[1861] Personally, I am hoping to see some other skills relating to the EW and support drone classes too. With the right pre-requisites, it would mean people wanting to use, say, large jamming drones would have to train up to use that. Also, are there any dev comments yet on the full new drone skill set? -- jamesw Rubra Libertas Militia NEW Vid: Bobbing for Xelas |

[1863]Quote: This makes a point I think, drone ships having more drones was part of their style, like the rifters speed bonus. Even if you can work the numbers so things balance out, the style has gone, and that's important. |

[1867]Originally by: j0sephine Around 30km. Dominix is too slow to dictate engagement range, at least on defencive ops. |

[1869]Originally by: FarjungVERY slightly more, and combined with the FAR less lock times, this results in overall less survivability. This coupled with less total damage over time, as you have 50% more travel time with the drones. Quote:It's not about telling them to launch and attack, it's about travel times. 50% more travel time is 50% more travel time, regardless of how good you are with the interface. Additionally, this is assuming you live long enough to go through all your drones and wait for wave upon wave to travel to the target. |

[1871]Originally by: Tiny CarlosQuote: No, style means nothing for balance. The rifter needs its speed because of the weapons it carrys. The new rifter, well, I for one will be packing a nano. Drone ships will be MORE effective with the new modules. "Corpse cannot be fitted onto ship. Only hardware modules can be fitted." |

[1873]Originally by: Maya RkellExplain how a Dominix with the new modules is MORE effective than a Megathron with the new modules? Or are you saying you think only the Dominix can fit the new modules? Dominix will be less effective with the new drones and the new modules in comparison to their efficacy now, as they will be about the same effectiveness as non-drone ships. |

[1879]Originally by: Maya RkellI did, kthx. If you can't argue facts, don't spout random false statements please. Nowhere in either devblog has it said that a Dominix is better with ECM drones than a Megathron (same with all the other new drones, except maybe sentry drones, which is unclear as to wether or not the Dominix bonus will apply to them), thats the entire point I've been making for about 8 pages now. I'm not sure if people have just missed all my posts, or just can't understand english.Originally by: Kaell MeynnOriginally by: Maya RkellExplain how a Dominix with the new modules is MORE effective than a Megathron with the new modules?

[1880] Edited by: Kaell Meynn on 03/11/2005 00:14:48 Edited by: Kaell Meynn on 03/11/2005 00:12:42 I've read it many times. Myabe you were unclear in what you meant. You could have meant either Dominix is more effective with the new modules than the Dominix was pre-patch, or you could have meant the Dominix is more effective with the new modules than a non-Dominix with the new modules. I assumed the second, as that's what we've been discussing, and that one is false. If you meant the former, what import does that have when 90% of other ships also get the same bonus? That doesn't address the issue that the others get more of a bonus from the changes than the drone carrier does. |

[1881]Originally by: Maya RkellOriginally by: Tiny Carlos And drone Interfacing requires Drones 5, a rank 1 skill, which is a somewhat easy skill to train fully for newbies who would like to specialize. The change makes things far better for specialization in drone carriers really. For Gallente ships, you have blaster boats then drone ships. But everyone trains drones anyway for their non drone carrier ships so it hardly makes the drone skill tree very special. |

Dominix will be less effective with the new drones and the new modules in comparison to their efficacy now, as they will be about the same effectiveness as non-drone ships. A Megathron is a tier II battleship and the Dominix is tier I so I hope no one expects them to be the same. Unless you want to put Megathron sales into the toilet. For Kaell, just to throw this out there, if EWar drones weren't even on the table, do you think the Dominix would be just be as effective or moreso after the change as it is now? |

[1885] Edited by: Kaell Meynn on 03/11/2005 00:25:54 Originally by: DerranI expect the Dominix to be much better at using drones than the Megathron, but be less powerfull overall, just as the Scorpion is much better at EW than the Raven. Quote:If all of the new drones were scrapped, I'd think it would be about a wash as to wether it was better or worse off. I don't like that the drones will be easier to kill because they are easier to lock and the fielded drones have about 70% of the HPs as the fielded drones do now, but this is slightly mitigated by their reduced vulnerability to smartbombs, and thier ability to field a third wave of drones in drawn out combats (not common of PvP). With the new drone modules (which we have no specs on), and the new skills (also no specs on them), I think this might make a Dominix a little better off than it was before the changes, it's a pretty close wash overall given Locktimes, FieldableHPs, ReserveHPs, Overdamage, and NewSkills. IF and ONLY IF the new drones aren't implemented. If they are, then the changes help non-Dominix more than they do Dominix. Don't get me wrong, I think the new drones are cool and add some flavor to the game, but currently it's at the expense of the Dominix... the Dominix just needs to have a +10%/level drone efficiency bonus, as it effectively does now, rather than a Damage and Mining and slight HP only bonus (and I think they are saying the Dominix doesn't get the mining bonus, just without stating it explicitly because they know people will rightfully complain). |

[1887] Then either EW drones are stupidly overpowered, or are worthless on any other ships. Won't fly, can't fly. "Corpse cannot be fitted onto ship. Only hardware modules can be fitted." |

[1889] Edited by: Derran on 03/11/2005 00:38:32 Originally by: Kaell Meynn Don't forget they are got a HP increase in the works that will do exactly that. Make combat last longer. Originally by: Kaell Meynn What exactly is making you say they are easier to lock and kill? I thought I read somewhere that the sig radius is getting a tweak that should make it take longer to lock. Right now, with my sig analysis skill at 4, it took me 12s to lock a wasp. 12s is a long time. I would think it would be time enough for one of those drones to reach me and get so close my large guns probably wouldn't be able to hit it. I only say this because I never bothered actually shooting at drones while in combat before. I would just kill the ship controlling them unless I had a large smartbomb on. |
