I have been thinking about a way to make drones better and was thinking what if we could fit them like we fit are ships. each drone would be like a hull and have a set number of modules you could fit just like your ship. and the drones skills would improve What you could fit and how well it works.
What dose everyone think? |

I think redesigning drones to be closer to ship mods/ammo would be more effective than taking them even closer to the side kick/pet model that they work on now. |

So, I'll assume you are not an alt and are actually rather new to EVE. There are ships that carry tens of drones, some even go up to the hundreds; would you like to fit that many drones? Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot. |

Personally I think that fit-able drones are a great idea but no-one wants to spend hours fitting their drones before heading out so make drones come with a standard load-out which can be optimised by refitting them. I would also go as far to say that the number of drones any particular ship can field should become more limited, perhaps down to 2 drones of any particular size against a certain size of ship
2 lights out from a frig 2 mediums out from a cruiser 2 heavies out from a battleship
This messes with the Drone skill itself so we can also have it that larger ships can still field up to 5 of a smaller drone type
5 lights out from a cruiser 5 mediums out from a battleship
The damage output and total hitpoints of drones would have to be beefed up to maintain balance but if you are able to fit them they will be able to have wiggle room in this respect.
What about Standard Equipment? I would say that drones would have to come with a MWD fitted as standard which is impossible to remove as drones MWD all over the place in combat so it is a requirement. Perhaps also some form of self repair like a small armour repper or shield booster.
As a final point if drones became fit-able it would be interesting to see them become more multifunctional with the ability to fit ewar modules as well as weaponry. Perhaps with certain race drones having bonuses to certain types of ewar, maybe reserved for t2 drones though. |
