fukier Flatline. 127	Posted - 2012.11.12 18:30:00 - [1] - Quote OK CCP you guys said that you were going to do something with the drones for retribution... like add mod drops or something like that... Dec 4th is only 3 weeks away but yet we haven't heard anything about this other then there is a dev blog being written about it... Any news on if/when this elusive blog will come out? I just hope it does not take too long to get this out as i would like to try this out on the test server before release... I am hopping for some cool stuff from faction drops and officer drones... At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box.

I certainly hope so, because that would not be fun to keep track of. zubzubzubzubzubzubzubzub

Different people have different types of thought patterns. Typically those who excel at logic tend to be lacking in language skills. There is a reason why the engineering departments at many colleges are loaded with Dyslexics who tend to score much higher in math and science and much lower in language. If language is easy for you then great but for other's a little misspelling here and there is not a big deal. This is a forum and I think it's silly to expect people to have perfect grammar here. It would be different if we were writing a novel. A buddy of mine who graduated at the top of his class and went to a very prestigious college once told me that there was bumper sticker available where he went to school that said " before I couldn't even spell engineer and now I are one". It was an on going joke due to the famously poor grammar of all the PHD engineers

Central A.I. which then hacked into the drones and took controll of them... pretty much the hive mind queen of all rogue drones... From a PR lore thing the gal drones were being used to explore the "drone regions" then became self aware and the gal had to shut off the regions they infected... something around these lines to make rogue drones an actual factions...

Vincent Athena V.I.C.E. 1136	Posted - 2012.11.15 14:38:00 - [36] - Quote I just looked at the Officer drone damage amplifier. The T2 version now does +23% damage. The officer ones top out at +24.0455%. The gain it tiny. As such they will have a value that is only a little higher than the T2 version. Not much of a boost for Null sec. Lets compare that to another damage mod: Gyrostabs Gyro: T1: +7%, T2: +10%, Best Faction: +12.5%, Best Officer: +15% Drone damage amp: T1: +16%, T2: +23%, Best faction: N/A, Best Officer: +24.0455 For a similar progression the best officer one should be at +32% or so. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/

Roll Sizzle Beef Space Mutiny 1635	Posted - 2012.11.15 16:42:00 - [41] - Quote These are less like officer mods, and more like deadspace level. Yet since they drop from specific hosts, its the best way to classify them, specially when drone stuff isn't size related except DCUs. So standard variations like Gistii,Gistum,Gist wouldn't work. One thing I wish they would do is offer augmented drone bpcs of logistic and e-war drones that are worth a damn. Imagine a web drone that's actually useful?

BinaryData Kleinrock Heavy Industries Kleinrock Group 7	Posted - 2012.11.17 20:54:00 - [51] - Quote I'm sorry, but this is awesome. Minus the "Officer Drone Control Unit". I understand why CCP didn't give them +2 drones per unit, cause well lets face it, 5 turns into 10, and 30 Fighter Bombers per Supercap would just be a bit op. I suggest that since these Officer mods don't affect capitals that CCP add Fighter Bonuses & Fighter Bomber Bonuses to them. Increase to speed, damage, agility, sig reduction, etc. It's high time CCP actually balanced the Fighters & Fighter Bombers. The Shadow Fighter Bomber is actually not that great, especially for the cost of building 20 of them. You'll pay nearly 4billion for BPC runs, each drone is worth 300m. So, what say you, CCP? Release Skills, modules, etc that will give supers & carriers the ability to increase their drone dependency. Also, since drone mechanics suck balls, fix those too. Last but not least, I wouldn't mind two modules being added in. Drone Link Extender - Increases the amount of bandwidth you can have (Cruiser Class - battleship class). Drone Bay Extender - Increases your drone bay (IF you have one to start with). Rig Versions as well please. These items would be beneficial, it would change fits, etc..

The officer ones top out at +24.0455%. The gain it tiny. As such they will have a value that is only a little higher than the T2 version. Not much of a boost for Null sec. Lets compare that to another damage mod: Gyrostabs Gyro: T1: +7%, T2: +10%, Best Faction: +12.5%, Best Officer: +15% Drone damage amp: T1: +16%, T2: +23%, Best faction: N/A, Best Officer: +24.0455 For a similar progression the best officer one should be at +32% or so. yeah i second that... any news on when we can test these? i know they are on bucki but they are not seeded to the market... so its hard to test thier effectiveness... though vincent is right... 24.0455% is way way way too low... how is it too low? faction damage mods for guns. 12.5% & officer damage mods a whole whopping 15%. turret damage mods get a 2.5% range of from faction to tier 14 ( officer ) drone damage mods out do that full stop.

Drone Link Extender - Increases the amount of bandwidth you can have (Cruiser Class - battleship class). Drone Bay Extender - Increases your drone bay (IF you have one to start with). Rig Versions as well please. These items would be beneficial, it would change fits, etc.. these should be rigs not mods.

Dec 4th is only 3 weeks away but yet we haven't heard anything about this other then there is a dev blog being written about it... Any news on if/when this elusive blog will come out? I just hope it does not take too long to get this out as i would like to try this out on the test server before release... I am hopping for some cool stuff from faction drops and officer drones... edit: here is the List of new Drone mods I hate to say it but I don't think they really thought these mods through properly. Lets go down the list by type: Drone Link Augmentor: Who cares, these are virtually never used. Drone Control Unit: The ships that primarily fit these have plenty of powergrid and CPU, so buying a super expensive one is a non starter. Drone Navigation Computer: See Drone Link Augmentor Drone Damage Amp: This may actually be useful, but I could see it never being used due to high costs and the future drone changes making PVE drones a giant pain in the ass. The ships that these would do well on regardless tend to use a type of drone that isn't affected by amps: Fighters and Fighter Bombers. Omnidirectional Tracking Link: These on the other hand are the mods I think that will end up getting the best sales. I'm going to pitch my hat into the ring with some of the others and say that drones should drop interesting meta rigs in their complexes.
Julius Priscus 9	Posted - 2012.11.18 02:59:00 - [59] - Quote living in the drone regions my self. me and at least two others in corp all think the same thing these "changes" will not do a damn thing for the drone regions because ccp will fail at buffing drone space. its in need of the following. random loot drops in wrecks better complex's namely 1,4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 ded ratings. with some semi good drops to make up for the lack of dead space mods. escalations that are similar to other null sec regions.

A) There's only like 3 big alliances in the Drone Regions, us, ED, and Solar, and Solar is more than half renters. B) And more importantly, everyone here, except Solar becuase of renters, are apart of some of the poorest organizations in the game. Like almost any Incursion group is better off than us. Really I'm taking the long way around to say ***** cram it. CCP is finally starting to make the Drone Lands worth a **, even if these mods alone will change nothing, but it's a start and that's what matters.

More risk should equal more reward. I've killed two ratting carriers within the last two months that were running complexes that would escalate into sites that would drop mods like these. The average NPC corp mission runner puts literally nothing on the line, ever. The Drone regions need buffs, bad.
