hey all..

the mining drones at the moment might be good for frigate size ships but when you get in to bigger ships then are not good
not even the T2 drones are any good .. and none of them are getting boosted by the orca or rorqual boost

so i'm thinking that the drones we have now shall be renamed to small mining drone (or somthing like that)
and there shold be made a medium mining drone and a large mining drone,,

the small one's shold not be changed much in there output (can't remember how much they do mine atm..)
they shall mainly be for frigate size ships

the medium one's shall mine more then the small one's and be for cruiser sized ship's and maybe mining barge's

and the large one's shall mine more .. but not so much that they get better then the strip mining lasers..
they shall mainly be for barge's and exhumers .. shall also be avalible for orca's and rorqual's (that shall be able to use 5 of them)

and a new design for all the mining drones will be nice :)

and of's a tech 1 and tech 2 version and maybe a ORE version aswell and BPO's for all of the tech 1 ..

other then this i don't have much right now so..

have a nice day :)

Drones currently give a decent boost to yield. They aren't meant to be the main extraction mechanic. In terms of function they're like rigs, adding a boost to whatever is already there.

Nothing broken. Nothing to fix.
