This can only end with more capital lossmails.

I fully endorse this.

On balance, I might have to suggest that it would be restricted to sub-cap hulls, because, as you rightly point out, the number of capital lossmails will increase hilariously. This would be in the interests of balance.


Having said that, though, I would encourage CCP to allow them on carriers, so that the tears flow more freely.

all polarized weapons are the close range variant of the weapon class. Drones would be long range. I don't think CCP wants that.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Actually, thinking about it more, you might be able to make a case for this fictional Polarised Drone Module applicable only for non-sentry drones. If the polarised modules are only for the short range variants, light/medium/heavy drones are arguably the short-range drone variant, as they still must spend time MWDing to their target, much as you would if you ship was fitted with blasters or ACs.

The Polarized module could simply enforce a cap on drone control range in the same way it limits resists.
