What if the Rogue Drones went from Bad to Worse?

I know the following might not happen, but what if:

- They started hijacking ships
- They started turning people's own drones against them
- They figured out how to use a station's medical facilities to their advantage (creating an army of meatbag slaves perhaps?)
- Etc

It would screw things up REALLY badly

This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I was just thinking to my self "what if bad became worse", so I made this thread to ask that very question. Do you have a problem with it or something?

It would make for an interesting Epic Arc or something.



A bit of advice: Say something on this thread that is actually worthwhile.

You are essentially asking for npc fleets to start attacking stations and starbases. A possibly interesting idea but given the way the game functions concerning those they would have to be outrageously powerful to have any meaningful impact. There would need to be some kind of warning a few hours before such an attack happened spammed to anyone in a corp that has a starbase in the effected system that the npc fleet is massing to attack. It would have to be something approximately like a mothership incursion site and if repelled would have to give the matching reward. Given that a deathstar set pos could destroy such a fleet on its own would simply be giving large ammounts of cash to people who have them. I would have to say that there is no way that this could benefit gameplay and likely most people will outright reject the idea.

Another gallente nerf in disguise.
