We have another change to Damps that we plan to put in a later patch, and this tweak should both lay the groundwork for that change and help keep Damps balanced in the meantime.

Wonder if those changes to the Nestor will really make much of a difference. Have yet to undock mine because right now, they're just gank bait with the prices being high as they are. Hopefully they become more popular with the changes, and make the prices drop so it makes it feasible to actually fly around.

Anyway you could give an estimate of the size of the patch? (I apologize if this is listed somewhere already.) One of these patch days my SSD is going to be out of room What?

Reposting part of this response from the discussion thread on Drone Assist, as I don't think it ever got addressed. Just setting a hard cap of 50 is a lazy fix, and will introduce more problems that haven't potentially been addressed.

Quote:
OK so real questions hopefully about this change that need answering. Hopefully these issues were already discussed and solutions planned to be implemented with the change. Please don't introduce a problem and then promise to "iterate" a solution later. That hasn't worked so well for the Rapid Missile Launchers, as seen by the ongoing threadnaughts.

When you assist drones to another player currently, there's no way to tell who has drones assisted to you, and how many, other than that the drones cluster around that pilot's ship. It wasn't as important, since there was no limit. However now, this raises some concerns now that we have to micromanage the assists to fit the limit, and need some tools and UI tweaks to be able to do that.


How will a "drone bunny" know who has drones assisted to them, and how many?

a. Will there be an indication in the fleet window, such as a drone icon, that will show members who have drones assisted to them? This would be helpful for quick reference, if the intention in fleet is to only have drones assisted to one person per squad.

b. Will there be an expanded group in the Drone UI for the "drone bunny" to show a summary of the number of currently Assisted Drones so they will easily know once they've reached their limit of 50?

c. Will the "drone bunny" have the ability to force unassist of drones from a player who assigned them incorrectly, or will lazy/incompetent fleet members DDOS the assist cap, requiring further micromanagement?

How will the drone owner know what is going on with their assisted drones?

a. If a fleet member attempts to assist their drones to a "drone bunny" who has already reached the 50 drone cap, will they get an error message?

b. Can the successful assist be verified by having the Drone UI show "Assisted to X" as the current Drone status, as well as showing if it is Idle, Returning, Engaging, etc? If only some of the drones are assigned, will the player be able to tell which are assigned and which aren't?

Will drone assist be fixed so it works properly in Lowsec with Crimewatch? Currently my assisted drones never attack when the "drone bunny" fires. I know others have mentioned problems, and I've submitted bug reports for this.

Will this behavior be brought to EWAR and Logistics drones as well?

So, i imagine the unlisted change to EVE is allowing Erebus' the ability to fart a legion of Domis now? I could be dense and missing the relevance of said picture, but there's my interpretation.

Possibly a reference to the largest reason drone assist mechanics were changed :x
