I think it's wonderful and a great addition that'll make the game more fun.

Enlighten me pls, how exactly will this make the game more fun for a majority of players? Or did you mean yourself? Really, I tried many careers and I fail to see how this would help mission grinding carebear, or low-sec camping pirate, or industrialists or those engaged in FW

There are FEW ppl who will find this SLIGHTLY useful, yes. Like CTA-fleet logis who will be able to rep hull of damaged ships AFTER battle which happens not so often, cos most of the time you either rep them from shield/armor or they just die from alpha-strike. Sometimes it can help to rep structures, but only small ones. With these numbers of repaired hp/sec it will take ages to rep large POS tower for example. So you need to bring capitals anyway.

Therefore as for me it's pretty much waste of dev's time and efforts. There are many more things to add or fix in the game.

good call.
will add my voice to some T1 /T2 logi getting bonuses for these drones plz.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

It doesn't seem like it's the kind of change that would take a lot of time or effort to implement. It's a small change, and the nice thing about small changes is that they don't drain resources from bigger changes.

Now just extend drone damage bonuses (from ship hulls) to drone ewar strength, drone rep strength, and add t2 ewar drones.

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

I'm more disappointed that these items took so long to implement.

Better late than never

and the partial list of drone centric rigs/implants need filling out as well

and there's the combat utility drones that could do with a T2 & Faction make over
why no Amarrian/Blood Neut Drone etc.
why no Gallenete/Serpentis S-Damp Drones, or Caldari/Guiristas ECM Drones etc

adding these drone variations through Pirate/FW stores makes sense, regular Empire stores could also get the main variants at higher price/conversion points too.


at least this a good start on addressing the poor state of drone affairs.

The only negative thing about it i can think off is that they probably will be more effective then remote hull repairers...
But instead of that i'm just going to give you a hug and say thank you!

*hugs* Thank you!

Any chance of looking at:

Amarr or Caldari combat drones?
Neut, TD, Web, TP, or SD drones?

Why would I complain about hull repping drones?
It is a logical extension since we have ship based hull reppers.

That being said, this does not make up for the devastation he has caused in so many other areas.

i hope this opens a door for hull tanking.....at least a buffer hull with help from hull repping drones could prove viable.....since hull reppers as a whole are garbage right now..... :(
