Test Server Feedback

This is an OUTRAGE
*thumps desk*
Yer, OK not really, but you communicate this stuff in the strangest way. I thought men were supposed to be concise, direct, logical etc, despite your strange communication skills and frankly, bizarre use of hairstyling products.

Please

• update the Devblog with the correct info
• in future relink all adjustments in the blog/OP asap* rather than haggling in threads
• resubmit the adjustments to blog listings so people are alerted to change(s)

*there are way too many adjustments to monitor these feedback threads and still have time to live

I might say thanks if you obey. Then you can have the hose.

Really good question there.

With the split, if they move it under one of the new skills, some people are liable to lose access to this module or require some strange training to get access to it (putting it under Light or Medium Drones would require that type to be trained - when you plan on using Sentries? ...)

Kinda sad to hear this. While I personally don't lose skills or access to anything I trained. I do lose the advantage I got over pilots who have not trained to the same level of skills as me. It is very disappointing to watch a combat advantage be stripped from people and gifted to others.

If someone with SDO 5 and CDO 1 is being given the exact same capacity to use drones as someone with SDO 5 AND CDO 5, that doesn't seem like it is keeping the status quo the same...

As such there is most certainly something that players should be compensated for. You are essentially giving 10 days of training out to people that I spent the time on for the sole purpose of having an advantage over those who did not.

When you guys gave everyone the same base Learning Skills you returned SP to people who had them trained, those who had higher levels got more, those who didn't train them got them, but no SP. I don't see why this isn't any different, you are gifting people CDO 5.

(It also works in the inverse for people who for whatever reason have SDO 1 and CDO 5.)

I'm wondering, previously you have said, the highest of Scout Drone operation "or" Combat Drone operation will be translated to Light Drone operation and Medium Drone operation.
Currently on Sisi my toons with Scout Drone operation 5 and Combat Drone operation 5 have Light Drone Operation 5 and Medium Drones unlocked to train.
Yet 1 toon I have has Scout Drone operation 5 and Combat Drone operation 3 and only has Light Drone Operation 3

I know the script hasn't been run on Sisi but my question is - Will combat Drone Operation override Scout Drone Operation as it still says in the Blog, or is your update in "giving drones an assist" the correct way in which the skills will be applied.

Scout Drone Operation 5 & Combat Drone Operation 3 = Light Drone Operation 5 & Medium Drone Operation 5.

That's one way of saying it. My head started to hurt around page 4 in that thread and I jumped ship. I just now skimmed the last few pages and I've decided I was very lucky to do so.

Sometimes I think you guys are saints, I sure as hell would flip my **** long before page goddamn thirty-one of that masterpiece of circle-jerking.

can some one update if the medium drone operation will need trained or will it be updated to are skill sheet if so when will it be updated . thanks in advance

I think the lack of feedback to the problem is what is causing people to be angry, in the past, whenever a skill has been removed or changed, players have received maximum reimbursement for SP. I.e. When learning skills were removed, when the social skills were refined into 3 separate skills, battlecruiser/destroyer changes, etc.

Now we have an issue where if you have Combat Drone Operation 5 AND Scout drone Operation 5, you are effectively losing the 512,000 SP you invested into Combat Drone Operation 5. I think many players trained for, and were recommended to, train for Combat Drone Operation as it would have been a good investment for their SP.

I understand that you don't want to lock out players from Tech II Lights/Mediums if they can already use those Drones.

Perhaps you could do a simple check and reimburse SP to unallocated SP if a Player has both Scout Drone Operation and Combat Drone Operation at the same level?

I.e.
IF
Scout Drone Operation is EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN Combat Drone Operation;
Any SP in Combat Drone Operation is moved to unallocated SP.
Light Drone, Medium Drone, and Drone Avionics become same level as current Scout Drone Operation
ELSE
Any SP in Scout Drone Operation is moved to unallocated SP.
Light Drone, Medium Drone, and Drone Avionics become same level as current Combat Drone Operation.

I think this would be the absolute fairest method to deal with this.
