Linia	Posted - 2006.01.29 20:18:00 - [1] I would like all you people who use drones to sign this petition, drone users, drone newbies, drone commanders, and who ever who uses drones or just likes to sign petitions.. since.. I cant really decide whno signs.. but well back to topic! I, catleast can be the only one who is MAJORELY mad at CCP for letting drone users down? I use drones everyday in domi and its my prim weapon, but does my primary weapon work? NO! It starts shooting stuff it is not supposted to! Here is the most majorely things needed to be fixed: 1) Drones going Rogue! Any mission where you can take 1 group down, your drones are very fast and easy about attacking some other group WITHOUT your command and then you got EVERYTHING against you. If scramblers = dead. Or simply make guns/missiles shoot something they are not supposed to.. ehm dah... 2) Droneinfo PLEASE!! You show info on drones, it just looks like a basic drone, no skills, no nothing. Like if you had only Drones lvl1! We would like to see eg the dmg modifier changed accordingly to the skills pls? If not, remove the dmg modifier showing on guns and lasers too so ALL is inable to see their dmg with skills on :) 3) Drone speed You might recorgnise this. You make drones attack and then they start flying 50m/s and shootor so when you can actually fly 1000m/s to the target.. What is the point in shooting FAR from target instaed of flying to it as they are supposed to? Please fix this! All people, PLEASE, sign this post so CCP will notice that they cant just ignore drone users! Drones is a weapon like guns, lasers and missiles, so dont make us have these.. disfunctinal things please! FIX DRONES! ---> SIGN NOW! <---

KillmAll187	Posted - 2006.01.30 02:53:00 - [14] /me Signed It was one thing before rmr when two of your drones were humping but now that you only have 5 its like you lose 40 percent of your dmg. Not to mention that tech II drones cost a crapload and if you arent in a gang, they aggro another target in like .0001 second. Then when u try to get them back where they should be they stop mwd and goto the target you ordered them to attack at orbit speed. Needs fixed now!
Xori Ruscuv	Posted - 2006.01.30 06:53:00 - [15] Signed. Please fix. I'm not happy about having started up with drone dependent ships - making my ships dependent on BUGS.
Bramson	Posted - 2006.01.30 07:37:00 - [16] signed. Also for #4 you forgot one of the more important bugs of them STOPING 1600m from you when you call them back to your drone hold. It is real annyoing when you are trying to call them back because some cruisers decided to gang up on them or need to warp out because out of cap etc. Ive lost more tech 2 drones to this bug than any of the others and its really annoying.

Roga Midrennie	Posted - 2006.01.30 14:34:00 - [22] for all the good it will do.... /signed. Seriously though, im almost expecting the drone bugs to never be fixed. Some of them have existed for so long i reckon they either dont care about it or cant fix it. Like the drones sticking together, that one has been ingame since release now as shown in this post : Drones sticking long ago (dont post in that thread, just check the dates) And for some lighthearted amusement i give you Return to Dronebay the video Oh, and here is the logfile i took whilst making that vid : log file for above video What really annoys me about this whole thing and the ever so predictable "file a bugreport" comments is that all i did to make that video was jump on sisi, get in a BS, go to 2 belts looking for rats and then used my drones on them. Thats it. It took 10minutes but it would seem that doing this is far beyond the scope or ability of the QA/testing/drinking beer at the pub team.
Arabian Goggle	Posted - 2006.01.30 16:53:00 - [23] Signed.... I have 2 more problems to add to the list: 5) Carrier pilots need an option to keep fighters from always following their targets into warp. 6) Fighters don't begin doing damage until they have orbitted their target for a short while. If fighters are to be useful, they need to be hitting as soon as they are within their optimal.
BaJaiah	Posted - 2006.01.30 17:13:00 - [24] Signed one more time... I just tried something i found rather interresting - google site:myeve.eve-online.com +drone +bug and behold 852 hits Of course many are within the same threads and such - but still I think this number speaks for itself

Bbllaarrgg	Posted - 2006.01.30 23:14:00 - [30] Drone control has always been a bit fubar, its just one of those things i think a lot of people gave up on ages ago, like the r&d system But i'll still sign this, cos i'd love em to work properly, particularly the first point you make. _________________________ Insert fnord here.

Steppa	Posted - 2006.01.31 07:21:00 - [33] /signed As a drone specialist, I have invested a TON of time into drones and am about to make the move to carriers. When that happens, I'm told I'll be expecting the space problems I have now with drones going the wrong speed, humping, aggro when they shouldn't ect. I'll go one step further, however. If CCP is not going to address this, I want a credit to my training as I roll back every single drone skill I've ever trained (all of the combat skills, nearly to max in all cases) because I want to invest them in the turrets or missiles that WORK.
WizEye	Posted - 2006.01.31 07:35:00 - [34] /signed It is UNBELIEVABLE that this ** is still going on. I froze my account in October, partially because as a Dominix user I was absolutly sick of having to deal with my main weapon being totally bugged. Now, many months after, even after a big expansion that was supposed to fix the drones, this crap is still going on. What the hell is wrong with you people? I was personally keeping three "fix drones" posts up for months just so you could get the message. I remember a dev came and said he found no problem with drones. Look, there IS a problem with drones, you didn't fix it, and we're really really **ed because you can't fix something we've been pointing at for at least half a year. WTF?!?!?

