7o everyone.
We've got another addition ready to gather some feedback for. This one will release in a future Rubicon point release (I know which internal release it will be in but we're not sure yet if it will be called 1.2 or 1.3 in public).
We will be releasing a full line of Hull Repair Drones! We expect that these drones will be especially useful for those times when you need to rep a relatively small amount of structure damage, such as an incapped Starbase module.
There will be Hull Repair Drones in Light, Medium and Heavy sizes, both T1 and T2. Their skill requirements will follow the same pattern as Armor Rep Drones, except using the Remote Hull Repair Systems skill instead of the Remote Armor Repair Systems skill. Like other logistic drones, these will require the Repair Drone Operation skill as well as the Drones skill. The Repair Drone Operation skill will be expanded to apply its rep rate bonus to Hull Maintenance Bots as well as Armor and Shield bots.
All the drones will apply their reps every 5s, and the hull repaired per cycle for each drone will be: Light Hull Maintenance Bot I - 6 Light Hull Maintenance Bot II - 7 Medium Hull Maintenance Bot I - 12 Medium Hull Maintenance Bot II - 16 Heavy Hull Maintenance Bot I - 30 Heavy Hull Maintenance Bot II - 36
We'll let you guys know when these hit SISI for your testing pleasure. It will be a few weeks since our testing priority right now is the new Universe Data changes that are on SISI as we speak.
Let us know what you think! Thanks -Fozzie Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie http://www.twitch.tv/ccp_fozzie/ |

Nice! What will the faction of these drones be?
About their stats, I think you should reconsider the amount of light T2. Between T1 and T2 you have a difference of 6 for heavy, 4 for meds, it should be 2 for lights, not 1.
From a percentage perspective thats an increase of 20% for Heavy between T1 and T2, 33% for Medium, and 17% for Lights. Would be cool to raise it to 33%. It would be the higher increase but we're talking about light drones which repair insignificant amounts anyway.
Details details I know

Some would say: How dare you create new drones instead of fixing sov! How dare you do ANYTHING instead of fixing sov? Don't even breathe! :D
Of course they would be wrong but still they could give this sort of feedback. Signature Tanking - Best Tanking. |

These are good I would like to see a person use them in a cool frigate 1v1 like warp you're rapier alt into a battle and set the hull reping drones onto the hull and repair the hull. for 1v1's who using booster alt does this mean that there will be new link modules like the armor links on the legion, that is what I am thinking at all said. or what are future plans for it? |

Logistic drones and ECM (or E-war in general? I don't know.) drones cannot assist anyone, they do not have the option to.
They should fix that. ECM would be easy because its an offensive mechanism. Logistics on the other hand would have to see their assist triggered, not on agression, but on reps.
Assists with logistics is a tricky part because you could then, assuming you're two players with a drone bay, use your drone bay to increase your tank, which obviously isn't something the drone bay is meant to do. At least not in another way than "shredding to pieces what's attacking you" kind of tank.
Edit: Of course, drone assist is also a broken mechanism in itself with its perfectly coordinated 4-second alpha for sentrys. But leaving it for non-sentry drones seems a viable thing to me. That's another debate though... Just don't expect any minor change do drone assist before they eventually rewamp the whole system once and for all. Signature Tanking - Best Tanking. |

Yay!
Happy dance!
Ill use em to fix drones that have caught NPC aggro (and do not get home quite fast enough).
I can also see them used in incursion fleets to fix someone who did not get the needed RR quite fast enough. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

You have to assign repair drones manually, so no.
Nice addition though, no complaints. |

Found it for you :) It was initially about the universe data migration so I edited the quote for readability.
CCP Lebowski wrote:What is this universe data[...]? The universe data contains, for example: the positions for all systems, planets, gates, asteroid belts and the asteroids in these belts. [...] There are many systems in EVE which use the universe data in some, sometimes unexpected, way. The path finder, for example, is also used in the market! [...] maybe you will find something broken in a weird corp function or when trying to use a titan portal. This [...] is huge and touches almost everything
Are they preparing the new buildable stargates? A rewamp of SOV? The opening of Jove Space???
...
I personally think that they are just testing the Titanomachy graveyard :D Signature Tanking - Best Tanking. |

Is there going to be ships with bonuses towards Hull tanking/Hull repair?
If not, think about it a little bit! Stargates aren't located within POS shields. The stargate itself and everyone around it is vulnerable to attack. So why is a Titan located within a POS shield when a Jump Portal is activated? The Titans should not be allowed complete safety! |

This has been a long, long, LONG time coming, (I remember seeing threads asking for these from 2005) so yeah, I think it's wonderful and a great addition that'll make the game more fun.
It's almost as if the whole 'lets bring some common sense to ships and module rebalancing has found it's way into drones.
GOOD.
Please keep it up CCP Fozzie AND CCP, I know Fozzie has a love/hate relationship with many players because of the old 'you can't please ALL of the people ALL of the time' stuff. But this change was needed, and after years of asking for it (I think even a few months ago I seriously asked for it again myself, heh) I'm glad that we'll see them hopefully enter the game for the next patch.
My only question is this:
CCP Fozzie I know there won't be tech 2 bpo's for these, all will come from invention, but will there be a chance to see named hull repper drones some how or isn't that something you want to tackle at this time?
Thanks for another addition that was sorely needed.
