I guess there is no need to remind you that these are all first numbers and will be tweaked a bit before they go live. I'm also rather interested to see how the tracking disrupting drones and sensor dampening work once the new stacking penalty comes in

EWAR drones

They all come in 3 sizes, small, medium and large. The small one being 5m^3, medium 10m^3 and large 25m^3.

    bad, simply bad


    drones are a failure in itself since thy dont require PG/CPU and Cap to operate. Its awfull enough that thy actually do damage, but giving them the possibility to do everything in this game is just wrong.

    If there is any reason for this, please tell me, I cant see the point to make the imbalanced drone ships more imbalanced yet...

    It also makes the arbitor an even stronger EW ship as it will be in mk2 anyway...

    Tuxford, what in Tomb's hell are you doing? These new drones will make Gals the end all of ships period. Sure other ship can use drones, but not as effective as a Gal ship.

    The Domi is already the "Do Almost Everything Ship," now (with these changes) it really will be the "Do Everything Ship."

    Oh man, just think of the Moa with its +5 drone bonus...The end of Eve is at hand!

    imho, reduce the EW strength of the Ewar drones, and maintain the drone bonus of the vexor/GN vexor/arbitrator/ishtar/dominix. Removing the drone control bonus from them kinda kills the entire Drone Boat thing.

    That said, another kind of nerf or boost or whatever, could be implemented, for example, you can launch 10 drones, but you are restricted by skill to launch a maximum of 5 EW drones.


    ...maybe a skill for each field?
    something like "sensor linking drone interface" skill or "electronic countermeasures drone interface" skill

    they would require drone interface 4, and would be a rank4/5 skill or so.

    Also restricting the damage to thermal seems kinda harsh.

    Oh and low the drone interface requirements to drone 4 too.


    And finally, the light drone damage issue.

    Can it be done in the way that 2 light drones damage > 1 medium drone damage?

    Like that it would be viable to use light drones over mediums, but still 5 medium drones damage > 5 light drones damage.
    (the above light drone boost idea is not mine btw)


    EDIT: what about the mining drones? 5 T2 mining drones are kinda pathetic, when compared with a single T2 miner afaik?
    Don't know the calculations. Can someone do it for me?

    Hmm...love it.
    But i don¯t like the "thermal only" bonus.

    On the otrher hand: If the vexor and the domi can hold more than 5 medium/large drones in their bay, they can switch between EWAR and damage drone.

    With the reduction to 5 drones per ship, smartbombs will be even less used than they are today.
    (Would be interesting to see from the stats how many ships have smartbombs fitted and are using them.)

    Will smartbombs get an improvement with this drone change? Maybe give them their supposed 'smartness' so they can be used in empire, too.
    An idea would be to add a smartbomb that puts out a shockwave that disables drones (for a while) because killing them doesn't seem very effective anymore (with smartbombs).
