Corian Teranos Caldari Critical Mass Inc.	Posted - 2009.11.12 17:03:00 - [1] I propose to have 3 additional check boxes in the drone settings pain for small medium and large ship types when checked the drones can automaticly target ships of this type when unchecked the drones wil not target said type of ship until told to. this is to keep your medium and large drones from attacking the friggates and acidently triggering the next few spawns when your busy focusing on say the 5 battleships already attacking you :Its all fun and games untill your logistics guy tries passive tanking his raven:
gring	Posted - 2009.11.12 23:58:00 - [2] I second this idea. it would help out tons!!!! being able to choose what type of ship your drones focus on.
Song Li MinmaTire Corporation LTD	Posted - 2009.11.13 00:47:00 - [3] Edited by: Song Li on 13/11/2009 00:47:57 I support this idea as part of a complete drone UI overhaul Vote Song Li for CSM 4 http://www.eveonline.com/council/voting/

Herschel Yamamoto Agent-Orange	Posted - 2009.11.14 18:14:00 - [5] As part of a bigger overhaul, this sounds like a good plan.
Scerolikk Teromni	Posted - 2009.11.14 19:11:00 - [6] More drone pilots wanting things to be done for them, and have everything automated. Why can't I tell my torpedoes to automatically fire at the nearest battleship, and why won't my smartbomb automatically go off when drones are attacking me? How come I can't afk jump through nullsec knowing that my invuln fields will come on automatically, my ship will warp to a safespot that it generated itself, and it will cloak up whenever the local count goes up by more than 2 in 10 seconds? Seriously... I hate having drone ships in my fleet because they always refuse to control the drones manually. Granted, part of the fault goes to CCP for having a horrible drone control interface, but that's what needs to be fixed. Don't add even more automation to the drones... just make it less of a pain in the ass to control them.
Hirana Yoshida Behavioral Affront	Posted - 2009.11.14 22:13:00 - [7] A little Zen to start my reply: One of the biggest parts of battle/combat is the chaos that follows. Remove the chaos and you are left with administrative work. A better and more logical solution would be to have the drones aggression lists sort by size. Ex: A light drone targets an aggressed frigate first even if a BS is above it on the list.

Don't add even more automation to the drones... just make it less of a pain in the ass to control them. first of all the entire point of drones is an automated weapon system that requires minimal pilot interface. secondly this is primarily for missioners who are busy with their main weapons and dont have time to babysit the drones so they dont accidently trigger the next 10 spawns on you while your still working on the first 5 battleships. :Its all fun and games untill your logistics guy tries passive tanking his raven:

Scerolikk Teromni	Posted - 2009.11.24 03:14:00 - [12] Originally by: Corian Teranos first of all the entire point of drones is an automated weapon system that requires minimal pilot interface. No it's not. Who told you that? Originally by: Corian Teranos secondly this is primarily for missioners who are busy with their main weapons and dont have time to babysit the drones so they dont accidently trigger the next 10 spawns on you while your still working on the first 5 battleships. Be a man and control your drones yourself...? Or don't bring them. Besides, you kill things more efficiently when you focus fire anyway. When you start attacking a target, just tell your drones to attack the same target. Doesn't sound all that complicated to me. (God, I'm a better drone pilot than most drone pilots and I only brought my drone skillgroup above 5,000 SP last week)

Finger Puppet BricK sQuAD.	Posted - 2009.11.24 03:32:00 - [14] Adding this feature would not only effect mission running but also PVP and PVE (Ratting). I think it's too much automation. We're already able to use hotkeys to attack, dock, and orbit. I vote NO, sorry
