NEW
I hate the changes that are done to the damage dealing drones, but I like the other utility drones.

Well... "Current" BUT if it really reduce the lag significant, i say lets go for it...
But on the other hand, a Dominix/vexor/isthar/and so on with only 5 drones?!...

I want the new systems. All my arguments are stated in the dev blog so there isnt really any point of posting them here to. So... well... yeah

Well, after reading the second drone devlog, if I had to choose I'd cautiously lean toward the new one. I still have concerns about the Dominix getting less benefit from the new system than other battleships do, but I'm willing to give it a try.

New, but I dislike the idea of ewar/stasis drones.
Also nothing bad is happening to the dominix you get 3 waves of drones and the same power as before. Unless your mining in it, then you lose 5 mining drones worth of yield, thats about the only nerf?

New, because I like new things and obviously, learning to use the new system quicker than those that can't is to my advantage!
Also, this game gets a bit dull and things like this liven it up a bit.

I absolutely wholeheartedly vote for the new drones, because I really hate the current system.
I am an Ishkur, Vexor and Dominix pilot (Ishtar isn't happening anytime soon though)
Vote: 2

Current.
Dominix, Typhoon, Ishtar, Thorax, Vexor, Armageddon Will all look a joke with 5 drones coming out of them.
(Yes we need the new drones but we dont need less drones)
Introduce the new Specialization drones and only allow one in flight at a time, with the other drones. NOT gimp us all with 5 Drones

Current system hands down.
15 drones fun, 5 drones (which anyone can get in 6 days) meh. Takes a big part of the "I'm a drone specialist" out of the equation. And now any ship that can field 5 heavies (125M3 bay) will be able to train up the same base damamge as a drone carrier had at 15 drones.
New drones help those who don't rely on them, and despite boosts it will still be easier to neuter a drone ship that it was before. All the new drones do is give every non drone ship free Highs, mids, lows, and damage after a couple weeks of training.
The only way to make it acceptable is to boost the dedicated carriers to compensate via a slot/stat bonus and/or ship bonus to control extra drones of the new types.
Somebody hasnt read the dev blog. No ship will give you the same output as a dominix/ishtar/vexor or any other drone ship due to the 10% drone dmg PER LEVEL. Thats 50% more dmg than any other ship
Not to mention the fact that the dominix can now field 3 waves of heavy drones, instead of 2, and the Ishtar can field 3 complete waves of heavy drones (with HAC 5) instead of 1 and 5 reserves.
With the changing of the thermal dmg to drone damage (which was my main problem with the original change) this has actually turned into a boost for those who rely heavily on drones (im an ishtar/domi pilot myself) and a bit of a nerf to those that dont specialise in it.
15 Drones was l33t, agreed, but they were hard to control. With the new system they become a lot easier to look after. Not to mention a SBing BS is no longer such a large threat, though a smart pilot who will take out ya drones will be.
All in all, i like it. More skills to train but if i get more speed out my drones, more dmg, more survivability and more flexibility in what i can use and field then afaik, its a good idea. Not to mention the reduction in server load

And easier to kill. No matter how much HPs you give them, 5 Targets are easier to take down than 15. |

Is that the only reason you don't like it? It seems more like a big boost to the drones ships then nerf.

I really like the proposed changes, my vote is NEW.
And people who prefer the current system didn't come up with a single valid point yet.

I would say new system, but after some testing and tweaking. They introduce new balance problems which should be solved before they go live.
Right now, drones are a joke. You need few SPs to field them, they are buggy and many use them to create lag. Under the new system, dedicated drone user get more toys (skills and modules) that will seperate them from the casual drone user. Their drones will be faster and tougher and deal more damage. Depending on how CCP implements these modules and skills this might be a great boost to those who specialise in drones. Hello Mr. Domi pilot with maxed out drone skills and activated drone support modules... you look scary...
And people, these threats of "if they do this I will quit" are childish...
If these changes are this bothersome to you, how about testing them on SiSi and giving real feedback instead of half reading the blog and crying about falling skies?

New, Drones will do more damage and be more survivable and dom pilots will be able to have more spares, so a big thumbs up
Also, lets not forget the new drone types, its debatable if the changes will cause less lag however since more people will be using drones after the patch for e/war tanking etc. But i can see that these changes are absolutely nessasary in order to facilitate the new dronetypes
Also now, mabye my T2 drones will pop less which is good for everyone (except the bpo holders  )

I have some issues with the new non combat drones but providing they are balanced and implemented well I would go with the new.
Ie new.
That said I cant say I would not miss having 9 drones to launch, for me not much will change unless some dronebay size changes shaft me but I do agree with the people that think 5 drones simply arent all that impressive.

Yes, of course. I have so much fun looking up who's alt is who's

It's a bit pointless to ask whether you prefer a system that you have only read about or a system you've used and grown accustomed to after all this time. If someone wrote out all the pros and cons of the curret system and compared them with the proposed system, putting aside your natural fear of change and disregarding how 'cool' a load of drones looks spewing out of the Thorax's battleship sized dronebay, which would you seriously go for?

I would stay for the CURRENT system and ask CCP to go for option 3 fix the code and hardware issues, as has been stated here and elsewhere this is a short term fix and not a true solution to the issues.
I would love to see new drone types appear as well, but not at the cost of the proposed Nerf, which will have to be followed by another Nerf to something else.
CCP fix the code and hardware!!
19.95 euros / month x 70,000 = 1,396,500 or $1,683,808.63 a month!! I say that gives you ample oportunity to resolve this with code optimisation and hardware!!
