Well as the title says the devs are now using the big nerf stick on drones.
The replies to the dev Blog were many and some very strongly worded prompting the moderator to step in.
But to raise points from those replies here;
Firstly this nerf has nothing to do with gameplay or balancing but to do with server lag. In ohter words its a technical fudge.
secondly it contrradicts the gallente storyline and makes a complete mockery of the concept of Drone carrier ships as even they will be limited to 5 Drones.
You can better deal with Lag by removing all the unused secure cargo containers from all the belts. Various ways of doing this have been suggested over the past months.
we the players pay the wages of those at CCP so its time they started to take some notice of us.
I do feel that the above comments convey the basic message from the Dev Blog replies without the obvious anger being displayed by many posters. I do feel that CCP have really not thought all this through.
Please feel free to add to this post with your views on the dev blog post.

Yes it is indeed a joke. I've always gone along with Changes to the Game as I've seen beyond the nerf into what it will bring. This will Bring alot of cancelled subscriptions.
Some please start a Petition to Save the Drones.
Say No To 5 Drones.

Gods...
I love these devblogs, really. I'm crying because drones are getting boosted, others are crying because they are getting nerfed, the skies are falling upon us, all carebears will murder the ebil piwate griefers, CCP are doomed, the travel-time will increase, the prices of missiles will drop dramantically, the playerbase will quit, my cat will cancel her 4 accounts, it will cause an economic crash in iceland, Europa will fall apart, the server will cause nuclear explosions in Beijin.
Haaaaa really I enjoy all these OMG CCP NURF things These made my day happy
(the "I'm a paying customer CCP has to do what I tell" thing still makes me sick though)

you mean Domi pilots will have to actually fit guns to be able deal damage, and compromise uber tank and ECM immunity? Or do you mean Thorax pilots won't be dealing twice as much damage as other cruisers anymore? oh noes...

Domi pilots needing to fit guns ? Why? they will be doing same damage with less but thougher drones.
My good old rax will be nerfed but not cos of drone changes but due to MK2 project :(.
But now I will be able to have 5 med drones (*2 damage drones) wich can replace a med slot (EW or Web) or a low slot (Reaper). Wow I think I will complain about all that.

Ohh dont forget that in the original BLOG...
There was NO MENTION of anything to replace the 5 to 10 drones that all miners would lose. Only myself and 2 or 3 others out of the many posts even picked up on that one and we posted our discontent on behalf of all miners out there.
In the new blog there was SPECIFIC language added to include provisions for NOT SCREWING miners.
I would suggest in future EVERYONE who reads these forums to check blogs when they come out, or you may find one day as you attempt to stand up tall, that CCP has removed your legs.

All I care about is if old drone issues will be fixed that have no mentionin the blogs;
Combat targeting logic
Flight pathing and speed boosting
Command reception and execution
These are what I had always hoped woiuld be contained in the drone blogs, so far I am dissapointed, but hopeful.. All the rest mentioned about the changes seems fine to me. We will adapt and move on.

They target what you tell them to, It you leave them on their own thats your own fault. Whats wrong with the Flight Path's ? They go straight to target and kill it.
Command reception and exectution. Right click Attack drones Fly off and kill couldn't be any simpler.
The drone changes are indeed a boost, but Alot of people are pee'ed off because the drone interfacing skill is now pointless. I Trained that skill because I wanted extra Drones Not because I wanted extra drone damage. I dont want 5 drones I want 14 or 15. Like I keep on saying , the dominix is going to look a joke with 5 drones, and as for carriers . ooooh Scary ((NOT)
If they want to get rid of lag, They should, remove bookmarks and make it limited number you can have according to a skill level. Remove The Annoying " I WTFPWNCOPTER'd U YESTERDAY" CAns as they are a waste of space. Even the Speedway cans, get rid of those as well.
