Okay these drones should be of some use to the mining corps, and therefore, like the Harvesters, in much demand. I wouldlike to see implemented the Hauler drone series in which a drone can br preporgramed to haul mined ore back and forth from the pilots canisters to the station. I'm not sure how this could be impleted, but suffice to say a drone like this would bequite big and quite expensive. ---------------------------------

i thought EVE was about teamwork. But having a drone haul for you would be a lot easier than paying someone else to do it for you

Sarcasium on....
Excellent idea, and when in 20 years that drone makes it to the station from your container you can stand proud about the miniscule ammount that drones hauled for you. If it survives and isnt picked up into somebody elses cargohold of course. Drones are not warp capable.
Sarcasium off.
If you look hard enough you'll see that this idea is terrible gameplay wise, and even worse for the poor sap who would have to code it, with warping features, navagation interface, hanger access etc.

maybe not for hauling ore to station. Howabout for picking up all the loot from rats in frigates that got toasted by your missiles while your mining.
Lets face it if your out in the belts for a few hours killing off 5-10 k rats while you mine its better to go back to station and come back in a frigate to pick up the loot.

I agree with Orb it's a silly idea to have them hauling back to the station EVEN if they could warp.
The game would be way to simple and boring to have something doing it all for you. What would the point in having industrial ships be apart from to move many items which i dare say....doesnt happen half as much as hauling ore. So why take away the main use of many ships in game and make it way to simple with a drone. Also it takes away the feeling of accomplishment that i get after hauling a load of ore successfully back to the station knowing it was all me!
I love the idea though of hauling the loot back to the your can, and even, AsheRaven, if you cut your idea down a bit and make it so that your drones take your ore out of your cargohold and into your jettisoned can would make life a whole lot easier, especially if rats spawn on top of you, they could continue to shift your ore while you protect your assets.
That i would like to see.

They've already got salvage drones planned, afaik.
