It would make it much easier to tell what my drone control range is if it would be written in the ship's attributes tab, instead of having to test it on distant objects out in space.

What do you think?

all ships have a base control range of 25km. It would be useful to see the final range after skills rigs and DLAs in the fittings window.

+1 ... also sort out the electronic warfare drone interfacing skill split it into 2 so the drone control range is its own skill and then add an advanced drone range skill so you don't have a massive deficit on range compared to turrets/missiles .. it makes sniping with sentries a tad difficult having to use drone augmentors..

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

+1 And including a the Drone Control Range under "Drone" below Navigation on the fitting window is a definite must.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

i was under the impression that drone control range was dependent on skills, not the hull? unless specifically bonused, of course.

Correct. But it would be pretty useful to have it displayed somewhere for quick reference.

Skills, modules, and the occasional hull bonus. It's as valuable as rig size, which is displayed, even though it's fixed. It should be displayed on all ships.

Yes, the ishtar is currently the only ship with a control range bonus.
