HQ incursion fleets have 200 light drones (5 x 40 fleet members) to be assigned.
AS fleets have 100 drones (5 x 20 members).
VG fleets have 50 (5 x 10) unless your community 'runs heavy' with more than 10 on grid and most communities do.
In summary: it seems that although you specifically said you didn't want to negatively impact on incursion runners, this change will have a significant negative impact on that group.
Alternative solution: might it be possible to set different number caps for each type of drone? e.g. 50 sentry, 75 heavy, 100 medium, etc... This would be implemented by giving each drone a new hidden variable called something like "remoteAssistContrib" and you'd cap that instead of just the raw number of drones. That way you could assign 50 sentries OR 200 light drones, but not both at the same time. Combinations like 25 sentries and 100 light drones would be possible. Here's a question I think needs asking: How much do you actually need drone assist in incursions?
Yeah CCP is right, totally passive gameplay if DPS shoots Battleships and stuff while Dronebunny kills frigates. Everybody should lock up frigates on his own and then send Drones on them as it would be way too easy to kill the Frigates with 1400's and Tachyons cause the players are so passive and there are no other Targets on grid anyway. [/SARCASM]
Sorry but the change with a flat Number at 50 and the argument not to impact Incursion fleets in the same Post is kinda senseless. Change it like stated above, make a difference between light drones, sentries and other stuff like heavies. |

**** you CCP CSM response: Adapt. Response to CSM: Before you say "adapt" try running incursions at least once in a while. We couldn't care less about how nullsec FCs command their slaves just so that big bosses get cars, apartments and enterprises IRL via RMT. I don't think the Incursions community should be the first to cast stones when it comes to talking about RMT. I'd assumed that you would be capable of dealing with a very minor change like this. I see my faith in your intelligence and resilience was misplaced.
And I think most posts I see here from CSM members are total B******, showing me how much the CSM cares about all the players instead of just the corner they came from. The percentage of incursion leaders doing rmt is probably not even existing while I'm sure some nullsec blockleaders get a few nice things from that.
All the people here complaining about players in Highsec: Please show me where I signed a contract to move all and everything I have to nullsec. This is a fukin sandbox, there are people playing the game in other ways, you know?
Adapt or die? Let's see what happens if CCP nerfs nullsec sites or whatever there. I wanna see the insults you all use against me when I start posting adapt or die then. Quit the double moral and start to understand that there are more people than you in that game.
Back to topic: There is no reason for a flat cap of 50 (maybe the devs being lazy), why should I be able to assign 50 sentries OR 50 lights? compare the stats of those 2 droneballs and think again.
Why not cap it JUST FOR SENTRIES? If sentries are the problem, then why the *** are you changing it for ALL drones?
Also a change to drone assist won't stop people from deploying as many drones as they can to get the servers smoking.

Furthermore, incursiners, shut the **** up about the supposed "impactic" and trying to semantic nitpick rules-lawyer the OP into a contradiction. You have not been impacted, you've been mildly inconvenienced. Your actual ability to do incursions has not changed, especially given that your fleets are ridiculosly overequipped for the job.
Sorry but not everybody likes flying around in trashcans. |

CCP did nerf nullsec just a week ago. They reduced all NPC bounties by 5%. The general response was receptive, with a few ragers here and there.
It is nerfed as long as you don't use ESS's |

MeBiatch wrote:i am starting to lean towards the scale for drone assist
make make assist based on max mb since 1 sentry is 25mb so 25 X 50 = 1250mb
so thats 50 heavy/sentry
125 medium
250 light
