probably not as it is not an issue, except for maybe a few special cases, so expect an update for them special cases in a few years. |

Ran some Sansha missions last night where I had to more or less clear a whole room with nothing but hobgoblins and hammerheads... they got shot up a bit, but none exploded.
Stop being bad. |

^what Paikis said :)
I'm running with drones all the time and there's no trouble whatsoever. Sure, I might lose one every once in a while, provided there's a bucketload of elite frigs on grid and I'm too busy doing something on my other account, paying less attention - happens about once a week. Then again, I've lost far more drones forgetting to pick em up when I warped off, so care. |

Use sentries and stop being terrible. This one's a bit over the edge guys.
Locked for breaking... well, pretty much all the rules.

I can't do that in a max skilled 4xDDA2 Rattler. I too would be interested to see that fit. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. |

I have done The Assault, World's Collide (Blood/Angel) and both Blood and Sansha's Blockades. I have lost the occasional drone, but I don't think I've lost more than 2 on any of those missions, and probably half of them I don't lose any drones. The Sanshas Blockade took me a fair while due to tracking disruption.
I have 1,073,073 SP in drones. This includes: Amarr Spec III Caldari Spec II Combat Drone Operation III Drone Durability III Drone Interfacing IV Drone Navigation IV Drone Sharpshooting IV Drones V E-war drones III Gallente Spec II Heavy Drones II Mining Drone Operation III Minmatar Drones II Repair Drone Operation III Scout Drone Operation V Sentry Drone Interfacing III
I also managed to train Pay Attention V, and Shoot Frigates with Guns V. |

OMG I have to pay attention, & I might loss a drone or two. Quit whining, go buy some big boy pants, or quit EvE.

I have been playing EVE for a lot of years -i am not a 0.0 player, sorry i cannot, i have a real life. I have several pilots with millions of SPs in drone skills. Specifically Mel Hython has almost ALL the possible SPs in drone skills, and used to drive a Navy Dominix, fitted basically for using drones as main weapon. His skills on hybrids are just crap. You can say, "why do you this? You can do a huge DPS using hybrids in Dominix, blah, blah...". An i will answer "why not?" One of the beauty of EVE is there is not 'proper way' to do whatever, the skills improve, on each level, your %s so slowly that a lot of different approaches are 'correct'. This is great to me, i can try a lot of different approaches. GREAT FUN!
Well, this character is basically unuseful now. I have tried in several ways. No problem, now he is returning to other funny activities, like ninja-mining. But please not say to me that drones are not really unuseful now -Oh, yes, sentries work, yeah, but they are terribly boring, basically they are other turrets, to be forced to use them i prefer to change the character and drive other ships.
I have other character that have all the SP in gunnery and so. She uses a command ship to do L4 missions -again you can say "commands for that, horror, blah, blah...", bah, why not?-, but her turrets are near to blind -even after she have trained ALL the Gunnery skills- to hit to the speed elite frigates. Normally she has been using medium T2 drones in order to kill these frigates. Currently, when she drop the mediums all the elite frigates change the target inmediatly and one drone is blown up in few seconds. Can she do the L4? Oh, yes... she can. But please don't say to me that the medium are not now unuseful, because that is the truth.
Drone -except sentries- are now near to unuseful, and probably the price in the market will show this truth soon. Other of the beauty of EVE. |
