Drops are not an ISK faucet. They don't magically generate ISK out of thin air like bounties. In order to make ISK from a dropped module you have to sell that module to another player and that other player has to give you ISK. This isn't a faucet, just a trade. |

No, you assume wrong. I am only referring to the bounties.
And, yes, it may be considered only a "slight" increase, but it is an increase all the same.
Balance consists of tweaking numbers both up and down. If you are going to add a 0.001% faucet, then you need to add a 0.001% sink, as well.
The failure to always keep this in mind is why we continue to have more ISK faucets than ISK sinks in the game. |

No, you're still wrong.
The amount of isk added by officer spawns that noone is ever going to get anyways, is actually an isk SINK, not an isk faucet.
Why? Because noone rats in the belts. However, if anyone were actually stupid enough to stop running drone hordes and patrols and such, they would be losing a ton of isk per hour, to belt rat. However, with no (valuable) faction spawns in the belts, this will be a far less profitable endeavour compared to other regions. Paired with the fact that the drops from these new officer spawns, short of the Drone Damage Amplifiers are all an absolute joke, especially the worthless DCU, (Seriously, I think this dev blog is a tongue in cheek jab at the drone regions as a whole, 'here's your officer drones, hahahahahaha. now quit complaining') people will overall be losing a lot of potential isk if they belt rat. For each person who comes out of drone anomalies in the drone regions, to belt rat, you're going to see LESS overall isk coming into the game (paired with that player actually making less overall).
Drone officers = Isk SINK reliant on people being dumb enough to belt rat in the drone regions. |

I want to know this as well, easier fitting is all good I guess, but it doesn't feel like the drone control units are what usually breaks a carrier fit. What I mean is that unless it does something insane like adding +2 drones per module I don't see why anyone would like to fit it given the (I assume) very high price it'll get? Easier fitting is the only change, as in less CPU. No change to powergrid or other stats. I've commented elsewhere that fitting is a non-issue, but that went unanswered. I was hoping that maybe we might see a faction carrier to totally pimp out with these

This was actually phased out in the most recent drone regions nerf. They USED to contain alloys, which were great for building with. However, instead of bringing bounties in line, and putting loot in, in line with other regions, they decided to just put the bounties, but leave them with no loot. Think this is the first patch in what, the last 4 or 5, that affected drone regions, that isn't a nerf to their money making, and even then, it's only a 2% buff to the salvage. The new officer spawn loot is bad, and whoever made it should feel bad. |

No. Officer DCU does nothing at all. And by that I mean it has reduced CPU, when CPU was not even close to being needed. |

By that logic we wouldn't get bounties either. Or be able to track pilots.

Not sure if ccp was on drugs when they thought up these modules. But the drone control unit is pointless. The only difference is less cpu and/or powergrid. Now I'm not sure if CCP has ever flown a super carrier. But I have never once seen anyone have any troubles fitting things on a super. The prices of these modules will be so low for an officer mod, its stupid. If you wanted to make it worth hauling a 3,000 m3 item (first officer mod that big) then make it be +2 drones instead of +1. That would actually make it worth putting on those ratting supers. Not to mention all the drone "Officer" mods will not be used on titans like most other officer mods. So this too will decrease their value and how often they are used as well.
a couple other ideas
-Faction mods would be great since drones are still missing those. -Rouge drone faction ships.

OK, seriously, I appreciate the attempt, but like we used to say in the MARINES, good initiative, poor execution. Particularly, the officer drone control unit. Its unique in that, its the only capital module drop i know of in the game. Its worth is exactly that of a normal DCU, because no one needs new or better DCUs. Carriers don't suffer from fitting issues. Its just one more chuckle some gankers are going to get when they kill a needlessly pimped ratting thanatos.
So unless its parlayed with some other bonus's, like +2 drones, or improved fighter or other drone tracking, speed, damage, range. Its useless.
In the end a poor dev sat at a desk for hours and hours making a module that serves no purpose, and like skill points are to players, time is a devs most valuable resource.
Please re-examine the officer dcu's. they serve no purpose over current t1 dcus.
I propose fighter damage modification!!
