Ive lost exactly 24km form my drone control range. Thought maybe it was a bug with the T2 link augmentor, slapped on a T1, same thing. Anyone else having this issue? 7 pages on the known issues thread and no mention yet, so Im wondering if my toon somehow got bugged or something.

What are your drone skills? 24 seems like a skill related number.

Advanced drone avionics to lvl 4. With my setup my geddon has always (like for a long time) had a range of 105K, now it's 81K. With a T1 mod it drops to 77, so it's a flat 24km. Like I said tho, it's been 105k forever pre-patch. Idk, its cramping my style tonight, lol.

I have not noticed anything similar. Dock up, leave the ship, clear cache and relog, try again.

Strange, Ive tried all suggest4ed steps as well as rebooted my machine on the advice of a friend. No dice. I know Im not mistaken here, I rub a DED or 2 every day, Ive always had 105k dorne control range, now it's a flat 24k less.

Petition sent, I just dont understand how or why it would only affect 1 toon. Ugh.

This may be a newbie question but how did you determine the control range?

The ingame system will notify you that "the target is outside your control range of XXkm" or something similar to that. Manually adding up the skill bonuses+modules, or using EFT also works.

24km is exactly the range benefit as you say of a Drone link Augmentor II. I assume you have two fitted sounds like one is out of action.

What is your drone control range in the Geddon if you have no DLA installed at all ? It should be 57km if you undock in a geddon with no rigs and no DLA with your skills.

Yeah orginally I thought it was the aug2. I turned it off, back on, docked, left ship, re-entered ship, even tried a different drone link aug. Cleared cache, rebooted. Nothing Sad

You must have TWO fitted to get 105km unless you have rigs.

Did you unfit and refit both ?

Basically at your skills:

with one DLA II -> 57km + 24 km = 81km
with two DLA II -> 57km + 48 km = 105km

Try repackaging. It deletes all individual data of the item and turns it into a generic placeholder.

Just target something a long ways away. Tell your drones to go get it. If it's too far away it'll say on the error message how far away it is and how far away you need it to be. That "need it to be" is the range you're working with - with the set up you're using. What's "way far away"? Try 135k. If you can hit at that range, I have to believe this question is a troll.
