Edited by: L''ola Skywalker on 12/05/2006 05:49:50 Edited by: L''ola Skywalker on 12/05/2006 05:49:22 Hello,
I've always thought that the maximum number of drones a vessel can launch is 5 but yesterday I saw a couple of movies with Deimos and Ishtar HACs and - unless I need to visit an optometrist pronto - could have sworn that those vessels were launching around 10...
Any comments?
Thank you.

There was a time in eves history you could launch alot more, but now it is 5 , they just made them alot stronger , helps cut down on lag not so many drones flying around ;)

well other than those two love birds up there...
Miss Skywalker, u can have 5 drones with the drones skill maxed yes, but i fly 10. Unless you are flying around in a carrier then you can have up to well...i dont really know that right now.
but if u max "drones" to lvl5 and "advance drone interfacing" to lvl5 you can have 10 drones without flying a carrier. also u need "drone interfacing" lvl5 before "advance drone interfacing" this does 20% to mining amount or damage output for ur drones...adding that before "advance drone interfacing" will do nothing but good

Prevously the drone interfacing skill was a skill which enabled you to use 1 drone extra per level and droneships like the dominix also had a +1 drone skillbonus. Like stated above, this was changed because of the lag-issues - drones are controlled server-side and because they have to be 'smart' (.....) the server needs a lot of resources to control them (in contrast with e.g. containers which are stationary items)

advanced drone interfacing allows for use of one extra drone control unit per level, and drone control units are only useable on capital ships

As far as I know the only way to have more than 5 drones at the moment is to use Guardian-Vexor

Advanced drones interfacing can make more than 5 drones but that skill is not possible to buy any more, there was serverproblem with all drones so they stopped that skill. Thoose that got advanced interfacing are lucky once. I wish i had it. If you have information where i can find a skillbook with advanced interfacing, i would appriciate if you sent me a Eve-mail. Cheers!

I remember when Fade Union sat outside station in Roir and lauched all there drones to lag out the incoming PA fleet so they'd be able to pick afew of there ships off before they'd return to normal.
Domi not that long ago really could use 15 drones as the Max a non capital ship could deploy. Then again there new aswell, biggest ship in the game used to be an Apoc

biggest theoredical number of drones you can deploy atm is 25, in a mothership with maxed skills, including adv. drone interface at 5 and 5 drone control mods.
besides that, all ships are reduced to 5 drones. ----------------

There used to be a limit of 10 drones, rather than 5. Drone interfacing used to give +1 drone, rather than +20% damage/yield. It got changed because that many drones were causing lag.
Only carriers and motherships (maybe titans) can field more drones than that these days. -- We are recruiting

Thank you.
Maybe the Ishtar was a Guardian Vexor, and the Deimos had some drones assigned to it by a Carrier. Then they could have 10 each?? Otherwise it's an old film you watched. Don't worry sir!! They couldn't hit an elephant at this ra..... |

Um thought the assigned fighters count as active drones for the persont that they are asigned to... e.g. ship that has 4 assigned fighters can launch just one more drone.
Please correct me if im wrong - this is a good question imo ... especialy considering im almost in a carrier

Yes, the person you assign fighters to can only control as many as he has skill for, a maximum of 5.

Guardian Vexor has a built in ability for each level you get +1 drone control so 5 + it's 5 it 's the only thing other then carriers or motherships to have more then 5 right now, the new ability for +1 more isn't out yet if i'm right

It's also an "event ship", that was given something like 2 years ago (I started in november 2004 and they were already a myth back then ...), in very small numbers (can't remember if it was 20 or 50) ...
I'm sure some of them were destroyed, and if you really want one, you'll have to find one of the lucky owners and convince him to sell you his collector ship ... don't even hope to find one for less than 500 millions ...

Currently, the Guardian Vexor is the only ship I know of that can "naturally" fly 10 drones. To the poster that said he can fly 10 drones, he's lying unless he's in a carrier or the above G.Vexor. There may be another faction special ship that has the G.Vexor's ability, but I've not heard of one.
I'm a drone-***** and proud of it. I flew the Ishtar since HAC's were introduced into Eve and had a BLAST flying 15 heavy tech 2 drones. I pine for those days, even though I admit the drones are stronger and faster now. I'm not sure if it was a straight 3-for-1 trade, but they definitely do more damage than the did.
I have a picture of myself and a corpmate in a belt flying Ishtar's side by side. We did a countdown and released our 15 each drones at the same time...I got the screenshot as the "bloom" of drones were leaving our ships. It's a truly stunning pic.
