Hello,

Long story short:
I got Combat Drone Operation 3 on Live-server (this is 16000 SP) and Scout Drone Operation 5 (can use Warriors II).
After logging in today on the Test-server I gained 0 levels of Medium Drone Operation and got Light Drone Operation 3+ (16000/45255 SP, partially trained, cannot use Warriors II). Hammerheads II also went from usable to unusable.

The question is if this behavior is intended. If no, how one will gain levels in Light Drone Operation and Medium Drone Operation skills after patch will go Live.

Thank you in advance.

When did you train the skills becuase the test server dont use up to date skills and data i think Its set back around 2month or more so you cant scout any thing i might be wrong here
I dont use the test server that much or it might not have been added to the test server yet

Also on the Testserver you don´t get the Medium Drone skill automaticly. Join the Channel "Massmoveme" and type in Drones (as stated in that channel) and you will get light and medium Drone Skills to Lv.5

It looks like they took fresh copy of character database for this one. Or, at least, current skill queue.

Thanks, I'll try that and report back.

Edit:
Oh yeah, so no automatic skill points distribution for drone skills, only with help of Test-server GMs. Also text in "Massmoveme" channel doesn't reveal mechanics behind SP re-distribution, it simply states "You'll get level 5 of Medium/Light Drone Operation", so I assume re-distribution will go like promised somewhere on this forum: You'll get both Light and Medium Drone operation the same level as your maximum level out of two skills: Combat Drone Operation or Scout Drone Operation.

Right. If I understand the Defs in the Testserver-Subforum right, the automatic tool for splitting and creating the new skills isn´t working yet, so they use the bot for now on the Testserver.

By the way, questions like this are supposed to be written in the Testserver-Subforum.
