E.i. creating massive lag in nullsec warfare and causing node crashes, thus making the most advertised aspect of this game completly unplayable.

Your current work looks like this: https://cloclo9.datacloudmail.ru/weblink/view/78b637324992/in_ccp_we_trust.png

But you need to address this issue asap. One of possible solutions: enable drone grouping option like it was done with guns or something similar.

Create a stacking penalty for Drone Link Augmenters.

Being able to fight from Close to Super Long Range with one ship is game-breaking for null-sec fights.

Fix centry drones!

But it should be balanced of course. Once again, sentries are down-sized "weapon" type. Fighters, the "natural" size, are not used almost at all. Why?

Or immature people, saying "Angry Russians" think that TiDi should be there and we should live in 0.0 where anybody can use it as exploit?

dont want lag --> dont blob
oh and i dont like goons ,like everybody else :P

Please fix these broken drones that lag complete node.

I hope CCP fix it. Dont remove drones, just fix lags then we can deploy our supers and titans in grid.

Yep. its a reason. Your laugh is nervous

we are not asking for Drone nerf..

exploit, which N3/PL use for win in current war.

Fix drone lag

Sentry carriers are imbalanced and too cost-effective for so many reasons......

Wouldn't something like making abandoned drones self destruct after 5 minutes help with some of the TiDi? From reading all of this thread it seems like some of the TiDi has to do with abandoned drones.

So is this a centralized CFC whine thread?

I see a pattern of spammy responses from NPC alt's and CFC coalition members

I'm not in null and have no experience of carriers so am neutral in this sense.

To me drone assist is fine but should be limited to the assistee only being assisted by as many drones as they can fly (why should they be able to direct more drones than they can interface with?).

Looks like OP was unable to write things in more understandable manner so I will fix it for him:

"Dear CCP, ...

5) Everyone vs N3 equates to 1300 vs 400-500 on field.

...snip... no, he doesnt control the drones, its me who sets my drones either to defend or to help the assistee.

For the drones to know what a ship is targeting the pilot of said ship would have to interface with the drones to feed them telemetry so that to me means that:

Are you slow or what? Problem is you cant win or lose battle against sentry archons no matter how many supers or sabs you have. When server drops to 1% tidi its endless battle for all sides. There is no such precedent in the history of eve whats people talking about here, you dumb damage control is ridiculous.

Perhaps we should have a new mobile structure that goes in and hoovers up abandoned drones from a grid and brings them back to the deployer :D

I'm not going to pay for this game only to lag at 1% TD for 8 hours then get a node crash when there's a chance to kill something at last. Even if the crash cause was fixed the lag wasn't.

So, CCP, stop wasting time on meaningless stuff you're adding to the game and start working on game performance. The drones are the first obvious problem since most ships can launch 5 and carriers up to 10 of them. And every drone is treated as a separate object in space. First battle in GE-8JV had similar local count but not so many drones used and you know what... TD wasn't so low. So start fixing drone lag ASAP.
