pretty much these are going to make my pimp rattlesnake even more pimp.. but thats about it...

The damage mod for sure. Revenant w/ Shadow Bombers + Drone Officer Damage Mod? You don't think so? What about 5x DCUs?

i will highlight the important stuffz

This module is for combat drones, not fighters or bombers

5 regular dcu is just as good as the best officer dcu...

as it stands the mod is useless

Why is that exactly? Are drone mods being changed to affect fighters and fighter bombers?

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Please make the Drone Control Units a passive module. It uses no cap, but for some reason you have to activate it to use it. Unless there is a good reason it should not be. If so, please explain why. Thanks!

I can not stress enough that sec status increase should only occur from NPCing in low security space.

First off, look what you've done CCP, even the commonfolk can't spell ROGUE anymore.

Also, there ARE Rogue drone faction ships.

Rogue Drone FACTION (sentient) Battleships. Also navigate through this link to see battlecruiser, cruiser, etc, variants.

You're welcome.

Useless text as they are not published /facepalm.


Here's another link for you, that has more tangible hard stats on it.

I don't know what you mean by not published, considering they have been in the game for ~7 years.

"I can not stress enough a personal opinion I have on the way things should be changed."

This post belongs in the suggestions/ideas forum as a thread, not a derailing point in this thread... For the sake of discussion though, I can not stress enough how much I disagree with the change you desire.

Not to sound greedy, but is that all the changes coming to drone regions?

Just asking from an exploration stand point that I thought I read somewhere changes were going to be made/added to drone regions exploration sites?

If not, all this does sounds great =3

but
I just have a probing addiction I need to fill =D

Damn straight! =D
But you are making us work harder with the NPC AI changes so overall we will see.

This, I dont see the point of only slightly reducing the CPU the Drone control unit uses. Why not make it allow 2 fighters at once and make it a proper officer beast of a module?

Have you guys (CCP) considered what to do with the Drone DED sites failing across new eden yet?

This is all well and good for the nulseccers, but drone sites are still generally going to be ignored everywhere else ...

I really hate to admit it, but this hits the nail on the head .... they really don't know the mechanics of their own game.



When drones stopped dropping materials that could be refined, the new loot/sec status/bounties should have replaced it. I don't know why CCP isn't forward thinking enough to say "If we take away something, what should we replace it with?". The sad part is what they finally replaced the material drops with isn't even worth looting now.


Sometimes I really wonder who is in charge ......



Long live the failure of "Unified Inventory"!

I hope next time CCP will smoke better stuff and make some usable things in drone regions.
Officers with useless DCU - its nothing. A huge work with DED drone plex'es needeed.
Today they are useless too, like officer DCU, lol

New DCU will be completely useless with reduced CPU requirements. Looks like CCP guys never tried to fit a carrier/supercarrier. I never had troubles wtih CPU there. Officer DCU needs better stats, may be a small bonus to fighter/FB damage. Or it will be worth nothing, because noone will really need it.

Speed bonus on DCU mb for f\fb.

And btw what about anomalies? Will they provide officer spawn too? Or only belts? ("asteroid drone officer" on the image in blog)

Officers spawn only in belts.
