Then also please add 4 more guns to Vargur and keep 100% damage bonus. For the great justice! :3

I'm going to pre-empt the common counter-argument that that Domi shouldn't have 10 drones by saying that the Domi is not widely used in the large, blobby, lag-fests.

Also, 10 drones with no 20% bonus is better than 10 drones with a 20% bonus.
Why?

Why more drones that don't work correctly? It's hard enough to keep 5 doing more or less what they're supposed to be doing.

I'm kinda surprised that, with all the recent FiS attention, drones are still at their worst behaviour. I'm starting to doubt that they'll even be fixed by the winter expansion. Imagine if turrets disengaged from a target and started shooting something else at random how irritated you'd be and how fast they'd be patched.

With TiDi this may become viable.

Id rather see the race lauded as masters of drone warfare have options that don't border on mundane.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.

One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.

Drone boats should get to use 10 drones... mostly because 5 drones wont get 1000 dps as a nightmare... take the rattlsnake as an example :P remove the missles and allow 10 drones :D that should put it around 900 dps.

uh-huh, way to overpower the drone boats and lag-out nodes both in the same stroke!

That is all.

Sure, if we can get torpedoes/ cruise missiles damage back to the beloved year of 2003 Roll

well if not 10 drones atleast give the drone boats more drone damage, like instead of 10 per skill level make it 20-25 per skill level :D

The Scope

indeed, it is quite irritating that you are currently not limited by drone bandwidth only. if the only reason has been server lag, this is an implementation issue and should be dealt with but have no impact on game mechanics.

maybe rename the thread headline to broaden the scope from the domi towards advanced drone interfacing/drone bandwidth?

then you might want to check my suggestion drone combat: assign rules to groups

In which I rant briefly on the likes of race conditions and ****-poor state-based behaviour:

etc..

In summary, CCP is well aware of the defect and apparently can't be arsed to fix it let alone get back to the community on the lack of progress.

Edit: ...and fix your damned bbcode parser while you're at it, CCP! :P
