CCP should implememnt an anti drone Control unit. When activate it has 25% chance to turn drones that is agressing you back on the agressor. The module will hack at n optimal range of 30km and 65 fallof where the chance of turning the drone back on the agressor diminishes to 0%.

Drone Bandwidth Disruptor.

Targetted module that decreases target ships drone bandwidth by a certain percentage determined by meta of module. Drones that exceed the decreased bandwidth are dropped/abandoned.

Counters:

Reconnecting to drones after cycle is over.

Simply flying less drones than your bandwidth. Example: using a flight of 5 light drones (25MB) on a ship that has 50MB bandwidth.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

...And how is this balanced in any way? What's the counter? What can a droneboat do about it besides run?

Oh my, yet another lets nerf everything thread. You can already remove drones from space by pointing a missile or turret at it and preffing F1, heck even sicking your drones on their drones does the trick.

Or is this going to be yet another slowcat thread?

I like how people are attacking the symptoms of a "problem" (drones in general) and not the core "problem(s)" (RRing carriers and/or drone assist).

How did you Veterans start?
