Not much change here actually. All new NPCs I create will have player like fits and hopefully one day I will have time to go over the older NPCs.. this is a lot of work though ;)
I'm sure that'll be interesting.
So you're saying we'll have Neuting, Webbing, Scramming all on one ship? From frigates to battleships?

Five 0 are reading all the feedback and making sure the concerns raised are included in tests they do. Unfortunately, we cannot halt all development until we make sure everyone is 100% happy with the changes being made, but what we can do is take your concerns on board and make sure we negate them prior to release.
I think the bigger concerns at this point highlighted from the other thread (The main comment thread) - are that sites from 5/10-6/10, and 10/10s, etc are going to become way too overpowered to bring both DPS and Tank. Possible? Yes. But, unintentionally "nerfing" how fast people can do these sites is peoples fundamental concerns (always about the money).
What needs to be tested is bringing 2-3 man groups into 6/10s up to 10/10s and see how difficult it becomes to kill **** in realistic setups that can survive low/null sec.
Because, being forced to take 2-3 ubertanked battleship to take those sites is a pain the bigger and the more ships you need to take.

Have you seen T2 Large Laser Crystal costs? lol
Get off your high horse.
Not only are they expensive, they also break eventually. We should just ask CCP to have drones take "ammo" damage and eventually break. And before you say something about "noone uses faction lasers for missions" or some nonsense, noone is forcing you to use T2 drones.

Yes I do read the posts :) and lots of us devs do live in HI SEC - but we have to move forward.. we can't just never update the NPCs because people are scared of the new challenge it might present.
Well I'm not afraid of new challenges. My concern is that currently, the drone boats only niche is PVE. They are very rarely used in PVP because missiles/guns are far more effective and reliable at applying damage. If this new AI is too aggressive towards drones then it will only serve to make drone boats even more redundant.
You're scared, admit it. Scared that drones won't have somewhere special to be or something. We can buy them a little orphanage in Tibet and let them all go there and spend the rest of their mechanical little lives dreaming of Nirvana.
Seriously, the DRONES WILL BE OK. I promise! They will BE OK!
