CCP Fozzie, have you or are you considering allowing players to assign logi drones to their own ships?


I won't rule it out, but we have no firm plans to allow such functionality that at this time.


Thanks for the reply.

I feel it would be fairly well balanced because with most ships, you would have to make a choice between dps, e-war and logi drones. It would also benefit small gangs/corps as they wouldn't have to bring dedicated logistics ships... I'll keep my fingers crossed for this future fix.

The hull drones are nice but they probably work far too slow to make them practical during combat. I may have asked this earlier but i'll ask again:-

How do you feel about adding hull rep drone bays to all logi ships and at the same time, giving logi ships a bonus to hull rep drones?

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

you would that would have been the first thing they would of thought of when making logi drones...

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

Ah but who are the truly manly-man hull tankers?

"Drone Repair Augmentor" rig... are these actually a thing? Does anyone actually use them?

Technically, the armor bots should be Amarr and the hull bots Gallente; the Gallente were originally hull tankers after all, hence their generally more even mid and lowslot layout and large pool of hull hitpoints.

Blanking signatures doesn't seem to work, so this is here.

I think it would be appropriate for Scythe and Exequror to apply their generic logi drone bonus to those hull rep drones which they don't do at the moment. Any plans on changing this?

Another idea: Give shield and armor logistics cruisers (T1 and T2) a bonus to hull repair drones! (And remote hull repair while we are at it?) Blink

I still think the hull rep drones should be Minmatar. Gallente may have been the hull tankers in the past, but Minmatar are it today. Gallente might have come up with hull repair drones back in YC108 or something, but they didn't. If hull repair drones were to hit the markets in YC114, one would have to assume they be from the Minmatar.

All drones are made by the CreoDron Corporation so....

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.
