How do we tell the optimal range on sentries, or any drone affected by the changes to the Omnidirectional Tracking Links? I activate them, and the stats don't change, stay with the bonuses my ship gives. Don't know all the math with the stacking penalties and all. I mean with or without scripts and all that. Just would like to know how to figure it out without having to keep testing it to find out.

CCP cares more about responding asap to Goon tears than fixing bugs that have been there for a long time.

Not like that hasn't been done before. Blink Do something original son. And I did Google it... there is nothing about it on Google about the Omnidirectionals. If you find something with your wizardness, please link it, I will be forever grateful.

Also have you tried doing info on them in space while they are in the drone bay ? that has always worked before.

I know you used to only see the modified stats of drones whilst they were in your dronebay in space, not when they're floating in space or in your hangar.

The issue is this.

Drones only show the stats from ships and passive modules.
Drones stats revert to default when you show info when outside the ship.
Active modules only give affects to drones outside the ship.

So you can't see the stats for them at all currently you have to spreadsheet it.

Its all different now, since they use scripts for Optimal Range bonuses.

So your old EFT pic won't work now.

Lol... dude... omnidirectionals are scripted and an active module now. Blink And plus I don't fly an Archon silly. Cannot tell much from that since I fly ships with drone bonuses. That doesn't tell me how to figure out my optimal range like I was asking.

Simply put, fozzie rammed through a terrible change, without consultation, without testing (there is not even a sticky on the test forum), and without even proper features and design to see how the module works.

In self-respecting software companies, such changes would not even get past QA.
And if they did, someone would get fired over such a mess.

But this is CCP, where the only QA are the forum warriors.

Try telling that to people like EA and Microsoft, both are guilty of putting in place changes without any form of QA, both are "leaders" in their respective fields of software development

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

But having the forum trolls do the QA frees up more money for important things like more kewl deployables and World of Darkness.

Yeah I would like to know the tracking speed and / or optimal range of my drones now with the mod on or off and scripted or not ... please fix.
This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.  Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless
