Hey,

I had an idea where players are able to skill into flying Fighters & Bombers.

Of cause the skills required will be tricky, but will give people who develop their drone skills only to be used with a carrier for something other than logging on in low-sec / nul-sec only when they are needed.

The idea I had was for Fighters & Bombers to be flown from the cockpit like a FPS(First Person Shooter) with profit modules and attributes exact to that of a the original Drones. But of cause their will be limitation like the following...



1) They have no Jump Drive which means they cannot be jumped through high-sec systems.

2) Warp Drive will run from the capacitor limiting how often it can warp.

3) Must be able to dock / undock from a station.

4) If you do enter a modified Fighter / Bomber, you will not enter a pod if you are blown up making it high risk.

5) You cannot at any point repackage a modified Fighter / Bomber which will mean that Drone is limited to the system you chose to assemble unless you have a large enough cargo to transport it... And that we can not assembled ships on our own it will force the use and risk of contracts.

6) Manual Fighter / Bomber special ability would be to drop at of warp at any time.

I am sure there are more things to limit, but I can't think of any right now..

The only other thing would be to some day if this was included into eve is to go further and allow special orders from a carrier as well as the ability to come and go from its drone hold.

You know, I've considered something similar.

I was imagining Fighters and Bombers to be the equivalent of battle pods. If you are destroyed, you jump into a medical clone, just as if you'd been podkilled.

I don't agree with your guidelines, I see them as ultralight, super-fast frigates.

It could be worthwhile to entertain the thought.
