What would break if we had a full range of drone implants?

Comparable to the implants available for turrets or missiles, that is.

I have my hopes up that this will happen eventually, now that drone damage modules are on the way.

New Drone UI in in the works as well <3

Here's someone's recap of the Fanfest Module session:

http://eveblog.allumis.co.uk/?p=837


  • Tactical warp – after spool-up you warp 110km in the direction you’re facing, very quickly
  • Tactical warp disruption bubble – 48km radius that acts like a normal bubble, but only affects tactical warps
  • Lock breaker – chance of breaking all locks on you increases the more people are locking you up – counter-intuitive in some ways, but clearly anti-blob
  • Increase drone damage module – yay!
  • Rig to increase your CPU
  • Rig to allow frigates to lock out to about 150km – sniper rifter anybody?
  • Small and medium stasis web drones – pretty obvious addition and surely worthy of a BPO?
  • Salvage drones – seriously! Only able to salvage one wreck at a time and must return to you for it to work



Obviously just potential ones, but nevertheless presented by CCP, and confirmed here https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=85195&find=unread

Drones should have a full range of implants, rigs, and mods just like other weapon systems.

I would really love a full high and low grade implant set plus hardwirings devoted to drone love. Would be a nice addition to the upcoming expansion.

An LG drone implant set would be a fine addition to the Gallente FW LP store

EDIT: And maybe a different HG set as faction Drone drops?

As a gallente (and domi) pilot I must say, drone love, best love. Oops

Sometimes (always) you need to scream your head off before CCP notice.

Rattlesnake, Gila, Worm, Curse, Pilgrim & Arbitrator pilots might also benefit Blink



Hmmm a thought occurs: what about Fighters/Fighter-Bombers?
