Battleship 'changes' (probably nerfs) coming in the summer rebalance. More drones is a bad thing though, because it means more server strain. 1 ship plus 5 drones is 6 entities, all firing weapons, flying around, being targetable, etc. Excluding missiles, on a 500 person fleet flight, that's a potential 3000 entities, instead of just 500. Now give them the ability to have double the drones, and you're looking at 5500, instead of even just 3000. Gets very bad, very fast.

Nope, especially since Drone Interfacing essentially gives you an extra drone per level.

My point exactly. But you didn't explain why you are against ships with more than 5 drones.



drone interfacing gives you another drone per lvl IF you fit a Drone Control Unit I, and that only works on a carrier/sc