Shirer Aprenon	Posted - 2006.01.31 08:41:00 - [36] As another primary Drone user, which means these are my primary method of dealing damage, I can't think of any other weapon user who has to suffer with this sub optimal implimentation of drones in game. You've fixed missiles (and with skills boy are they hurtful) Now fix drones please. My main concerns are: 1. Gimped damage output as the drones saunter to their target. (once told to attack after killing one target - this is esspecially annoying if the targets are spread out, say 45 k to your front and 40 k to your rear) 2. Gimped damage output as they saunter back (even the workaround "return and orbit" sometimes leaves one or two sauntering back. Why should I waste good DOTage time recalling drones part way back to me in order to get them up to speed?) 3. The hugely annoying lag created whilst launching and recovering drones - why is this? 4. Inability to recover drones once they are "orbiting" 5. The incredibly broken return to dronebay - should rename it "Start poor pathing routine (at 1/10th max speed) and hang around outside of scoop range command" That's a better description. 6. Stop them auto attacking random stuff. At least have them auto attack something that has the main ship targetted. Now overall, this wasn't such a great issue when one drone type hit all classes of ship from Interceptors to BS. It does become an issue when you have to swap drone types, and it seriously reduces my dot. I don't get wound up about anything else in this game but this issue. Please fix it because it's shoddy. ------------------ Dad (noun) - someone who's wallet now contains a picture where his money once was.

Ankanos	Posted - 2006.01.31 12:19:00 - [38] signed i'm a drone fanatic.. you know as a show of good faith, if they would mearly replace the drone AI alterations when ganged to the regular drone AI when solo, this would go a long way in ridding alot of the issues we currently have with drones and make for a slightly happier playerbase. i have no clue if this is some insurmountable task or not. but if it isn't, i say make the swap asap. -ank ---
Hawk Firestorm	Posted - 2006.01.31 15:01:00 - [39] While annoying there are far more critical bugs in RMR that need far more urgent attention than this the memory leakage being one. They get round to it soon(tm) hopefully. =)
Getum	Posted - 2006.01.31 17:37:00 - [40] Signed.... I can handle any of the issues except for just one. Heavy drones can't even kill a Frigate. Return back the tracking speed they had.

Tamu Vos	Posted - 2006.02.01 09:51:00 - [46] Edited by: Tamu Vos on 01/02/2006 09:54:50 SIGNED!!! when I started eve I chose to be Gallente for one reason... someone told me they were good with drones. I thought, drones! Wow thats well cool! If I had known how bugged to hell they are I would have probably been Caldari... FIX THE DAMN DRONES CCP!! you would have a damnsite bigger problem if all rails started acting up, infact youd be so bugged with complaints that you would fix it straight away I bet... just because not as many people rely on drones as do on guns doesnt mean they deserve less attention... oh and a couple of pointers I would like to add... 1) Lets have some kind of transferral of drones from your cargo hold to your dronebay please, makes things a whole lot easier. (in space so you don't have to dock I mean, especially handy in 0.0) 2) BRING BACK DRONE BAYS!!! 200m3 in the thorax down to 50m3... its a discrace! 3) If your not gonna fix dronebay can we have a special type of drone ship for people not skilled enough to fly carriers? ie a ship class all in itself, equivalient to battlecruisers in skill requirements or something... with lots of drone bay, lots of drone bonuses and then compensate by taking off HP/speed/gun offensive etc... maybe T2 drone cruisers? there we are I'm done ranting for now... CCP PLEASE FIX MY DRONES!!! theyre my favorite part of the game and I don't like them bieng bugged to hell!!!

WizEye	Posted - 2006.02.01 15:25:00 - [48] Tamu, I think this is a more bug related post. I think the issues you raised are more gameplay concerned.. even if you change those, drones will still be bugged, so I'd rather start by fixing what's broken, not what's "unfair". ----------------------- FIX THE BLOODY DRONES - SIGN HERE

Getum	Posted - 2006.02.01 17:25:00 - [52] Edited by: Getum on 01/02/2006 17:26:00 I think I'll give it about a month. If I don't see or hear of some kinda response then I guess this just isn't the game for me. I don't mind waiting for something to be fixed but where I come from, No response to a situation is considered extremely rude... sigh I came over from Ever***** 2 cause I like space games. But they atleast acknowledge problems or send you a specified note giving some kinda detail or explanation. I might just end up going back :( But note this. I really don't wanna go back..

BH Runner	Posted - 2006.02.02 08:00:00 - [65] I'm seeing alot of signatures here, which doesn't assist in bug fixing at all, perhaps you're all on the wrong forum. We deal in Bugreports. I shall start a thread which details the drone bug reports we have received 'detailed' information on. List those bugs which are known defects, and I'll maintain it with responces, responding /signed doesn't help get somethign fixed if noone has adequated described the problem. Await that thread. ---- Runner BH Lead
