Hi
I would like to see more different drone types with way more tasks. With the upcoming changes in damageoutputs the battles should last longer. This way drones can be way more important in fights.
My first ideas for new dronetypes:
- different sabotage drones. Possible tasks:
1. sabotage the jump drives of a ship to prevent the ship from jumping as long as the drone isnt destroyed.
2. sabotage of ship modules. Your drones can deactivate modules of the enemy ship. The ship cant use the modules until it docks on a station. (it will be really nasty if your weapons get deactivated)
3. sabotage of the ships navigation. The ship cant change speed or direction until the drone is destroyed.
(for the 1. and 3. kind of drones there should be different numbers needed to sabotage a frigate, cruiser or battleship)
- suicide drones: This drones penetrate the enemies shield and explode on the armor of the ship. This way dmg can be dealt to the armor/hull without destroying the shield first.
I think there are way more possibilities to bring more diversification into the battles. Just add your thoughts

well, personally I'd like to see salvage and repair drones in, before "sabotage drones"...
But as long as we're throwing ideas around, here are some of the more obvious ones:
-Missile drones
-Sensor extension drones (increase sensor range, decrease lock-on time)
-drones with different sheild/armor ratios:
[may be in, but I haven't seen a drone info tab in forever. waiting for the patch...]
-drones with 2 types of damage-similiar to the damage on hybrid/proj ammo
-retreival drones (pickup junk from a remote cargo can)
-missile defense drones (after missiles get beefed up, of course)
well that's all for now. let's hear some more. especially crazy ideas.

suicide drones however, are essentially missiles.
So the idea would be much better suited to shield peircing missiles. (presumably a rather high level skill, if done at all)

Well I still opt for drones you can fit just like ships: give them all some slots, grids and then lets fit them all as we wish to. Would give the drones an extra edge and allow for further "total" personalisation.

i would personally like to see the noncombatant drone types created because the simple fact is that unless you are certain you can win a battle, drones will only tie you down. I mean, you have 400k of fighting drones sitting out there when you would want to warp away. But the salvage and repair drones would be very nice things to have.

Probe Drones : Send them ahead of you to your destination to see what is there.
Not a reusable commodity. Once there they are nothing more than a dead in space short term item. Sends back data on all items within 150km of it's location.

What i would like to see is an item that adds drone storage to any ship this way an industrial ships could use minning drones I also like the idea of salvage drones

So a module that would reduce cargo space/hull integrity, but give a bonus to drone space?
Just like cargo expanders...there would be drone-bay expanders...
