Paladyn Griffith	Posted - 2005.11.14 19:15:00 - [1] Tux, I do agree that drones need overhauling, but I believe you've overshot the target. Drone sizes just got cut, and the dronebays got reduced, so players could pick up drones easier and they would take up less space in their CARGO BAYS ! Not that it made any difference in server lag, which is the purpose of this round. Reducing drone bay sizes, while increasing damage output, will make players use smaller drones instead of fewer. If I can control a maximum of 10 drones, then I want 10 out there, and smaller means faster speed to reach their target (Gallente Ogre = the Fire and Forget drone that can't even catch a torpedo). EXAMPLE- A Celestis cruiser has an 80m3 drone bay. That's 8 medium drones. It the bay was cut to 40m3, that's 8 light drones that will do the damage of 6 mediums do now, assuming all the drones are combat and not a mix of EW, webber,etc. The idea of overhauling the drones is a good thing, but fewer changes will make things go easier on us players.
