After the new build, Odyssey, there is a horrible delay when launching drones. The delay occurs when you right-click your drone group. Usually, when you right click a drone group, you instantly get the drop down menu to launch drones etc., however, this is now delayed. It sounds like a minor problem, but if your in the heat of pvp, this is a massive problem. Countless times I have had my drones simply not launch because of this. This really needs fixing asap. The bug can be replicated by simply attempting to launch drones in the current build. Thank you.

If only there was a place where Devs were taking feedback on issues with the odyssey expansion so GD did not get filled with random chaff.

Oh, wait, there is:

this has been reported multiple times on the correct forums, and it appears to be fixed on the last SiSi build.

hopefully on Mondays DT it will roll on to TQ

I've noticed this too, was going to report it tonight after DT if it wasn't fixed. I find that having it right-clicked while in warp so that the cursor is hovering over "launch drones" by the time you land is a decent enough work-around for now, but it doesn't work all the time and sometimes deploying drones the moment you come out of warp is not entirely tactically brilliant, so hopefully they've got a fix coming soon.

As Doc says, it's best to post about these things in the issues thread, but I can tell you that it has been fixed, and I think the fix is going out tomorrow.

And of course everyone likes ponies!

Since it's been broken and fixed multiple times, perhaps someone could put a note in the code to stop breaking it?

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Not too mention if people don't like a post the best way to make it go away is to NOT post in it Lol

Confirming I have the same problem. The delay is really terrible.

You probably ought to post that in the correct thread too. The rabble is getting rowdy over here where the bug has not even been acknowledged.

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.

I beg to differ. Ponies are the reason why the human race is going into the shitter.

I don't think it's a bug, It's probably a feature. It's an improvement to Drone AI, the "delay" is really the drones saying to each other "do we REALLY want to leave this ship when all that's going to happen is this guy is going to die OR warp off before we can get back?".

Next patch the drones will refuse to deploy and start to unionize. It's how Rouge Drones happened in the 1st place. Remember guys, be good to your drones and they....will still be stupid and shoot the wrong things.

Being a fan of twitch shooters. Those valuable fractions of a second add up. If there's an intentional delay. It best put out more power.
