1. A guard, especially a soldier posted at a given spot to prevent the passage of unauthorized persons.

I hope they don't make them movable as they wouldn't be a sentry then.

I'd like them to have a low speed, say 500 m/s at MWD, can't move when shooting, and can only move to return to the vessel, very irritating to have to manually go back and pick them up.....

Sounds like you want heavy drones.

Quick announcement to start what will be a busy day.
At the moment, all drones have the same shieldRechargeRate stat. All the way from Acolytes to Mantis'.

This was not an intended pattern and since the balance effects of fighter bombers sporting battlecruiser level passive tanks (mainly resistance to smartbombs and non-coordinated bombs) are negative we're going ahead and giving each size of drone a different shield recharge time just as we do with ships.
Like with ships, the larger drones get better hp/s but the difference will now be much smaller. Light and medium drones are getting buffed, heavies staying the same, sentries through to fighter bombers nerfed.

This stat affects the time it takes the shields to regenerate passively from 0 to full. Lower is better.

At the moment every drone has a recharge time of 250s, post patch it will be:

Light - 125s
Medium - 200s
Heavy - 250s
Sentry - 400s
Fighter - 500s
Fighter Bomber - 750s

This change will be on SISI for your testing shortly.

what I want is either heavies that sit and shoot at long range, or sentries that can make their own way back to me.....
you decide which is easier to say.....

There's a lot more work we want to do to heavy drones, it's likely that both optimal and MWD speed will be high on the list of stats to look at when we do that pass.

presuming these are T1 values - what about T2 heavies through sentries?

what he says .... CCP taking sides in favor of the RUSRUS/ GOONS... and not even trying to hide it.


WP CCP ... how much of their RMT did they pomise you?

will faction and T2 have superior regen?

and Fozzie, since you are messing with drones when will the damage multiple between amarr and minmatar drones be correctly sorted compared to the order of their base speeds?

"look, all the supercapital owners who had been benefiting from broken mechanics are all saying don't fix them"

"bring back aoe dds and untacklable titans"

If CCP were actually catering to us supercapitals would no longer exist.

A very substantial amount. CCP Fozzie gets an extra cut.

Fozzie, the cost of fighter bombers in light of their utility vs. survivability was already pretty high. If you go through with these changes I would seriously suggest you to make them cheaper by lowering the build requirements and/or give them more hitpoints.

Doesn't make any difference since you can't pack a lot of them in a super anyway.
CCP literally has no idea how their game works or they are RMT supporters. No other way.

Eeh.. I don't understand. Sure reducing Fighter Bombers' survivability might not be a step in the right direction (and its debatable... DEATH TO ALL SUPERCAPITALS !).

... But you were not passive tanking your Fighter Bomber anyway right ? If you want to keep this expensive stuff alive, its normal that you put some effort on it, and not only let the passive regen do its job.
