1) Drones should be assigned bounties by DED. Give an RP reason like a coordinated series of attacks on vital supply lines or something. Also, the amount of dropped refineable materials should be significantly reduced.
2) Instead of dropping named modules, NPCs can drop single-run BPCs for said modules which would require nothing more than one of their T1 counterparts. This would also give a reason to manufacture T1 items. T1 items would still be dropped.

I doubt you'll get much support for the first idea, but the seconds is kinds cool. You might repost it in another thread. Or maybe I'll just steal it and take credit.
While I like the idea of npcs dropping meta 1-4 bpcs, a bunch of 1 run bpc would probably get annoying. Why not 5-10 runs but reduce drop rate appropriately. Requiring players to actually build thier meta modules would help the market I think.

That's all fine and well, but what about those of use that LIVE in the drone regions? The bounty on Drones would have to be at least equal to that on other NPCs to make giving up loads of Plush viable.
Personally I hate having to carry all that crap back with me, and would love to be able to just pop the drones, make a bounty and pick the mods I want from the wreckage. but as stated before, you would HAVE to make the bounties worthwhile.
Also, you would have to provide an alternative source of the composite minerals currently harvested from drones. Many of those mins are used in T2 and Starbase production. Remove them and production grinds to a halt in days.
Again, not sayng it's a bad idea. but it needs to be properly balanced so that Drone Region Alliances aren't starved out of existence. Fix the Wardec System! Upgrade the Probing System! |

Well, what makes you think I would be opposed to drone BSs being worth upwards of 1 mil ISK?
Furthermore, those 'loads of plush' are the sole reason why mid-quality ores are essentially worthless today. ____________________ CCP: Catering to the cowards of a cold, harsh universe since November, 2006. |
