Is there EVER going to be drone implants? Is there ever going to be another module to help missiles like gunnery has?

Wouldn't drone implants just be a buff to super carrier DPS?

Sounds like something where you'd have to tread carefully....

As time approaches infinity, the chance of an event with non-zero probability happening approaches certainty.

Since there is a non-zero chance of CCP introducing drone implants, and EVE will obviously live forever, then yes, there will likely be drone implants at some point in the future.

True, they would need to be worked out well and everything but they could still be done and as they are the only weapon system without implants I think they are do

have a "does not apply to carriors / super-carriors" and/or ""does not apply to fighters/bombers"

i would like to see drone speed/warp-speed ones, optimal and tracking ones, and finally a bunch that can buff the Ewar drones (not jamming ones) to improve web bonus or target painting or target disruption or dampening

I think the concern is that it would further buff sentry carriers/supercarriers.

This is probably why they have not been added yet.

Though sentry supercarriers are impossible now.

In the last year they have rebalanced the majority of t1/faction drone boats based on a system where there are no drone implants. They would have to go through and nerf all of the drone boats if they did.

They added drone damage amplifiers in that one as well and officer DDAs to boot, and drone DPS has been within tolerance.
If they occupied the same slots of small medium and large turret implant slots respectively it would be ok.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.
