Please provide more than just max drone damage in the fitting window! Your max drone conrol range is not listed anywhere! and given some ships have bonuses, that makes manual calculation a pain in the ***! Please include more info like range, speed, tracking and allow us to select stats for different flights of drones/fighters!!! please and thanks. WE NEED THIS

Edit: apparently a year ago this was mentioned in another thread. still hasnt come to fruition unfortunately. Guess i'm the A-hole

Even Capt. Caps Lock won't make your request less redundant or put them magically in the correct forum. Cool

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

No, we don't.

The following impacts drone control range.
20km base range (this is for all ships)
Drone Link Augmentors
Drone Avionics - 5km per level
Advanced Drone Avionics - 3km per level
If you're flying an Ishtar, you can add 5km per level of Heavy Assault Cruiser
If flying a carrier, you add up everything else and multiply by 2 for fighters and fighter bombers only.

It's not a pain in the ass to calculate drone control range, because unless you're in a carrier, it's simple addition. If you're in a carrier, it's simple addition with the added step of simply doubling the end result.

Alternately, you could use any or all of the various ship fitting programs and get all the information you want.

We do not need it but it would be great addition to all the other stuff that already shown in fitting window without player need to do calculations or fitting programs. They did this with Falloff, Range, ect. so might aswell do with drones.

Unlike falloff and range, drone control range is a fairly static variable. For example, I know that my drone control range starts at 54km, and this number applies to every ship I fly that isn't an Ishtar or doesn't have DLAs installed. I know that t2 DLAs, the only ones I use, add 24km each to my drone control range, and if I'm flying an Ishtar it adds 20km due to HAC 4. These numbers do not change, whether from swapping ships or effects of other modules.
