El'hith	Posted - 2005.11.01 11:37:00 - [1] cant be bothered to read all of the above so im just gonna repeat my comment from the dev blog : basically i know this is a attempt to balance/add versitility to drones and the game the prob is the way its been suggested kills off (imo) the character of drone carriers so just as a idea (as a compramise) keep all the stuff the same as planned 4 development, BUT the damage bonus drone ships would now get should be kept as the +1 per level so if that was implimented drone ships eg the domi could command 10 drones with max'd out skills, which would still get the hp bonus and damage bonus given by the changed INTERFACING skill. personally i think thats a better way to go coz it means that drone ships keep their ingame character and it should cut down on some lag. atm one of the things i love is the effect as u launch drones :) so El'hith starts the petetion to save the domi/ishtar/vexor/arby +1 drone commanded per level !!! (drop interfacing if u must but u cant take our +1's from us :p ) (ps or u could keep things as they are )

El'hith	Posted - 2005.11.01 12:31:00 - [5] one other point is, im not sure if im right but by doing this u are making it easier 4 ppl to train 4 non gall ships to get the same damage output, coz uradding skills and stuff which would prob take longer to train than missile skills say. dunno will look into starting to train 4 a raven/missiles when i log on coz im betting it wil be a better use of my time than further improving my drone skills also plz plz plz plz plz dont go ahead with the patch DEFINATLY not in its current form. the amount of debate already here shows that the community are divided over whether this is a good idea. oh further point is i know this is meant to help most races (hey all races get these changes) but in doing so the gallentine go downhill.... mega domi temp (geddon?) etc, they will all have 5 drones tops, 5 drones are easier to kill off even with the bonus's. although my corp m8s didnt belive me at this think of it this way ok say i have a command range of 40km, atm i can lauch and set drones to attack from here (say all 15) one or 2 may get popped on the way over if the person attacks em with the patch they cal easily take out each wave on its way in coz theres only 5 going out at a time... the reduced drone bay means i have less reserves so the domi is essentially nerfed as a drone ships coz it cant keep up the waves it has atm.. this may be a load of cr*p to some ppl but it makes sense to me keep the racial bonus 4 gall ships (and the arby) even if u have to implement the rest of the changes to keep every1 else happy if u cant keep the drone command bonus 4 certain ship types DONT GO ahead with the patch.

El'hith	Posted - 2005.11.01 14:41:00 - [9] Originally by: Kirtan Loor Originally by: Tuxford Changing racial damage types to all damage types. Thanx tux... On this thread there was a suggestion...it was something like: Make drones look like drone squads. Really this is not a very bad idea...just make drone models put 3 X's on the screen instead of 1 and update the model slightly so that 3 drones are flying instead of 1(I dont know if this can be done)...and give 3 trails if possible. Lots of people including me love the swarming drones....this might just give the looks :) Thanx for the damage types again. or even better just do this on gall ships!! to keep swarmers like meeee happy lol :p yeah and i agree some gall bs's need some grid cpu balancing to bring em inline with the other BS's out there
