Player Features and Ideas Discussion

first off, is this even in the correct subforum? idk. i hope it is.

but anyways, i had a few ideas i would like to see implemented:

1.) in the drone management panel, what about adding in the cycle times for when your drones shoot things? could be a kind of reverse progress bar that depletes within 4s

not that this is NEEDED, but itd be nice to have. for example, you dont need to see your weapons cycling, you just need to know that they are cycling. so why cant drones get the same treatment by adding in a 4s cycle timer (:

2.) a button that makes more buttons. i was thinking, in the settings section of the drone management panel, an option could be added that created a button that appears in your slot layout next to your weapons. that way when you lock someone you can "prime" your drones just like your other mods. or you have the option to use that button to tell your horde to attack instead of "F" or right clicking and then engage.

3.) for dedicated drone boats, like the vexor or arbitrator, what about removing that mining bonus (lol), and replacing it with a drone ewar bonus? so a vexors bonuses would like:
+5% to medium hybrid damage
+10% to drone damage, health, and ewar effects

i feel this could really open up some new gameplay and doesnt force drone boats into essentially needing combat drones to be effective. the thought of bonused neut drones is quite exciting lol and also kind of scary to think about

but ya, i thought those ideas might be decent

thoughts?

Please remove the "Dear CCP" from the title,
it gives the distinct impression that there is massive amounts of entitled bear tears and impotent rage contained herein.
Most of the truly hilarious whine threads have that in the title.

These are ideas and features you would like to. Discuss, guess where they go.

But while I'm here I'll give my two isk.

1) meh.

2) sounds like a ui design nightmare but customisable module buttons could be interesting. I prefer to just hotkey stuff to my mouse though (it has an absurdly large number of buttons)

3) yes, love it.
