Might almost be workable if while the drones were out, the parent ship couldn't warp as well. That is part of the downside of tackling, you are in point range as well.
Right, my Malediction with a 30 km point is always in tackling range... oh wait...
Also about that "status quo" nonsense; liking a part of the game because it works very well and adds interesting dynamics, is not sticking with something just because it's what we've gotten used to.

I think the idea might work, but they should be slow as hell and take up lots of dronebay so you have chance to actually kill them before they arrive.

Yay, let's make range control tactics obsolete.
Sure, controlling range would be hard if there's 5 drones tackling you, but you could just kill them, or warp out. Just like it would be hard to control range if there's 5 web-drones on your ass 
I like to post too, but sometimes i don't know what to say. So i just post something random like this post. But on the other hand, it might just all be a large signature. |

Neat idea in theory, impossible to implement well. They're either to good or useless.

Bow to your new master, the Scorpion. You will be tackled at range, ecmmed until your eyes bleed and taken out by either rails or missiles, the other two highslots will be DLA's.

oh crap did not come to my mind .... yeah it would be master deadly .... scorpion fleets would ftw. Luckily noone in CCP is insane enough to let this lunatic idea to pass to the game.

They already had scramble drones in the game and took them out like in RMR(can't be sure). God I feel old, anywho they were overpowered then they'd be overpowered now. Although I would personally love it because battleships would get a huge buff from it, able to hold down 2 or more targets would be wonderful.

Agree. That way outnumbered fleet can't bail during a fight since the drones will spread scram points all over the field. Small gang will get slaughtered like any good small gang that engages a superior force should.

about the worst idea ive ever seen, would take away from the difficulty of PVPing at times when everyone can scram you from great distances.

BAD IDEA!!! it would f**k up SO many ships an styles of combat especially with frigs. i think the general consecuss here is anti scram drones. ECMs are bad enough. they kill real combat. the sram drones are a horrid an repulsive idea. f**k you.

I'd like to tell you about a land far far away in a time long gone. A land called Vietnam.
Daughter of Liberty! whose knife
So busy chops the threads of life,
And frees from cumbrous clay the spirit;
Ah! why alone shall Gallia feel
The beauties of thy pond'rous steel?

The first thing we need to distinguish between in terms of point drones are warp scramming drones and warp disrupting drones.
Warp Scramming drones (the ones that shut down MWDs are a horrible idea) It would make it near impossible to get away since any ship cruiser and above uses a MWD in pvp most of the time.
Warp Disrupting Drones. I'm honestly not sure if they are a good idea or a bad one. It's something I've thought about before. Figuring out a system in which these would not be overpowered would be tricky.
Shooting drones is a possibility, but think about a BS trying to shoot a light drone with its guns. It would have to use it's own drones for that.
I think it would add a very interesting dynamic to the game. It would make LR HS HAC gangs a very different ball game. However for all the types of PVP they enhance I think these drones would ruin a lot of conventional PVP.
It would be far too easy to pin down multiple targets. Imagine Ishkurs holding down 6 ships. The sentry drone style is interesting.
You could maybe even have sizes be an issue. Eg Small point drones can tackle frigs and dessies. Medium point drones can hold down BC sized ships and smaller. Large Point drones can hold down BSes and Carriers. Just an idea that came to me, I haven't given it a lot of thought.

I like the concept, but implementation would be a ***** to do fairly.

0.1 > 0
so wouldn't a single light drone still prevent someone from warp?
There go droneless ships down the drain

After all, a fleet of pilots that wasn't competent enough to actually manage to physically spread points, will obviously be competent enough to manage to spread them via other methods.
oh wai.....
Not signed. Also, if anyone EVER voted this to go through, the drones should be the NON-MWD shut off variety to keep a role for the frigs, and to keep fast ships able to control range. They should also lose point if you leave drone control range.
Edit: and as the dude above me said, if this change were implemented, there's several ships that need a small drone bay to keep balance in game. Zealot for example.

Make them a heavy drone only, like the current web drones, and only disrupt, not scram, and I'm all for the idea.
