Fevair	Posted - 2005.09.15 18:52:00 - [3] Yup, the lag would be sick. And of course serpentis npc's would be a little less of a joke Originally by: HippoKing oh yeah, multiple exclaimation marks are a sure sign of a deranged mind

Kerby Lane	Posted - 2005.09.15 19:00:00 - [8] because NPCs are drones.
infused	Posted - 2005.09.15 19:03:00 - [9] I love how everyone uses lag as a defence. Yea right. [EvE Domination] YARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
Feryal	Posted - 2005.09.15 20:49:00 - [10] You would realy trust CCP to put in something like drones controlling drones? ;)
Ticondrius	Posted - 2005.09.15 20:51:00 - [11] Can we say "Self-destructing NPCs"?
Tar om	Posted - 2005.09.15 21:11:00 - [12] Originally by: SengH I need to buy spider drones to replace my stupid ogres.... that would be nice. hmmmm, Drone Taming.

R31D	Posted - 2005.09.15 21:30:00 - [13] You know, if Serp's got faction drones it'd make up for the rest of their..crummy... loot (especially the armour tank mods) Free bumpage for all
Lisa Run	Posted - 2005.09.16 13:11:00 - [14] A spawn with 3 dominix and 45 heavy drones approaching. Good that I hunt with a long-range setup at the moment... Sorry, my fantasy.
Verizana	Posted - 2005.09.16 16:39:00 - [15] Originally by: TEALEAF Edited by: TEALEAF on 15/09/2005 18:51:26 they drop m so why dont they use em ? i dont get it. They just forget :P No it took CCP 2 years to make Return to drone bay command so it will take much much much longer to make that commands for NPCs
Roshan longshot	Posted - 2005.09.16 16:53:00 - [16] I would like to see a high slot item that would in affect disable drones. Drones are the bane of a frigate pilot (ask 5 of my corp mates) If there was a special item to disable a drone for easy clean up that would be great. Free-form Professions, ensure no limetations on professions. Be a trader, fighter, industialist, researcher, hunter [i]pirate[/i] or mixture of them all. [i]As read from the original box.

I agree, there should be a scramble drones mod, though there should also be a drone armor rep mod also. Go Fred!
Darodem	Posted - 2005.09.16 17:09:00 - [18] Aye I think the official explanation is - That most NPC are drones - otherwise why would they be so prevalent in deep space. The rogue drones are npc that seem to use drones though ie a battleship accompanied by many drones. Some of the NPC should use drones too though.

Jet Max	Posted - 2005.09.16 18:52:00 - [20] Was there a time when NPC's used drones? about a year and a half ago? Cos i am 100% sure and i am not making things up, when i was doing lvl 3 mission 2 NPC ships released the drones on me and thats when i lost my precious Thorax. And i remeber screaming in my corp chat "wtf NPC's uses drones?"
Basileus	Posted - 2005.09.16 18:57:00 - [21] Edited by: Basileus on 16/09/2005 18:58:15 Quote: Why Dont NPC Use Drones ? I'm sure that in a distant past they used to use drones. But then these drones wandered off and refused to settle to the drone bay. The NPCs petitioned, but didn't get reimbursed. In the end they just gave up.

I would say look in to a smart bomb or a burst jaming device to kill/disable drones but some how I am sure you have some reison for not useing them already. Your not stupid just misinformed Ö
evilGold	Posted - 2005.09.18 11:23:00 - [24] Drones are good as is.
Derron Bel	Posted - 2005.09.18 14:48:00 - [25] Laaaaaaag. I'm pretty sure. And dealing with frigates is bad enough. Plus they would need to enhance drone AI alot. -==- Holy-Jim> as you know, surprise is the key to victory.....surprise! LooseCannoN> ahh! LooseCannoN> my plans have been foiled!
jbob2000	Posted - 2005.09.18 15:58:00 - [26] Well i'd say the spider drones you see in some missions could be classified as 'drones' In that one mission (i think its angel extravaganza) at the end there's 2 spiders and some bs. You could say that the bs is using those spiders.
