay stations, that softens the blow to the markets I guess? v0v

Pretty sure he answered that. He wants to know if he jettisons or abandons or otherwise gets rid of all his non-fighter, non-bombers and keeps the total fighter/bomber count in his dronebay to an amount less than the new dronebay size - that CCP will smile upon him and not move his fighters/bombers to his clonestation.

I call it unlikely. But it's a good idea. Lets people deal with the hassle of moving the drones in/out of the super ahead of time.

THANK YOU, especially for #1

Welp. Guess I was wrong. Thanks CCP!

this is stupid (c)Swearte Widfarend

you do realise that:
1. standard jettisoned container can contain 27500m3
2. Freighter can't take cans from space
?

This question (for me at least) was never about the m3 and logistics of getting them moved. I just wanted to know if there was a way I could keep from having a neutered Nyx when I logged in post-Crucible launch.

Moving 100k m3, 200k m3 or 1,000,000 m3 is easy in null and in a lot of ways, much safer than hisec.

sell it to us, we don't give a crap about the supercarrier nerf due to the way we use them and the insane numbers we can field and we offer the mittani's discounted third party service

Look at this cool guy who complains about supercaps yet is a member of an alliance who owns more than almost anyone else.

First of all, I don't fly a super.

Second of all, as a member of Goonswarm you don't get to speak for "all of nullsec" even though you represent the largest single body in nullsec. And as a former member of the NC, you really don't get to be self-righteous.

Finally, like a poor marksman you keep missing the point.
Why should a super pilot log into EVE and be completely castrated? Because that's what they are suggesting (doing on Sisi).

So what if you can arrange a JF to fly from HiSec to deep Stain with your Fighters and FBs. So what if you can arrange it to happen almost instantaneously because you are a member of the largest alliance in the game?

CCP shouldn't be nerfing and neutering in a single stroke, unless your fearless leader actually has a pair of kitchen shears surrounding the scrotum of someone at the top of the CCP food chain. The nerf is due, but the neutering is reckless and irresponsible.


This isn't about a freighter. If (when an SC logged in) fighters, drones, and FBs were simply in space (not in can) next to the SC, the pilot could refill the drone bay with fighters and FBs, and a corp/alliance/fleetmate could scoop the rest into a hauler and move it. Of course, this may be completely impossible for CCP to do, so their only solution is to dump in a hangar in a station, but then they should not be emptying the drone bay completely either...
