Please tell me this is actually an elaborate troll which I have fallen for. Removing drone assist from the game would be like removing the watchlist. Or removing auto repeating modules....
For a long time Drone assist has been a unbroken nice aspect of the game. Removing this will pretty much make carriers a PIG to fly. They are already a burden to fly as they are basically big logistic ships. But making them have to micro manage drones as well... nonono...
What will that inty do with his carrier friend sitting just outside pos shields with drones assisted...
What will that fast tackle sat on a gate with sentry's do..... without thoes sentry's assisted.....
Assisting has been a long standing integral game mechanic which is not broken it is just part of the game. Remove it I certainly will be QQing!!
LEAVE -BRITNEY- DRONES ALONE!!

I don't mind it going away. God forbid carriers should have to listen to the primary call if they want to do dps. And yeah, a bit op for gatecamps.
ah but think, carriers take an eternity to lock stuff, with tidi multiplie eternity with infinity and your close..... This will turn carriers into literally big shiny taxi's AND logistic ships. Combat will be so gimped its not funny

But at least you can wipe their drones out with some bombing runs or making them fleetwarp. Carriers carry and unlimited number of drones which makes them the ultimate super-weapon en masse. Fix this broken game 
Totally forgot about bombs!!

That could work, kinda..... If it was a choice between that or just removing it I'd certainly settle for that option.
Serious question, was this proposed by the CSM??

No, because carriers actually see combat vs subcaps and are used outside of slowcat fleets and actually need to have some kind of defensive resource. Reducing the drone bay would mean they wouldn't be able to use fighters at all.
Agreed 100% Carriers and drone assist is fine. Who ever suggested this nerf, and those who are considering it a good idea should be shot!!!

Jenn aSide wrote:That being said, the fix is very simply a 'bandwidth' limit for drone assisting ie one pilot can only command so many assisted drones.
A more complicated fix would be to separate the drone bay from the "fighter bay" in carriers and restrict carriers to 5 drones like sub caps, along with a toning down of the bonuses from drone mods and the sub cap drone bonuses.
I think even that is overkill..... Its not broken, never has been... If the recentish changes to certain drone platforms have broken something else, revert said changes which caused the problem. Setting the Nerf bat on something which is a integral aspect of the game is wrong.

The whole GD needs to be full of anti nerf treads as this is a truly game breaking idea!

When you can outnumber their carriers with your battleships and support at least 3 to 1 and still not manage to break any of their tanks while sustaining very heavy losses, that should have been an obvious indication, not just to us, that something was wrong.
Who takes a knife to a gun fight... Each battleship costs what, a few hundred mil... each carrier probably what just over 800-1bil... obviously the more expensive larger ships should be harder to kill then the low cost disposable stuff.
