I would first off, like to congratulate CCP on implementing my request for Advanced Infomorph Psychology skill to a T.

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3449355#post3449355

Thank you from the bottom of my booster alts little black heart.

Now I come to the forums asking for something else.

IMPLANTS.

There are implants of every type for missiles, lasers, hybrids, turrets, mining, repping, remote repping, cap needs, etc etc etc...

There are implants for pretty much darn near everything but DRONES. DRONES! DRONES?

CCP. WHY ARE YOU NO IMPLEMENT DRONE IMPLANTS?

Implants for every type of drone, damage bonuses, ewar, repping, falloff bonuses, tracking bonuses? Drones are weapons too! It can't be THAT hard!

SO I implore you. Can we has drone implants pretty please? It would halps the PVP peoples. It would benefit the PVE peoples.

CCP SEAGULL, MY DRONES DESERVE IMPLANT BONUSES.

Please and thank you...

Signed,

A concerned EVE Citizen who loves her drones.

Fully Agreed... Us Drone boats need some implant love to... since were talking about Drones, I would love to see on the re-balance new Effects done on them.. Aka Racial Damage.. Cal drones fire missiles/rails.. Amarr drones firing Lasers.. All now you see is Rails/projectiles for the most part.. would LOVE to see a flight of Amarr drones Beaming away on enemies, or Flights of Cal drones Launching missiles at targets.. More shiny Effects happier I am! Plus it Differentiates the drones from each other and adds more to that racial separation!

The implants allow you to put a spiky collar on your drones or a bell :P

To be fair, Drones already are insanely good, especially on bonused hulls. The Domi in the recent AT showed that pretty well.
If CCP ever were to introduce Dronerelated Implants they probably would have to nerf the Hullbonuses on those ships.

My Condor costs less than that module!

I'm not a fan of drones but if I am forced to use them, where are my faction Drone Damage Amplifiers?

I can get faction heat sinks, magnetic field stabilizers, ballistic control systems, and gyrostabilizers. Where are the DDAs?

Also implants.

Yes, but implants aren't cheap either. Most PVP people will only spring for the cheap ones because of clone losses, CCP should nerf drone hulls (they have already) but should also provide implants.

Mining drones, Salvaging Drones, Combat Drones, Sentry Drones, Rep Drones - they all deserve some implant boosting love!

Also pirate-faction drone mods, not just drone officer mods, and also deadspace drone link augmenters.

I think the answer is a general Drone Rebalance. Something that not only included implants and faction modules, but while reconsidering drone racial characteristics, UI, etc. so the game wouldn't be broken.

That would be amazing.

I cant imagine any drone damage implants though. Sentries seem to be where every cruiser to BS sized fleet is putting their money.

I would like to see an implant that increases speed to target, they are slow and the medium drones are abysmal watching them motorboat out to an enemy cruiser. You have time to get up and make a sandwich, provided they actually go after I have spammed my attack target hot key 10 times.

I'm fine with implants and faction modules, providing certain other things are balanced. Namely the mechanics around drone assisting. The whole lot could do with an overhaul really.

Drones don't need more damage.

HOWEVER, EWAR drones need more EVERYTHING.

Caps helps CCP see better. They sit in florescent lighting all day in front of screens, bad for your eyes.

Fix EWAR drones.

Ewar drones except for ECM drones right? It has come to the point where every non Gallente ship in fleet doctrine including logi are carrying hornet ec-300.

I feel like I should be the only player to be able to use ECM drones.

Drones don't deserve implants.

They deserve a full rework, implants included. They are, at present, one of the most dated mechanics in EVE.

I am also curious why I can get an implant for any type of turret, but none for drones. The only thing I use a turret for on my Gila is to get NPC aggression...
