Dethra	Posted - 2005.11.01 20:59:00 - [1] let me start out by saying you'll have to forgive me; I didn't read all 700ish posts (23 pages) first. I know, someone's probably already posted this. Here's the problem: The thermal damage bonus only. Since it's percentage based, you can only use drones that do thermal damage, like the gallente specific ones. Thus, only ogres are affected by this bonus; which, you coudl say is cool, because they're gallente drones, and gallentes are the oens with all the drone stuff. HOWEVER, there are other races that have drone-boats. Arbitrator, Typhoon, etc. These boats now have to use ogres too, if htey want their drones to do as much as gallente drones do (with drone interfacing at any level, since it's thermal damage only.) This means it's utterly pointless to train for tech 2 drones besides ogres. You are in effect eliminating the point of having any drones besides gallente drones from the game. My main point, restated, is this: The thermal damage bonus will only affect gallente drones, meaning for anyone specializing in other drone types, drone interfacing is pointless, thus if you specialize in other drone types, you will always do less damage than gallente drones (because drone interfacing wont affect your drones.) This means it's pointless to use any droneboats besides gallente for damage. _______________________________ There is no signature.
