Sunnie Day Black Aces Against ALL Anomalies 0	Posted - 2013.01.01 16:20:00 - [1] - Quote a simple idea that am suprised is not already in game,... i think there should be a option for Logistic Drones to orbit and repair just seens old that drones cant be used for self repairing in space,... Happy New Year everyone :)

Deacon Abox Genstar Inc Villore Accords 30	Posted - 2013.01.02 16:38:00 - [3] - Quote I believe the OP is talking about repairing the host ship, your own ship. The problem is that to have drones do something they need a target, and since one cannot target oneself . . Except when drones are on aggressive they target without the host ship having a target. Not sure if that mechanic could be adapted to this purpose.
Michael Loney Skullspace Industries 61	Posted - 2013.01.02 17:55:00 - [4] - Quote I have often wondered why have repair drones out don't automatically repair you with out targeting. Combat drones attack without target locks all the time. Ganking would become harder than ever if this was the case I guess.
Zyress Weapons of Divine Temper 132	Posted - 2013.02.21 17:12:00 - [5] - Quote + 1 bump I've been wondering about this too, it just seems unreasonable that logistic drones wouldn't service their host ship. I understand the problem with targeting yourself but this would not be difficult behavior to implement on the drone control menu, its just another menu item and the drones know what to do when you give them the target.
Omnathious Deninard Extrinsic Operations 532	Posted - 2013.02.21 17:15:00 - [6] - Quote I have also wondered the same thing, also why logistic drones do benefit from the drone interfacing skill. Ideas For Drone Improvement Updated 11/30/12Catastrophic Uprising is Recruiting
Frost 3 Desertus Caterva The Interstellar Trade n Terror Alliance 4	Posted - 2013.02.22 04:54:00 - [7] - Quote i like the idea of drone being able to rep your own ship. makes sense.
Nevyn Auscent Broke Sauce 154	Posted - 2013.02.22 07:26:00 - [8] - Quote There is a function for drones called 'Return & Orbit'. Just make Logistics drones automatically repair you any time they are orbiting you. No need to target them, just make it an auto feature. Pretty disco lights everywhere!
General Jack Cosmo University of Caille Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2013.02.23 10:14:00 - [9] - Quote what about a right click feature added instead of right clicking and engaging target another line for repair host ship? With lord Xanex by my side I can do anything (Atleast with a smile)-á!!!!
Iminent Penance Interstellar Military Assistance Corporation Black Core Alliance 35	Posted - 2013.02.23 10:19:00 - [10] - Quote can we also remote repair ourselves too? :3 troll carrier fits are funny, but a 50k dps tank self remote repairing troll god would be worth this change for the lulz and no more.

And its not some game breaking unbalance it will be like sacrificing dps for more tank,in case of drone boats sacrifice all dps for more tank :)) But its not like our ideas get read by anyone then other players...so i highly doubt this option will ever make it in game.Hope dies last but eventually dies.
Yolo Dominion of Inter-Celestial Kings SQUEE. 15	Posted - 2013.02.23 18:34:00 - [12] - Quote Drones are easy enough to kill anyway, I dont see why not.

I hate it when people say this on this subforum. the devs read it, but they don't respond to the threads because otherwise people will speculate on it and figure that an idea will never be implemented or will be implemented. only time I've seen a dev post was on a few threadnaughts where they devs finally came in to say along the lines of "yes, it's a good idea, we are looking into it".

