Now you only need NPC stations/constellations in deep drone 0.0.

a good start.

Now just add comparable low-end faction-loot to faction drone NPC's and a couple of new sites for drones and we are even.

Are Forbidden and forsaken versions of drone anomolies going to be added as well in Retribution?

Why do rats give sec status gains outside empire space? There's no CONCORD there, just like in wormholes.




Most CONCORD officers have nullsec alts in large alliances that need to make money. They're just looking out for their own.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

What is the drone control unit adding? I assume easier fitting, but other than that? +2 drones per module fitted?

I want to know this as well, easier fitting is all good I guess, but it doesn't feel like the drone control units are what usually breaks a carrier fit. What I mean is that unless it does something insane like adding +2 drones per module I don't see why anyone would like to fit it given the (I assume) very high price it'll get?

A really big step in the right direction. The drone regions were really horrible, now they're just below average for null (moon goo, jump distances, etc). Plus, shiny bits for carriers!

What you thought we would upgrade existing NPC? NAH! We are creating a whole new type of NPC that work like no other NPC in the game. >.<

+1 to St Mio .. would definitely make those sites runnable as compared to now =)

Also, the descriptions of the rogue drone officers would fit quite a few of the sociopa... *cough* capsuleers in Eve

This is great news! Big smile

Now, let's fix the other dead regions! Yes, im talking about Cloud/Outer Ring.

I don't live in the drone regions, and never will, but these changes are very welcome. Giving people in nullsec something else to fight over is always good for content creation. Correcting botched nerfs rather than stubbornly pretending you did the right thing sets a good precedent.

MFW I realize this is about drone regions, and not improvements to player controlled drones. Cry

Easier fitting is the only change, as in less CPU. No change to powergrid or other stats. I've commented elsewhere that fitting is a non-issue, but that went unanswered.
