Cro Ramel	Posted - 2003.08.18 14:15:00 - [1] Edited by: Cro Ramel on 18/08/2003 17:36:54 Drones aren't really useful in PvP a smartbomb on the target or a missile from your ally makes short work of them. Perhaps "support" drones should be implemented heres a few ideas I had. Expendable 1: Decoy class drone. This drone orbits your ship until someone fires on you. It attempts to "take the bullet" for you and nullify a valid hit. DuckDuckGoose 1: Missile lure drone. This drone snags the target of a missile and tries to make a run for it in the opposite direction of your ship at a modest 500 m/s. It lures the missile away from your ship and may even make it out in one piece. Toasted 1: Suicidal Missile defense drone. This drone automatically charges a missile destined for your hull. Blaster 1: Reliable missile defense. This drone is equipped with a smart bomb and rushes hostile missiles like the Toasted 1 but only takes minimal splash damage from missile so it usually survives. (Should be heavy drones and use your cap for their smart bombs) Only problem with those 4 drones is that it will take some serious coding so that not all of your drones attempt to deal with one missile/shot. And blasters working in range of your ship could hurt. Engineering drones: Solar collectors 1: These drones are equipped with solar panels and energy transfer equipment. They improve your cap recharge rate while they orbit your ship. Shield integrity: These drones either give your shield more HP or increased recharge rate. Repair drones: Armor / Structure repair. Uses your energy to repair your ship. EW drones: Leech 1: These drones orbit targeted ship and work as energy neutralizers. Tin Foil 1: These drones are equipped with lead shields and tin foil hats to block incoming targeting attempts on your ship. I've got some more and i'll post them if these seem to be well liked, Cro out! PS:(can you guess what ship i fly?) "If it sounds like a bad idea, it is."

Cro Ramel	Posted - 2003.08.18 17:36:00 - [3] Yeah I suppose that much missile defense isnt really necessary but its just a thought. As for kamikaze drones, it sounds cool but they'd be the same things as missiles... but seeing as how gallente ships generally dont have launcher hardpoints they might be fitting.

Cro Ramel	Posted - 2003.08.27 03:50:00 - [7] Good stuff! Especially the courier drones. I think the jamming drones are a little over the top, unless they had some restrictions. Maybe have them be heavy drones and only be -1 to a given type of targetting system and it'd be fair. I totally disagree with warp disruption drones though, that would be too powerful. Cro out!