I'm not whining or trolling, but this thread its not the first regarding this matter, this idea has been around since the logistic drones first came out, and that was what 6 ,7 years ago and still not a definitive answer, at least tell us yes or no, plain and simple, we may like or not like the answer they give us but at least we will stop posting same idea over and over again and try to think of some other ideas. An yes i know they can`t answer to all threads on this forum, because besides introducing a great deal of speculation in the community it will take all they're time to do so, leaving less time for them to develop something :D
Mr Holla Shadow Incursion Insidious Empire 0	Posted - 2013.04.22 23:58:00 - [15] - Quote would be nice to see this done,... just hope CCP reads the little things like this :)
Antal Marius No Bullshit Jokers Wild. 29	Posted - 2013.04.23 01:33:00 - [16] - Quote Even in a PvE situation, with the new drone aggro mechanics, you can't use the logic of "It's a permanent rep" anymore, since rats will shoot at them, and players will pewpew them in PvP situations. I'd love to be able to fly a drone boat that's buffer fit, go rat a few belts in lowsec, safe up somewhere, pop my drones, watch armor/shields get repped up, then go back for another round at the belts. It wouldn't be overpowered either, since only a few ships have a rep bonus for the logi drones. 9 ships, 4 bonus armor HP repaired, 5 bonus the shield amount repped. Basically, the logi ships are the only ones that have the bonus for it.
Commander Ted Caldari Provisions Caldari State 648	Posted - 2013.04.23 01:48:00 - [17] - Quote wouldn't be OP, a flight of lights would decimate logi drones rapidly in a 1v1 and with would be a awesome emergency tactic, +1'ed. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=174097 Separate all 4 empires in eve with lowsec.
DeLindsay Galaxies Fall 25	Posted - 2013.04.23 02:02:00 - [18] - Quote Quote: can we also remote repair ourselves too? :3 troll carrier fits are funny, but a 50k dps tank self remote repairing troll god would be worth this change for the lulz and no more. Point. Logistics Drones cannot repair the host ship for a reason. This gets suggested probably once a week and there's no reason for it. If you can't figure out how to tank your ship with all the resources CCP gives you then there's no hope for you. Besides, 5 Logi Drones in a ship with no bonuses to them are GARBAGE compared to ONE equivalent sized T2 local repair module as the local mod can be improved, Logi Drones cannot. Most times this gets asked so lazy Miners can be EVEN MOAR LAZY and fully AFK-play the game. I'm not trying to ruin the OP's day but seriously folks this is a bad idea that will give no REAL bonus/addition to gameplay that isn't already in the game (shield boosters/armor repair systems). Eve is easy people, stop asking CCP to make it even easier and lazier. Check out my post about some Drone lovin: Proposed Drone Improvement
Mr Holla Shadow Incursion Insidious Empire 0	Posted - 2013.04.23 11:21:00 - [19] - Quote how would this help miners,... rats would just kill the drones anyways,... true it wouldnt add much, but it be useful in rare moments. and there is lots of stuff that dont add much to the game and ppl still use them :) its just a realitic thing realistic thing u'd expect to see
ExAstra Echoes of Silence Kraken. 27	Posted - 2013.04.23 11:55:00 - [20] - Quote +1. I've never understood why this wasn't a feature, I don't see it becoming game breaking or anything. It could add some variety to solo/small gang combat. Save the drones!
Xe'Cara'eos A Big Enough Lever 25	Posted - 2013.04.23 16:46:00 - [21] - Quote in PVE scenarios, including belt rats, these days, they'd go straight for the drones, thereby reducing your tank, and then onto you..... the drones MUST NOT be able to auto-switch between repairing each other and repairing host..... as there are no cap repair drones, this wouldn't give a carrier much more than LAR, not a huge amount of rep, considering, and logi drones will be smartbombed by any sane FC (at least, I'd hope so.....) I can't see how this will cause a problem, at least not yet, please feel free to enlighten me....
Antal Marius No Bullshit Jokers Wild. 29	Posted - 2013.04.23 17:38:00 - [22] - Quote I'm still for it, due to the laughable amount of HP repped by the drones. It's not so much a matter of it being your primary tank, it'd just be funny to laugh at people who rely on it as their main tank.
Mike Voidstar Voidstar Free Flight Foundation 119	Posted - 2013.04.23 17:49:00 - [23] - Quote It's one of my pet peeves as well. Not that the Logi drones would be super effective and allow anyone to do nearly anything they can not do now, the things are just not that effective unless you are using big ones on small ships. It just makes no sense that you cannot have a drone aid your own ship, but it will aid anyone else. You should be able to put them on automatic, and they immediatly start on any damaged ally in range, including yourself or your own drones. As with current drone AI, they would not switch off their current target until it is fully repaired unless otherwise ordered. Edit: Also, I'd love some structure drones. Every once in a while I or a corpie undocks with some structure damage unrepaired and I'd carry a flight just to fix that.
Mr Holla Shadow Incursion Insidious Empire 0	Posted - 2013.05.07 01:05:00 - [24] - Quote with Ships with big drone bays i'd carrier logi drones to repair betweens fights if am using buffer tank this would be more of a small gank/solo thing :)
Fer'isam K'ahn Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 2	Posted - 2013.06.01 23:17:00 - [25] - Quote +1 was just wondering about this myself, they should auto target, if not assigned, and they detect a friendly ships (host included) with less then 100% shield strength. Hope any dev sees this, so bump up +++
Maximus Aerelius PROPHET OF ENIGMA 84	Posted - 2013.06.02 01:05:00 - [26] - Quote +1. When I trained for these I thought this is what they were for...now I just rep my young padawans. Good post OP! EDIT: While you're reading why not swing by my idea. Links in my sig. My Feature\Idea:-á Fast Character Switching "XP Stylee" Here's my tear jar > \|_\| < Fill 'er up!
