Talking about drones, when are lowsec residents going to be able to use drone assist again?


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


Thanks for being clear and frank about saying, "no".

This kind of direct communication, including a good reason why it's "no" from the dev team is very welcome.

You are a shining example to game-developer-kind Fozzie.

Very nice addition. More ways to repair damage while in deep space means less docking up, fits with the future vision as I understand it.

Will the 100% bonus to Logistic Drone repair amount on the T1 Logistics ships apply to these drones? Will any of the T2 Logistics ships have a bonus to Hull Repair amount?

+1 on this, sorry to hear it's a lot of work. I thought it was a bug so I reported it.

Trying to get on killmails with drones while stuff is being alpha'd and disappearing almost as fast as you can lock, while running logistics at the same time is pretty tough. Admittedly I'm new at this, but I'm embarrassed by the number of times I've accidentally attacked my teammates Oops


As long as you kill one of your team-mates, you'll get on the killmail Big smile

Check the maths on how little rep drones actually repair. It's not more than a local module, and it's sacrificing significant DPS for the class of the ship to do so also.

It's more the principal on how Op drones have become without continuing to circle the drain.

You mistake one particular class of drone being OP in very specific large fleet circumstances with 'all drones are OP'. In fact you are wildly off the mark. A great deal of the drones are actually significantly UP in every application, hence why most drones see next to no use.

Why waste time and effort on this when it's extremely easy to drop a depot and refit a couple of hull rappers... There's a lot of drone stuff that needs work in regards to drones.

This doesn't take a lot of work. It's a small change that improves the game in a small way for a small amount of effort.

Pretty much the ideal definition of a "little thing" that's worth doing.

No other drone type is capable of acting on the owner of said drones. I don't foresee this happening ever. It would have some very serious negative ramifications on numerous combat types/roles/fittings (think small gangs where active armor is already pretty good again - finally).

NB4 triple-rep Myrms/Ishtars + medium repair drones (etc etc etc) as an example (easily close to 1000ehp/s repped if you include medium armor drones).

I'm right behind you
