scrap123	Posted - 2011.02.26 05:05:00 - [1] i really think the POS needs a drone bay. it has everything else, why not drones. it add more flexability and tactics to the POS. i was thinking could use 10 at once...except heavys, only 5. no fighters tho, that would be too much.
Sanic Xaqueter	Posted - 2011.02.26 06:40:00 - [2] I actually like that idea, but you cant discriminate. If your going to give it drones then you should let it have every drone available as long as you have the right bays, and the right stock. I do agree though, you need to have some kind of cap for the different sizes of towers, the bigger the tower and type of tower the more or less drone bandwidth it can produce and use.
Devil tiger	Posted - 2011.02.26 08:08:00 - [3] Did either of you consider the other implications of this. Especially if we would be allowed to use all types of drones? Such as shield maintainance bots repping the pos? Yeah sounds really balanced to have "auto shield repper" on POS. For the combat drones to be useful they would have to move outside forcefield ---Boom drones So no, not going to happen and rightfully so.
Flex Nebura Caldari	Posted - 2011.02.26 13:21:00 - [4] Probably belongs in Features and Ideas. But as far as ships go you cannot remote rep yourself and I dont see how that would be any different for a pos. but arent batteries kinda like sentry drones?

I think it would be cool to get drones for a POS and it would be a moduel you would have to anchor. it would add a new dynamic to fighting a POS. ---------------------------------------- -Nebraska Mining Consortium-

If your fleet cant out dps or kill 10 shield repper drones, there is no helping you.

Janeway84 Gallente Def Squadron	Posted - 2011.02.26 23:50:00 - [7] Would be a cool idea, Small pos can use 5 drones, medium pos can use 10 drones and large pos can use 15 drones. Imo in any Pos you still use loads of ships.. but hell the drones could add 5% extra dps to the pos defence or something... Thing is to would the drones be bonused at all or how would that work? Is the Pos builders skill taken into account how much dmg the drones would do and other drone stats?

Just like your own ships you cant shield/armor rep yourself their for the tower cannot rep itself either.

Is the Pos builders skill taken into account how much dmg the drones would do and other drone stats? 5? 10? 15? Drones only are you serious? You do realize most pos assaults consist of more then 60+ fleets usually alot more add to that they could be using capitals what is 15 drones gonna do? besides die once they leave the force field

Lirinas	Posted - 2011.03.02 21:00:00 - [11] This does belong in Features & Ideas, but I too like this idea. In fact, I see no reason why a POS couldn't use Fighters or even Fighter Bombers. POS's have the biggest and heaviest turrets and missiles usable on ships already... so I see no reason a POS couldn't use the biggest drones available. How I'd imagine this to be implemented would not to have the Control Tower deploy the drones. Instead you'd introduce new defense anchorables - a "drone hanger) that would be treated like any other Array. They'd have to be deployed outside the Force Field, they'd use Power & maybe CPU, and they'd be controllable. There could be different hanger types catering to different drone types. Drone Hangers for your "traditional" drones (Light, Medium, Heavy), Fighter Hangers for Fighters, and so-on. Each hanger would allow (for instance) 10 drones/fighters each regardless of bandwidth, and each hanger could give buffs to drone HP's and Damage as well (especially for smaller drones or else they'd die too quickly in engagements.
ShadowFire15 BOAE INC -Mostly Harmless-	Posted - 2011.03.07 16:29:00 - [12] Pos deploying fighters to help protect itself sounds pretty interesting. Would love to test something like that out on sisi It is impossible to pod Chuck Norris.
Yarda	Posted - 2011.03.08 16:17:00 - [13] Nice idea! I vote for this: Small POS: 5 medium drones Normal POS: 5 heavy drones Large POS: 5 fighter drones
RavenPaine	Posted - 2011.03.09 16:32:00 - [14] Edited by: RavenPaine on 09/03/2011 16:35:46 +1 for this Idea. I like the 5/10/15 drone option myself. They could be connected to the starbase defense skill as well. Or create another skill. POS has Powergrid and CPU limits, so the "Anchored Drone Bay" could easily be balanced by CCP to add or subtract DPS. IMO, POS's have never had sufficient firepower. A previous poster mentioned 60 man fleets, but the reality is, a good 10 man fleet can take down any pos and never lose a ship. As for self repping, you can't rep things that you cant target, and you can't target things inside the bubble. Also, rep drones don't have a brain, they need to be told what to do. They don't self agro/rep.
Lord's Servant Amarr Total Mayhem. Northern Coalition.	Posted - 2011.03.10 04:41:00 - [15] Despite the obvious idea of just loading up ur POS with 10,000 "light" drone hangers and crashing node when u drop the equivalent of 100 supercarriers' worth of light drones....I think it could be a good idea. Make my POS just like my supercarrier, let it use fighterbombers and laugh as huge dread fleets get insta****d by fighterbomber-using POS's :) tl;dr - Theyd have to be very careful about balance, and tbqfh I think POS bashes can be laggy enough when there's opposition. Do we really need moar drones on the field? :P Maybe in 20 years when CCP has finally "fixed lag." -Lords -Lord's Servant
Guer	Posted - 2011.03.10 05:07:00 - [16] poses have drones already. They're called pod-pilots. Besides, drones are a pain in the ass weapon system for a pilot to use, I can imagine it being downright impossible for a structure without an active pos gunner to use.
