Player Features and Ideas Discussion

The new fitting simulator looks quite usable but it lacks one tiny little feature - drones.

Maybe I didn't find them but when you want to make a simulated boat, you want to fit drones into the drone-bay or fighters into fighter-tubes.

Click the drone bay button at the bottom left.

You can drago and drop drones from the equipment pane on the left on to your ship, that drone type will populate in the drone bay list. From there you can use a type in to modify the number of drones in bay, and the little boxes to simulate which ones are deployed for the purpose of DPS and control bandwidth calculations

I'd like to note that its a bit annoying that you can't leave that little drone bay window open and have to constantly click it open when you wanna mess with it though. Be better if it was just a permanent tab like how EFT does it.

But that goes back to "CCP it should just do all the EFT things plxkthx" so for now I'm just happy it works as well as it does.

No, like, if you're messing around with it and testing dps with different drones and so on. You have to constantly click it open to remember if you have the meds, or the heavies, or whatever selected as "deployed" for DPS and ****.

Compared to the way EFT does this, which is a shittier interface for the drone bay window itself, but it stays open so you have a referene to look at while monkeying around with the rest of the fit.
