EVE General Discussion

Before this goes any further:
This topic is purely a fluff request. I am only talking about aesthetics and lore not any actual game play changes.

This may be in the wrong place.

I want descriptions for all drones and additional skins for T2 and especially integrated and augmented drones.

There, I said it.

I love drones. They are my tiny, try-hard, throw-away friends. They are handy and act as either a primary or secondary source of DPS on a lot of hulls for a wide variety of tasks.

I also love EVE lore. I love taking a moment after putting together a fit and before undocking to die horribly to check out a ships description or even a module that I hadn't taken the time to read. I like the mini-history lesson some ships or modules give. I have been playing for six years and these descriptions and background info still tickle and fulfill me when read.
I see the devs going out of their way to make this a visually stimulating game experience even while bitter vets nay-say and claim this is all spreadsheets and potato mode. So after seeing the new damage effects on sisi I figured this would be a good time for my request.

I often wonder where drones come from. When rogue drones became a thing I thought surely more lore/description would follow but it didn't. I mean does Creo-dron make all the drones. If there are faction based variants shouldn't there be multiple research and development corps and facilities and if so lets include this on our little automated friends.

The Gecko is basically what I want to happen for all drones. Even if it is a generic "Light drones are designed for this" text followed by a small blurb about the faction/corp that developed the thing. Similar to the descriptions on specialized ships like marauders and bombers.

I think the new skin plea is self-explanatory. I mean one of the few descriptions found for a drone is the integrated and augmented variant . It informs you that these drones are either modified or completely unrecognizable from their previous form and then you view the things and... all models are identical. BAM! Soul crushed.

I know most drones are dragged and dropped in bays across New Eden only to be spat out a drone bay (thank you sooo much CCP for adding these to hulls *cough cough dominix! cough*) becoming rapidly moving icons on a pilot's screen. This argument existed for many of the visual effects devs had improved and implemented in-game and I think it sucks. These improvements don't hinder those who do not care for them but add an extra layer of satisfaction for those of us who do.

Giving drones some flesh and blood?

I see no way in which this can possibly go wrong.
