Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Now we have see art for the Sal. drones. ccp question's for for you.

The Nocits will it have a drone bay added so the only ship made to clean up salavage can use them and a if so will it only beable to fit sal drone's to keep it out of a combat / ewar / rr role all thou it would very small given use of drones.

I don't jump on-board for many change suggestions, but this is one I'd heartily endorse.

Faster clean up given i can then drop lock on the target after i set the drones on it and turn to another.

Clean up is all about speed faster to clean up the faster to and get to another missions and clean that one.

Oh can given they might add back in sal. drone skill book it they might add bonuses to the notics for sal drones as well.

Oh that and with the Helios drone bay i can still have a cloak and a probe launcher and one sal drone allong with my codebreaker and my analyer so i can do all the things need in probe site without having to refit and eather drop my cloak or my probe launcher so me and many other players have alot of questions on these drones

Who cares? Moar drones.

Need to know: Will a carrier fielding 15 salvage drones be effective?

after large fleet battle more then likey i would say.

New skill incoming: Salavge Drones Interfacing

Only in Minmatar space. ;)

Seriously:
Speed up the Noctis? I'm already sweeping battlefields like a clown-car full of janitors. What conceivable battle needs more than that?

I wouldn't mind a drone bay, just so I could bring 5 heavy combat drones to the party (hate swapping ships, and after using a Noctis, it's hard to go back to non-buffed TBs and salvagers).....make your own salvage opportunities indeed.

That said, I suppose if you could set them to auto-salvage all wrecks within like 15 km of the noctis, you could trade another salvager or 2 for more tractor beams, and just keep reeling stuff in while your drones eat it up.


I would also love to see removing the restriction on tractor beams for targeting claimed wrecks/cans. The reasoning behind it is stupid, you can still salvage a claimed wreck without penalty as long as you don't loot it (well, beyond them taking a shot at you in low or null sec), so why not just let you go ahead and reel it in too? People are supposed to have the option to be thieving ninja pirates if they damn well want to, so why is that one application given such a stiff restriction.

On the other hand, you probably wouldn't have as many salvage opportunities as ships could bring a salvage drone or two without hurting their fittings at all bringing salvager.

So they can be shot down by new NPC AI.
