i dunno if anyone considered this already but if i use drones i like the amout i can control and not the simple damage output. i can use a little swarm of drones and its very entertaining...decreasing the max amout of controlled drones will screw up a lot of the style and realism in this game...of course pvp pilots dont care about any style effects of a mob of drones flying around ur ship but i think u have to stick with the amouts of drones since there a lot of ppl who like being able to control 15 and not just 5 drones...every novize player will be able to use 5 drones in a week of training...and drones wont be something special anymore. i think ccp cares too much about game performance atm and forgets about the effects all the content has on the players. dont waste a genial game concept for simple ôlagö reduction.

Guys if u really believe to decrease lag by nerfing drone amouts in space by replacing em with "special bonuses" u are wrong. ccp knows that there are events where players attend with 200+ ships in a single system and u also know that u cannot make a fleetbattle a lag free experience. the only thing i can say about this "drones use a lot of rescources" excuse is: u made em so stick with em, changing the game every 2 months makes players mad and u show everytime u forwarding a nerf that the opinion of the comunity isnt worth a nickel since u simply dont care.
anyway the new drones are a good idea, but due to stacking penalties i doubt they will be useful in their current value since they are to weak for a real combat situation. ew drones?! tbh noone will use em, they just too weak and noone will throw away the damage opportunity for a semi-efficient ew alternative. less drones with higher bonuses means less opportunity for balanced drone wings and a half dronebay means less possibility of having drones for particular situations in bay tho ( missle users have all flavours of missles in hold, why not the drone users ?). ppl use drones in pvp and pve less drones means less chance of overwhelming a target, pirate npcs will easily kill all ur drones since they targeting and tracking is superior and they can kill a decent amout of ur dronewings firepower by killing a single drone.

conclusion:
stop the nerfs, the beta tests are over and u have to stick with ur game concept. it isnt easy to make all ppl happy, but changing a game all the time makes em very angry for sure ! invest more time in balancing the gameplay before publishing something. and ffs u got 70k subscribers payin 10-15Ç/$ a month. it must be possible to reduce lag by another way than nerfing the game till its really screwed.
