7o everyone.
We've got another addition ready to gather some feedback for. This one will release in a future Rubicon point release (I know which internal release it will be in but we're not sure yet if it will be called 1.2 or 1.3 in public).
We will be releasing a full line of Hull Repair Drones! We expect that these drones will be especially useful for those times when you need to rep a relatively small amount of structure damage, such as an incapped Starbase module.
There will be Hull Repair Drones in Light, Medium and Heavy sizes, both T1 and T2. Their skill requirements will follow the same pattern as Armor Rep Drones, except using the Remote Hull Repair Systems skill instead of the Remote Armor Repair Systems skill. Like other logistic drones, these will require the Repair Drone Operation skill as well as the Drones skill.
The Repair Drone Operation skill will be expanded to apply its rep rate bonus to Hull Maintenance Bots as well as Armor and Shield bots.
All the drones will apply their reps every 5s, and the hull repaired per cycle for each drone will be:
Light Hull Maintenance Bot I - 6
Light Hull Maintenance Bot II - 7
Medium Hull Maintenance Bot I - 12
Medium Hull Maintenance Bot II - 16
Heavy Hull Maintenance Bot I - 30
Heavy Hull Maintenance Bot II - 36
We'll let you guys know when these hit SISI for your testing pleasure. It will be a few weeks since our testing priority right now is the new Universe Data changes that are on SISI as we speak.
Let us know what you think!
Thanks

CCP Fozzie I know there won't be tech 2 bpo's for these, all will come from invention, but will there be a chance to see named hull repper drones some how or isn't that something you want to tackle at this time?
We'll keep it to T1 and inventable T2 for now, but adding more variants of all repair drones is definitely an option for the future.

The issues surrounding clearly communicating the crimewatch implications of that capability makes it more trouble than it would be worth for now. Sorry.

It sounds a lot more exciting than structure repair drones lol.
More information about the changes to the Universe Data and the current testing available on SISI can be found in this thread.

This doesn't take a lot of work. It's a small change that improves the game in a small way for a small amount of effort.
Pretty much the ideal definition of a "little thing" that's worth doing.

I won't rule it out, but we have no firm plans to allow such functionality that at this time.
