As per topic here ARE the ideas... I wanted to keep this simple form as adding something new to the game. Always nice to add something new to enjoy the game of eve.


DRONE UPGRADES

Drone Control Unit T1 & T2 VS. Drone Assign Unit

Drone Control Unit T1 & T2
Gives you one extra fighter drone. You need Advanced Drone Interfacing to use this module, it gives you the ability to fit one drone control unit per level. (Would be allowed on any ship)

FACTS:
People use them all the time for both PVE and PVP as to sign fighters for combat uses.
IDEA OF CHANGE:
Module unit has been around for years maybe it's time we added a T2 type. At the same time we would need to make a need for this type of unit. Why the T1 would allow for one extra fighter drone. With T2 type it would allow use of one extra fighter bomber.
Other change which I would like to see would be allowed on sub-caps. Would it be worth to kill your DPS, power and or CPU for one fighter? or maybe two?

Drone Assign Unit 1
Gives you option to add more bandwidth. You need Advanced Drone Interfacing to use this module.. Can only be fitted to carriers and super-carriers. <-- I feel this would be over powering for sub-cap use.

FACTS:
People would maybe use this to fit for fighter bombers and or deploy one extra fighter with lack of bandwidth.

Fighters don't fit in any sub-cap's bay, why would they fit to launch one?

There are no T2 capital mods aside from siege types.

no fighters on sub caps and just because something does not have a t2 does not need a t2

What about giving T1 a penalty of e.g. 5% damage and T2 without any penalty but requirements like Adv. Drone Interfacing 5?
Officers mods could require level 4

What about a low-slot module to add yield to mining drones ? (/fly away)

Really you don't us geckos ? They sure look like a fighter and even do damage like a fighter shell we go on?

Your right their No tech 2 yet.. but their are t2 rigs. But until then maybe could give this modular T1 name for both?

Drone Fighter Control Unit T1?
Drone Fighter Bomber Control Unit T1?

Aww does the Gecko look like a fighter? maybe look at the stats its the size of a heavy drone you are not fitting a fighter in a sub cap drone bay



now i would be good with a mining drone upgrade

Damn with all the noise about how broken the Ishtar is imagine what would happen if they could field 8 or 10 drones instead of 5.

As one that uses a Rattlesnake for missions this could be a great thing. With the boosts it gets and being able to fly 3 or 4 drones instead of 2. I could get all giddy and stupid just thinking about it.

Oh and by the way -1 to this idea.
The ability to fly more than 5 drones is currently restricted to carriers and that is where it belongs.
