Drone management is bad (lol carriers?), drone usage is bad, drone performance is bad, drone stats are bad, they've been nerfed (while it was bad server side before loosing a drone since the change the interfacing means more), etc. They only had 2 real viable uses: 1) Structure bashing- Having a lot of drones on pos guns, caps, and super caps did help the killing go faster. (Note only sentries worked on bashing the actual pos with the shields up) 2) PVE- The ai (except in wormholes and sometimes incursions) would generally ignore the drone making them an effective long term applied damage on a target, assuming the target was around for a while and the drone managed to get all the way over there. Now, the drones are only good at bashing. C.C.P. has said that they're not against drones. That they want to fix drones. But their actions speak otherwise. Whatever happened to that drone thing that would go on your f2 button? Why does CCP never mention a fix for drones except one time once in fan fest almost a year ago? I think it's time CCP seriously considers the future of drones even if they remove them all together and ships adjusted to compensate. Too long have drones gone ignored. There just isn't anything intresting on the front page of the GD anymore. Yawn!

There just isn't anything intresting on the front page of the GD anymore. Yawn!

It'd be really nice if we could use nanite repair paste on drones while in the hold to repair them There just isn't anything intresting on the front page of the GD anymore. Yawn!
