Found it for you :)
It was initially about the universe data migration so I edited the quote for readability.

CCP Lebowski wrote:
What is this universe data[...]?
The universe data contains, for example: the positions for all systems, planets, gates, asteroid belts and the asteroids in these belts.
[...]
There are many systems in EVE which use the universe data in some, sometimes unexpected, way. The path finder, for example, is also used in the market! [...] maybe you will find something broken in a weird corp function or when trying to use a titan portal. This [...] is huge and touches almost everything


Are they preparing the new buildable stargates? A rewamp of SOV? The opening of Jove Space???


...


I personally think that they are just testing the Titanomachy graveyard :D

CCP, have you thought about doing cap transfer drones? I think they'd be pretty cool.

Is there going to be ships with bonuses towards Hull tanking/Hull repair?

If not, think about it a little bit!

This has been a long, long, LONG time coming, (I remember seeing threads asking for these from 2005) so yeah, I think it's wonderful and a great addition that'll make the game more fun.

It's almost as if the whole 'lets bring some common sense to ships and module rebalancing has found it's way into drones.

GOOD.

Please keep it up CCP Fozzie AND CCP, I know Fozzie has a love/hate relationship with many players because of the old 'you can't please ALL of the people ALL of the time' stuff. But this change was needed, and after years of asking for it (I think even a few months ago I seriously asked for it again myself, heh) I'm glad that we'll see them hopefully enter the game for the next patch.

My only question is this:

CCP Fozzie I know there won't be tech 2 bpo's for these, all will come from invention, but will there be a chance to see named hull repper drones some how or isn't that something you want to tackle at this time?


Thanks for another addition that was sorely needed.

Also thanks for throwing these in, it has always felt like something that should be in the game.

What? You're just crazy. This is a great new addition and fills some holes in game mechanics and environments that have been there forever.

Fozzie what race of drone will they be made from? Or will they be totally new design?

Trying to stay only positive in this post because it is truly a good addition to the game. SmileStraightX

. . .

Argh, I can't do it. I must mention my bewilderment at the non-ecm ewar mod nerfs. Really, why the hell did you guys nerf those mods? Ecm is so much better still. And if you are determined to nerf the mods, why not nerf them further, BUT counter buff the specialized ships for those mods.

Also, immobile easily destructible sentrys don't need nerfing through nerfing omnidirectionals. Nerf carrier drone capacity through creating a specialized fighter bay or something. And nerf drone assist.

. . .

Sorry couldn't, wouldn't, stop myself.P But yes, hull repair drones are a great and welcome new addition to the game. ThanksSmile

CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting off button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

We'll keep it to T1 and inventable T2 for now, but adding more variants of all repair drones is definitely an option for the future.

Very nice. Smile

Will they have own drone models or will the use standard scout drone models?
Individual models für support drones (similar to the salvage drones) would be nice.

The issues surrounding clearly communicating the crimewatch implications of that capability makes it more trouble than it would be worth for now. Sorry.

About fracking time CCP Fozzie! ha ha. Jokes aside a fantastic addition to the game that we've wanted for a long time.

Glad to see T1 and T2 coming online at the same time and not just a T1 "See how it goes" malarkey.

GJ guys +1.

is removing drone assist altogether more trouble than it's worth?
