AOE damage on all ship and missile explosions will solve the drone-induced lag issue.

~~The CFC~~


Pre-Loads system with ~500 ships that each have 10 drones (hrrrm, 1000x5 vs. 500x10), launches and recalls fighterbombers and sentries repeatedly.

Gets free turkey shoot while overwhelming force sits in warp tunnel.

p.s. I didn't mention the thousands of drones in each carrier

Oh the wonders of tinfoil.

Tinfoil???Where is the conspiracy?

It was CFC who jumped Dreads into the overloaded grid not N3PL. That happened its not a narrative, or a conspiracy. It was just a dumb tactical decision.

I mean you can see the exact moment that the Dreads clicked jump on the Graph. That massive spike in load is 700 Dreads all asking for the location of the ~15K on grid objects at the same time.

You can also see the moment that the CFCs heart broke....30 tidi seconds later when the node didn't snap and load kept spiking.

84% worse performance compared to 6VDT which had more people

because of drones

dun dun dun

In 6VDT there were 21,123 unique drones deployed into the system, while in HED there were 38,852. For the division-impaired, that's an 84% increase. That number probably doesn't directly translate to an 84% increase in the number of active drones on field at any given point, especially given the extended duration. Even so, it does indicate a substantial increase in drone usage in HED over 6VDT.

Now, for why that's a problem. Drones plainly do more than just guns – guns go pewpew, drones approach, orbit, go pewpew, then come back and like do some decision making of their own along the way. Yes, even sentry drones do these things
