I'm not sure if this has ever been seriously considered, but every time I see a ship with a 5 m3 drone bay, I feel like it's a bit of a waste. Frankly, the Helios drone damage bonus makes me chuckle.
I know the devs hate drone lag, but wouldn't it be nice if even the smallest drone bays could hold a full wing of five drones? Mmmmm ... Eris with five speedy little pinpr.ick thermal drones sounds nice.

I honestly don't think it's needed. Some ships have very small dronebays for a reason. ------------------- My opinions (ie, all of my posting here) are not my corporations. Nor should it be taken as such. |

Yeah, and I doubt the devs will ever do something that potentially adds even more drones (and lag) to a battlefield, but it sure would be nice if a small-bay ship could vary damage types or have backups.

Id like to see drone bay/cargo hold interchangable in space. That way you can change drones on the fly etc.
But alas its merely a dream -------- Kill em all and let god sort em out

That would allow dominixes' to have tons and tons of drones. Overpowered. ________________________________

If we did get these new tiny drones, they could have higher speed than the light scouts and be even harder to hit / take longer to target.
What's so bad about dreaming, anyway?

I really don't see them making any more changes to allow more drone usage. CCP already cut the dronebays on all ships by 50% in the past, and cut all drone dmg by 50% also (and you now need Drone interfacing lvl 5 to get back to original drone dmg before the nerf).

Don't you mean to say that allow all ships to have tons and tons of drones? I mean think about, as long as you have 25m3 of drone space you can: launch 1 heavy, transfer one from the cargo to the bay, launch another heavy, repeat as necessary ------------------------------- C.D's Formula for success ------------------------------- Credit Card = Game Time Card Gametime Card = ISK Therefore Credit Card = ISK.

Drone damage wasn't cut at all. Drone bay size was halfed and DI was changed to 20% damage instead of +1 drone... Hence: At DI 5 I could control 10 drones doing 1 dps each (eg) total DPS: 10 After fix: At DI 5 I now have 5 drones doing 2 dps each, total DPS: 10

Yes, lets put 5 ogre II and 5 berserker II in my cargo as backup... then put in a measly 10 cap boosters.

Some ships didn't get 25m3 because you can drop 5 ogres in say a myrmidon, and come back, scoop, deploy, scoop, deploy etc, and have say 5x ogre IIs giving a whooping 475 dps on some ship with drone bonuses and 25m3 dronebay, eating up most things that enter the belt and expect to get a kill, like some caracal.

I dont claim the idea as my own, but I think its worth another look: Someone once suggested that ships should have a maximum m3 of drones allowed in space, rather than a simple cap of 5, then give dedicated drone boats some extra dronebay to carry backup drones without overpowering them.

You misunderstand the poster, its a combination of the 2 , max 5 drones and a max m^3 of drones in space.

YES!
give us 1m drones, uber fast (say T1 going at 5km/s for the slowest drone) and for T2 minmatar about 10km/s
they would do like 1 dmg each, and have a 2 sec ROF.
would be sexeh!

No, I think there should be some sort of drone that only certain frigates can use. Something that is about 5m3, but hits like a medium or something.

i vote for 1m3 interceptor drones that go 10km/s, have 3x the tracking of a light t2 drone and do about 1/3 their damage. ______________

It has that 10% bonus precisely *because* it has only a 5m¦ dronebay.
The 1 gun/launcher the other cov ops can fit (assuming they have free grid/cpu, drones do not need any fitting) do not really more dps than the 1 hobgoblin from the helios.

It would overpower other ships more imo:
Nighthawk:
Launch ogre II put Ogre II into drone bay launch Ogre II Repeat until you have 5 Ogre IIs to suppliment your Nighthawk.

also removes the point of having a dronebay larger then 125M3(assuming you cant have more m3 drones out then dronebay). fit 5 heavy drones in dronebay, come up against an inty, swap the drones for light scouts in your cargobay.
