s0cks	Posted - 2003.10.06 09:58:00 - [1] Just like the Cargo Hold Expander, this little module would fit in your low slot and give you a +15% bonus to drone bay space (for basic) and -15% cargo hold space. Obviously on a ship with 0 drone bay, this item would have no effect (0 + 15% = 0). Just incase some smarty pants tries to say a Bestower could use harvestors.

That's an intelligence implant, sweetheart. Ideas Lab - Reprocessing

Kennian	Posted - 2003.10.07 07:18:00 - [9] dont realy know if that's a good idea... most ships combat ablilities are ballanced with drones in mind, you start adding drones you screw with the balance ]

Dukath	Posted - 2003.10.07 08:23:00 - [11] I agree, this would only inblanace drone usage too much. I think that all battleships have too much drone space as it is :( Gallente is supposed to be the race with drones yet the other races can carry up to 10 heavy drones (max you can use) anyway, or close to 8 of them in their battleships. Why use gallente ships when you can use your drones in other ships too?

Riana Tabost	Posted - 2003.10.07 12:37:00 - [13] Kennian & Dukath: Firstly there are more drones to be introduced, which increases the demand on drone space. Secondly, the problem of battleships having too much drone space should be looked at from the other end: Adjust the Battleships base drone space (if necessary). The game should always evolve with good ideas first and play balancing issues come second. __________________________________________________________________________ May I recommend a Cybernetic Subprocessor?..

Redan Chulipa	Posted - 2003.10.07 14:30:00 - [15] About the balance it's all good, other ships than gallente give up their low slots for a certain increase, not sure if the dronebay expanders will be remotely cheap or vast in space but it should become an option at some point.

Karon Wodens	Posted - 2003.10.07 15:16:00 - [17] Well that extra Gallente drone space helps when the ones you have out go BOOM. The other races cant send in reinforcements. Gallente can. Caldari Prime: Think of that moment, remember what they did...

Pyriel138	Posted - 2007.05.29 21:17:00 - [19] This Drone Bay Expander would make a lot of difference when fitted to a Exhumer or a Covetour. Imagine a 'Cove' with this fit using like 10 Drones to mine. Or better, a Hulk.

Why use gallente ships when you can use your drones in other ships too? Yup, the +15% only really helps ships like the dominix and ishtar, doesn't really help anything else. Even those with 125m drone bays only get another 18m of drone space and Curse/Pilgrims like their speed setups too much to give up a low for a massive 86m drone bay. Tempting as it may seem to have 8 medium drones instead of 7 or 5 mediums and 7 lights, not sure how many would use it with the amarr ships. These would be great if you could fit them on a capital ship, then you have more drones than the new regions at your disposal in some cases, which instantly kills the idea right there. Prior ideas for "Drone Bay Extenders" of various sizes have all been shot down, so aim well at this one and may you have wrecking shots. THUKKER -Be Paranoid

Neuromandis Novastorm Inc Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.05.29 23:30:00 - [21] Edited by: Neuromandis on 29/05/2007 23:29:27 The only problem with the idea is that it should be a high-slot through-and-through. It adds guns (drones), so should be a highslot, period. Low slot may seem balanced at first but it is not. Effectively you should be trading GUNS for drones not useless cargospace. It's not as if battleships need even MORE dps. And it should add fixed dronebay, not a percentage.
45thtiger011	Posted - 2007.05.30 04:10:00 - [22] HOLY THREAD REVIVAL BATMAN! sorry abot the caps but this is a 2003 thread...
Miss KillSome Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2007.05.30 07:32:00 - [23] who the f*** looks at 2003 topics?? thats like 100pages back:S get a life folks..
Aenlar Solivonyx	Posted - 2007.05.30 07:45:00 - [24] I dont think having a %mod on the drone space would be what we wanted. Take the mining ship the retriever for instance. 25m3 drone capacity... do what you said apply a 15% drone upgrade and you get... 28.75... so your retriever is still using only 5 light scout drones and he has a very odd number 3.75 waste factor. Drone capacity isnt like mining yield or refining yield or damage in that it uses decimal points, rather it goes in increments of 5m3. So maybe modules that increase drone capacity by increments of 5m3 or 10m3? Or lessen the weight of drones of a certain type by 5m3/10m3?
