how about giving us smart bomb style area of effect drone repair module with possible script for longer range drone repair but that would only be effective if the drones were grouped into one repairable group and if worried about drone tanking use the ai from WH npc.

or, fix them with standard RR modules?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

+1 my input, to prevent any sort of abuse, ie sentries would be just have a module that repairs all drones in bay. it could repair them one at a time if people would think that to cheap. also, I dont think it should be either a armor or hull rep, but both, lets not get too tedious here. they're tiny drones after all.

which also brings up s post I petitioned a while ago and during the small things for the update. ccp really needs to look at having drone health bars show while drones are "in bay"

(suggestion 1 is for drones)

was looking for a way of keeping drone's alive in combat for a little longer using a standard RR on drones is about as effective as hull tanking and proberly mostly done once combat has finished

Drones are designed to be defeatable. If you have a navy sentry drone with a few RRs on it, it will stick around awhile. In fact, a Navy Warden can tank a BS or two in a mission (granted I was flying a Navy Domi). Pump that up with rigs and skills and you could have some tough drones.

Now, a drone boat with a logistics bonus, that would be an interesting combination.
