Suggestion: Remove auto-attack and "aggressive mode" from drones, and make NPCs ignore them.
Keywords: Drones, AI, Combat, PvE, AFK, Auto-Attack, Aggression, NPCs

This would at once solve all of the problems with "AFK drone ships" and all of the annoyances of flying a drone boat in the present state of PvE. It would place drones on the same level playing field as all other primary weapon systems in PvE, while still allowing players to counter drones by shooting them (something they can't selectively do with any other weapon system). Bonus points if you also remove or limit the drone assignment mechanic to kill the 250-ship-alpha problem with sentry fleets.

EvE is supposed to suck.  Wait . . . what was the question?

Make painter drones and sensor drones get stacking penalties separate from their ship mod brothers. Ie so that having 3 damps on someone won't stacking penalty sensor damping drones into the ground.

would make it so that they arn't utter trash and relevant to some degree.

Suggestion: change Sentry Damage Augmentor rigs to increase all drone damage instead of just sentries.
Keywords: rigs, drones

I can only assume this was something that was overlooked when drone damage amplifiers were introduced...it makes as much sense as having rigs that only increase the damage of large artillery turrets.

Suggestion: make jumping via jump drive have spool up time bass on mass of ship jumping. This would move jumping to a transportation role and out of aha king role.

Suggestion: Allow ships in your hangar to use their full cargo capacity without them being active. Right now, there is a limit of about 5,500m3 or so. If you make a freighter active, and fill its cargo hold to capacity (say 13,000 m3), then make another ship active, that freighter still has 13,000 m3 in the hold. Dragging 13,000 m3 worth of stuff onto an identical empty freighter that is not active will only allow the 5,500 m3 restriction.

Weird.

Can this be fixed or is there a reason for this?

Suggestion: Change the Sentry Drone: make two states, "detailed" and "movement." Expanded - Battle Mode. Movement - just move, fight is not possible. Unloaded, unfolded. After the fight, turned and gave the command to return to the ship.

Suggestion: Изменить Sentry Drone: сделать два состояния, "развернутое" и "движение". Развернутое - боевой режим. Движение - только перемещение, бой не возможен. Выгрузил, развернул. После боя свернул и отдал команду возврата на корабль.

Suggestion: Allow for multiple (tabbed?) selected item/ship windows (The window with the align to/warp/keep at range/orbit/etc buttons). It would be cool to select your warp out on one, tab to another for combat, then when its time to warp out, tab back to the warp out selected item and simply hit warp. This might also be handy for fighting multiple combatants.
