Odd... Someone suggests having a HS Mini-Carrier and everyone goes "OH NOES.. OP OP OP!!" and when CCP suggests a HS Dread no one complains about it being OP... If CCP suggested adding this I doubt there would have been this much Negativity.
I like the idea of HS Mini Carrier. BS Size Logi, Give the Drone Bunny an extra 5 drones... I am down with that. :)
And the guy that complained about lag... How much LAG is there in a 1k man fleet fight with 20-30 Carriers/SuperCarriers? Sorry that argument is invalid... besides not every single EVE player would suddenly get into one of these.. so the resource increase should be small.
Supported. I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. |

Curious this is a "Features & Ideas Discussion". Hence it is an idea... if CCP does take it and a drone bonus is too strong they will reduce/remove it as needed. This will not be a 10 drone Domi, this will be a 10 Drone BS with support capabilities.
An observation; you seem really scared of changes to the game. I rarely see you comment positive/constructive comments. This ship is not being put into game as is suggested here, why so negative?

To each his own I guess. :) I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it. |

Sorry this argument is a bit tired. I still feel that 5 drones on a "Drone boat" is a bit underwhelming. The name conjures up the image of hundreds of drones... but even I would not support that. 10... MAYBE 15 (with penalties) would be acceptable.
What a lot of people here tend to miss is that the OP says that you can ONLY fit drones. No Turrets or launchers. So if they kill your drones your pretty much fingered. As for AFK ratting... the belt and mission rats now have sleeper AI, they swap to drones... I have lost many a drones on my rattler by not paying attention to their bars.
All skills 5, I get 813 dps (4 DDA2 and LSDA2 rig) on a Rattlesnake. That is with a hull with a damage bonus. will be even less with one without. So considering that, if this hull can get 1k dps with drones it will be much loved in any fleet that uses drones. (Null fleets, mission runners, incursions etc).
Kahega Amielden wrote:Because then the hull in question would just completely invalidate any kind of frigate presence? Why? Destroyers are anti frigate ships... don't they "completely invalidate any kind of frigate presence" as well? and can't the same be said for cruisers? That they "completely invalidate any kind of destroyer presence"? (I can go on but you get my drift) If you are referring to PVP gate cams or small gangs... I would take a tackle frig over drones any day. A player can respond and change to the situation faster than drones. I would also not support Scram drones, Web drones are useless.. so don't really understand your concern.
Smart Bombs... that is how you counter this... so there is a counter.
