Ive got a feeling it will be neglible given that more people will be using drones overall.. even if the max numbers are reduced per person.. what sort of lag we talking about anyway? client side graphic lag? or server->client lag from the need to send data regarding each drones position/actions? GFX lag could be reduced by adding a setting in options along the lines of 'render drones - yes/no' just leaving the X's on screen. 3) what is your current definition of the term "drone carrier"? as having 1 or 2 more drones than a battleship seems a bit lame. I liked swarms... they looked awesome in action dont you think? What he said
