I would just like to thank the alliance tournament and all of their contrived rules for this change to the main Tranquility server. We couldn't have nerfed the main drone ship without you, AT XI.

In other news, drone mechanics remain neglected. Also, unlike probes (commendations to Team Super Friends), sentry drones remain on the field after the ship enters warp, docks, or jumps. On the positive side, we are being allowed to drag and drop as long as we are very careful about dropping exactly on the Drones in Bay section.

I took a sentry domi into a few level 4s today to see the effect of this change:

- still able to kill frigates at 10km with gardes? Yup!
- still able to blap stuff at 74km with gardes? : Yup! ( occasionally they miss now at this extreme range )
- any real difference since the change? : Nope
- local rep improvements make the missions easier? : Yup!

for the record my mission/sanctum domi is this:

350mm rails, x5
drone link augmentor

fed navy omni x2
AB
cap recharger x2

DC II
nano membranes x 2
reactive hardener (saves playing about in stations)
drone damage mods x 2
C-type LAR (makes up for resist inefficiency).

cap rigs
nano pump

drones:
gardes and warriors.

NO!

The plural of bonus is bonuses

Anyone who tells you otherwise is an uneducated pretentious idiot.


Maybe he was talking about multiple errections?

As someone who was training to fly a Domi, and still is, I have no qualms about this change. It's simply not that big of a deal. Domi's before got slightly better than 2 Omnis for free. They now get roughly 2 omnis free, when you incorporate stacking penalty on the Omnis. Seems fair.

Now, the bigger issue is that Domis still look like upside down moldy shoes.... can we get an ETA on fixing that?

(Also, FWIW, I'd rather have the tracking bonus on drones than literally any other bonus that could be in that spot. Domis as the dedicated drone boats is just fine by me.)

Hi guys,

I as well have some small requests, don't know how good, bad or implementable might be, ... just my 2 cents.

1) I would Like Noctis and Primae to be able to fit Covert Ops Cloaking Devices, will bring true value to this ships and make them shine. In the worst case scenario at least for Primae otherwise it's losing it's purpose to other ships.

2) When neural Remap is not available, make a Purge button, which will force a neural remap at the cost of Plex, or Aurum.
I think will come under CCP advantage, as people only to shave off a couple of days of research time will be ready to use a Plex.
You could even make it even more costly, by making a story around it, when Purge is used, the process is so strenuous on the psyche that ALL clones will lose compatibility with implants, therefore all implants will be lost.
You could even add a skill for a chance of not loosing your implants. Etc...
Even if the cost will be to high that no one will use this feature, at least WE the players are given the freedom to chose.

3) Talos - add 7.5% bonus armor repair take one Rig slot away, due to fact that Galente is oriented towards armor tanking.
Do similar changes to all other factions.
This one is probably the most stretched, so i don't have hope for it.

Thank you for taking your time to read my post.

Domi model should be next for a facelift. It's old and terribad looking now.

The only thing it is now that it was not before is old.

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.
