Does anyone else want to be able to fly the infected domi? Those little legs on the back just look like they belong there, overall much more attractive than the original ship.

I propose we add BPC's for an "infected dominix" with a slightly boosted drone bay and Omni resists.

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

Ive always wanted one as a pet.


Let super carriers launch infested dominixes instead of fighter bombers!

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

+1 Faction Drone mods and ships. Yeeeeeeeeeeah.

Wouldn't mind if they were just Faction skinned T1 hulls tbh like the Nefantar Thrasher, etc. Just look cool.

doesnt need to be a faction ship. just a special issue domi.

Without question, yes.

Absolutely. And since the drone technology rapes your brains, when the ship blows up it can take 20% of your SP with it.

Infested Dominix for the battle ship line, infested Vexor for the Cruiser line (yes I know there is no module for this yet) and infested Navitas for the frigate line (I know the Tristan is the frigate drone ship, but the modle for the navitas just looks so much more like a drone ship).

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Yes, I too want to fly a ship that doesn't need or want me to fly it. Seriously, instead of going through all the trouble of building a Drone Dominix, why not just drop yourself into a sentient woodchipper for a fraction of the cost but with the same results?

maybe just a visual differance of the basic domi will be fine.

Drone Faction Dominix, the only ship that can disobey your orders. But the cute little pincers make up for it.

Somehow I just had to imagine how one of those lands in a suburb of the late 1950', people screaming and running away, hysterical generals shouting at their tanks to kill it with fire and the Drominix looming over them all like a big black mountain with 8 spidereye likes headlights at it's front, having a bus full of people in it's left pincer, shoving it into it's maw and a beautiful damsel in distress in the other pincer or maybe in the other four pincers, smothering her with King Kong like affection.

Would be totally awesome. Big smile

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

My idea for a drone playable race:

They could be a more flexible set of vessels, much more dynamic but maybe less raw power.

Each 'ship' would consist of a central hull with armour, CPU, and power core.

Weapons would be in the form of drones that can be detached to attack as per combat drones, or remain docked and fire as turrets with greater dps (drawing more power from the ship to supplement internal power sources.

Shields would be in the form of shield drones, docked they have more raw shield HP, but undocked they can be assigned to defend against specifc incoming fire (work the same as reactive armour but for shields).

Repair systems are in the form of repair drones, covering both local (docked) repair and remote (undocked) repair. Docked drones repair more HP per cycle, undocked can be assigned to repair anyone else as per remote reps..

Bandwidth determines the number of drones that can be flown at any given time, and multiple drone types can be carried depending on storage (surface area of hull to cling on to). Drones would be activated in the same manner that drones are currently launched.

Drones would still use the same skill queue, gaining more sentience with each skill learnt. Naturally human prejudice would be prevalent at least initially with only drone hives, SoE and possibly Gallente being prepared to deal with sentient drones (SoE because they protect all life and Gallente because they want to learn better drone tech from them).
