De'Veldrin wrote:Just for clarification, Scout Drones isn't being split, right? Based on the devblog, it's being renamed, and Combat Drone Operation is the one being split. Quote: We are also splitting the current Combat Drone Operation skill into two new skills, Light Drone Operation and Medium Drone Operation. This means that all light combat drones will now be unlocked and bonused from the Light Drone Operation skill, and medium combat drones will be unlocked and bonused from the Medium Drone Operation skill. During the patch downtime, existing players with the Combat Drone Operation skill trained will receive both new skills trained to the same level that their Combat Drone Operation skill was trained to.
This change makes light and medium drones consistent with heavy and sentry drones in their skill paths. It also allows us to create new ships and modules with bonuses that only affect light or medium drones separately, such as the newly rebalanced Guristas Worm faction frigate.
Finally, we are renaming two drone skills to clarify their roles. The Scout Drone Operation skill is being renamed GÇ£Drone AvionicsGÇ¥; the Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing skill is being renamed GÇ£Advanced Drone AvionicsGÇ¥ to better represent their roles. The effects, prerequisites and unlocks provided by these skills will not be changing.

La Nariz wrote:So according to you giving a person something is taking something away from another person. When did EVE become a closed system?
A has 10 oranges,
B has 8 oranges,
I give 2 oranges to B,
B now has 10 oranges.
According to your logic A had 2 oranges removed from it which is clearly not the case. Try again? One can work 2 hours for 5 oranges, 4 hours for 5 oranges, or 6 hours for 10 oranges.
A works 2 hours for 5 oranges, and B works 6 hours for 10 oranges. A is suddenly given 5 more oranges for no reason other than already having 5 oranges. B feels cheated having had to work the extra 4 hours for the full 10 oranges when A got them without those 4 hours.

o7 m8888888888888888 or whatever you pubbies do these days Well you've lost my support. Good job.
I can stand to take the loss, so I'm really just arguing out of principle. I'm willing to bet it hits you harder though, and that makes me change my mind. "Pretty much all 14 of the CSM were in favor of a drone assign nerf for OBVIOUS gameplay reasons" - Sala Cameron

Right now. ...based on what? Based on the current Kronos build. Also, based on how it's the only requirement that makes any sense with this change. It doesn't make any sense because that would violate their dictum of "if you can use it now, you can use it after".

It makes sense because Drone Avionics is the skill that control drone control range. It therefore also unlocks modules that control drone control range. Compare Drone Navigation GåÆ DNC and Drone Sharpshooting GåÆ Omnilink. You're ignoring the larger point.
If someone doesn't have Scout Drone Operation 5 but they do have Combat Drone Operation 5, come June 3rd they'll discover they won't be able to use T2 DLAs anymore.
The simple solution for this would be to give everyone the level of Drone Avionics that they have in either SDO or CDO, whichever is higher. But they're not doing that. "Pretty much all 14 of the CSM were in favor of a drone assign nerf for OBVIOUS gameplay reasons" - Sala Cameron

i'm just going to laugh at all the people who trained CDO V, it's more productive than talking to them at this point. I trained it The people complaining about it are contemptibly petty to an unbelievable level. Save that for things that are actually contemptibly petty.

You're not getting free SP. Also, why did you think you would need this? CCP's policy has been "if you can fly now you can fly it after. So, why did you train the skill? Did you think CCP was gonna take away your ability to use drones? They never have and never will. Ah, no. That is a lie. I will need Amarr Drone spec to use Curators, and I don't now. So you either have ether badly misread what the devs said, or you are propagating the lies CCP has stated. Its not even a thing yet and you already are in with "the lies CCP has stated" Thats poor, even for you. Well he's actually right for once, as long as you take out the parts about lies.
I guess it's not really a problem though. Sure you'd lose your ability to use T2 [Race] sentry drones. You can regain that in however long it takes you to get the skillbook, plus 20 minutes or so. You'll also be losing quite a bit of DPS but that too can be regained (aside from DPS nerfs intended e.g. on Garde IIs).
