I honestly see nothing wrong with this idea, and have on more than one occasion wished I had these.

6.40. Hull Maintenance Drone

Trivial to implement, CCP is not opposed to the idea but they'll have to get that through the art department who will want, as is requested of them, new models and/or textures for the drones to be unique. Depending on their evaluation it may or may not take time. [CCP edit: It is necessary to reiterate the point that introducing new models and/or textures is not a trivial thing to do and is very time consuming.]

Seems this got somehow lost. Maybe make a new topic over in the assembly hall. Those drones are kind of missing.

This would be good for Wormhole players that dont want to fit a medium remote rep, and since there are already drones for shields and armor, there should be some for hull.

I dont see anything too difficult with making three simplistic 3d models, some textures and applying the same physics to it as other repper drones and the same lighting effect a hull repper. Webber drones are a re-coloured version of berserkers, armor recoloured gallente drones, shield -> caldari drones.... why not just recolour some amarr drones? Its not like they have some imepeccable standard to uphold thus far.
