While mining there are often NPC pirates around 50km away. While my drone skills are good enough to use Sentry Drones the attributes of Barges/Exhumers prevent me from attacking the NPC. Hulk base max targeting is 22,5km. With Scout Drone Operations 5 your drone control range is 25km.
I suggest the following points:
- Increase Hulk base max targeting range to 40km. With Long Range Targeting 5 you will be able to increase that range to 50km.
- Add a drone control range bonus to barges/exhumer type ships. My favorite is 5km drone control range per mining barge skill level. With this bonus you would have a drone control range of max. 50km, which fits the point above.
Influence:
- No influence on mining yield or mining range.
- Less influence on PvP. Sniper BS will stay out of range. Smartbomb BS, HACs, Cruisers are already in range base on current attributes/skills.
Imho my suggestions are easy to implement in EvE. They will not affect balancing of mining or PvP. NPCs have a speed advantage while mining you are typically like a sitting duck even if you orbit an asteroid your speed is max 75m/s. I don't think that the changes will overpower a Barge/Exhumer against NPCs.

No idea what you're on about... I've killed every 0.0 spawn that tries to disrupt my mining operations. Here's a hint.... you see that option called "Guard", use that on the miner that's being attacked. As long as your drone skills are good enough (Scout operation and Electronic Warfare skills) then you don't need to lock the target. If your mining on your own then bigger fool you.

I like this idea. It's simple, balanced, easy to implement. It's smart!

I think you need to check up drone stuff before you make proposals.
1. Drone control range with Scout drone operation at 5 is 45 km.
2. You can increase it further to 60km by training ecm drone interfacing.
3. You don't need to lock stuff for your drones to attack it, just set your drones to aggressive and they'll attack everything that attacks you (although this may be exploited by can flippers).
So pretty much your only proposal is to increase barge locking range...to which I don't really have an opinion, as none of my characters can even sit in a barge (although one will soon be able on his way to an orca).

Increasing targeting range for barges/exhumers sounds nice to me. And as explained, you have allready nice drone range with basic skills at lvl5.
Mayby add them role bonus of 10km to drones - to be able to use drnes on passive to prevent can flipers of using aggresive stance. ------------------------------------------------

I personaly dont see why barges are so nerfed when it comes to lock range , i mean its not like if i lock a roid 75K away my lasers will still hit it.

Yeah that was the originaly intention of my proposal. As a miner you are reliant to your scout drones. While your drone skills actually allow you a control range of 45km (yeah I made a mistake) you are limited by ship attribute to a targeting range of <30km. I still believe that it would be a good idea to adjust the ship attribute in the way that drone control range and targeting range fit together.

Quoted for truth.
