My only problen with the additional types of drones being introduced is the versatlity being added to any ship that can float them while ships that have no drone bay will be left out in the dark.

Take for instance Maller vs. Thorax. Currently a fairly even matchup in that a good pilot in either can defeat the other. With the proposed system all drone bays will be cut in half further reducing the Rax drone bay to 50m3. But it will still be able to float 5 medium drones of which it has the choice of tracking disruptors or ew to nullify the Mallers guns, neuts to burn its cap or better yet, webber drones. These could effectively free up a Rax's midslot for a cap booster instead of a web for example.

Note the above is just an example and not another anti Rax rant...been enough of those. It's just an example of how the versatility of any ship capable of floating any sort of dronage, and its imo unbalancing advantage it will give them vs. their non drone capable counterparts.

Btw, if I'm "missing" some counterpoint my apologies if its already been brought up. But being up to 36 pages I couldn't bring myself to look through more than a half dozen or so.

"More" good news for drone users. Currently on the test server drone base damage hp has been increased.

Lights from 4 to 7.5

Medium from 9 to 12

Heavy from 22 to 24

I just had to post again as this arguing of 15 vs 5 and various other numbers made me think of the following:

Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven
