Seems most all other fantasy based MMOs offer companions. They follow you around, help you in battle and provide some kind of buff like a pet. Sci fi movies offer robots and droids to do the same.

SciFi MMOs dont so this as much. So how about allowing Rogue Drone companions in EVE?

For a fee each month I can follow you around and help you in battle and provide some boost :P
But honestly I am not sure that this would fit in EvE at all.

Just pop this collar on, slip your hand in this jar and smear the contents on yourself and we shall begin.

I've got 5 pets of my choice, they're all called Hobgoblin II.

Granted, my pet naming system seems to spit out the same name for every Drone I own but so far I've never had any problems with them.

They almost aways follow my commands and very rarely do random stuff.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

For 500mil ISK a month, I will follow you around in my Velator and make obnoxious BEEP BOOP BEEP WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW sounds into your teamspeak/mumble/Eve-voice, and help wherever my Civilian Electron Blaster can provide that 3 dps edge in battle.



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

You would be more usefull in every single case where a tard alpha you before engaging the other player on grid. A complete waste of a full gun cycle.

Eve definition of a pet: a weaker willed corpmate who responds well to being shouted at.

Of corse if you 'r committed to the notion you could try positive reinforcement and see where that leads ...

Then they wouldn't be rogue anymore, they'd just be a drone. I got loads of those :)
