Let me get this straight, Sisi's Drones currently have bounties approximately the same as the other null sec rats. Furthermore, CCP claims to be trying to bring the rewards of drones in line with the other rats.

Yet drones still:

-don't drop loot
-have horrible salvage
-don't increase sec status
-have worthless "faction" loot
-have worthless hauler spawns
-do pain in the butt omni damage

-not to mention the massive region wide decreases of the true sec of systems.

So how is it that this is in anyway comparable to the other npcs? Is it truly CCP's intention to screw over all the alliances living in drone space? After these changes the amount of isk that can be made in the drone regions will significantly diminish and the space will be relatively worthless. Furthermore, I personally consider sec status to be nearly priceless. To not be able to gain sec status through killing npcs is a massive disadvantage that cannot be understated. Not to mention a bizarre and rather arbitrary decision, ESPECIALLY now that drones are getting CONCORD bounties.

I can't help but remark on the timing of this. Since the fall of xdeathx the regions have become a haven for numerous new alliances seeking null sec space, my own alliance being just one such example. CCP, do you not claim to seek a dynamic null sec that isn't completely insurmountable to new alliances? Judging from these changes I would guess your answer would be no. That the older and larger alliances should rule null sec for time eternal.

As i mentioned in another thread, the drone bounties equal to that of pure blind rats when you take into account the lack of module drops.

A drone horde brings in around 30million which can be completed anywhere from 20-30mins by a single pilot, and this is in a -1.0 bit of space

Right now the drones are simply not worth it, they could really do with another 40% more bounty to be considered worthwhile. Either that or all other null sec gets 50% less bounty. This is going back to delve where you would get triple BS spawns each worth 1.8mil. Drone space is a much harsher place due to the distance to travel, so it should be worth more

Working as Intended™

Yup, it's a bit of a ballache to say the least. The bounty thing is fine but no loot at all? Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut there

My question is why even go to drone space to begin with? Even Impass is better than drone space.

Generally math favours those with more numbers and who are trained. What the **** is the problem?

I'm guessing that you're from a decently developed first world country. How would you feel if some spear wielding mad men came, killed the majority of your population and took over the place for their own?
