Hawklandier Taranogas wrote:There is a very simple answer to the drone question here! When you made the changes to the battle cruisers and destroyers, you gave everyone four skills for that one. The rank of the skill was determined by the skill level at the time. i.e I had destroyers 4 at the time, then downtime came and then I had all the racial destroyer skills at 4. Sound familiar? Why not give everyone the light and medium drone skills from the scout drone operation skill? The worst thing your doing is making making certain players having to up their clones for the increase in skill points like what you did when you made the BC/Dessy changes. Why can't you simply do this? Its much less of a headache ...
I'm not even going to explain, just read the rest of the pages, heck, you only need to read the last 10 pages |

So this SDO to CDO argument seems a bit wierd...
For sentry drone it is alright if you can't launch the same drones after patch.... train the racial skill so you can keep flying them is the solution... ok...
For scout drone pilots we need to make sure you can still launch your tech 2 PVP drones before and after patch?... huh? Why is the logic used for sentry drones not applied to light and medium drones? Train Combat Drone Operations/Light Drone Operation/ Medium Drone operation and you can keep flying them?
I liked the dev blog solution better, but the reasoning in include SDO seems biased. |

basicly its a good thing to take SDO into consideration for the 2 new skills since many players will profit from this. well its a sad thing for everyone who trained CDO JUST because of this anouncement but it should be clear to anyone from the begining that nothing in a Dev Blog is certain until its released so i dont realy understand why so many people cry about this decision... |

What happens if you have already Scout Drone at V and you are skilling Combat Drones to V now beause you read the Dev-blog earlier and thought it's the required skill that have to be skilled before the Kronos release? Are you wasting skill time? Or is it still required for Drone Link Augmentor II and/or other stuff? |

People who don't read the answers they've already been given don't deserve new ones just for being lazy. "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his ISK/hr depends upon his not understanding it!" |

I see... anyway there would be still some time. I know 3 guys that are training it right now with Scout already at V. I whished I did not read the dev-blogs but found that threads erlier:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=341793 https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=347938
The last one got some more info regarding scout drones but I've found no official answer regarding Drone Link Augmentor II so far.

I'm not sure about the new stats ... Can someone summarize what changes to Gallente and Minmatar? Will they both keep their level and the other drones just become better or what's the point now to use the drones in the middle of the spectrum? For me it was always about speed vs. damage ... |

So, I've been thinking drones a fair amount lately, and I'm not sure that placing all racial drones in on a speed/damage scale will fix anything. It might make the Amarr amd Caldari drones slightly more attractive options, but they're still niche options.
Even with a dedicated drone boat, the number of drones you can carry and field is limited, why would someone choose to field an Amarr or Caldari drone over the Minmittar or Gallente ones? They may have different damage types, but I expect you're still going to see most people go to the extremes for damage, or speed, based on the current need.
Why loose damage, or chance your drones getting outrun, if you don't need too?
I know it's too close to the release now, but as a thought for the future consider giving each drone a specific role, instead of putting them on a sliding scale.
For Example: Gallente - Ther/Em - Damage High/Speed Low Caldari - Exp/Kin - Damage High/Speed Low Amarr - Em/Ther - Speed High/Damage Low Minmittar - Exp/Kin - Speed High/Damage Low
That way each race has a different speciality, split between high dmg and high speed for either shield or armor tank. Making a choice between each race then becomes a matter of stratagy, |

Given that you're renaming and rebalancing so much in the world of drones, for consistency sake, why not also rename "Sentry Drone Interfacing" to "Sentry Drone Operation." |

mm.. so looking at the new drone spreadsheet .. ogres are getting their HP nerfed Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist mechanic. Nerf web strength ..... module tiercide FTW role based instead of tiers please. |

Fozzie, are fighters going to be included in the range/tracking changes?
The Einherji orbits so close and fast that it can't hit a stationary cruiser, yet if that cruiser starts moving they are able to land a few hits. The crazy thing about this is that webbing targets actually makes them harder to hit with fighters in some situations.
There are similar issues with the other fighters. They need this change even more than the combat drones do. - |

other things i would like fozzie too look at are ..
sensor strength .. they are all omni atm .. heavies have 22 on all 4 weird... thats more significant now with guristas 2 uber drones. signature radius on all drones ... they are all the same size .. except lights are 9m compared too 12m .. frigs are like 70-90m.
look at adding new drone skills - falloff -tracking -orbit velocity - reduced sig radius Tech 3's need to be multi role ships not cruiser hulls with battleship tank and insane resists ABC's are clearly T2 in all but name.. remove drone assist mechanic. Nerf web strength ..... module tiercide FTW role based instead of tiers please. |

Shouldn't the heavy drones orbit farther then the medium drones ? In the spreadsheet it's the same optimal for both. |

Same optimal, but the heavy drones orbit farther away and have more falloff.
Note that the optimal for all the combat drones is much farther than their orbit range. However more optimal and falloff comes in useful against targets that move around too much for a stable orbit. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie http://www.twitch.tv/ccp_fozzie/ |

In the latest summary dev blog I read about a change to the tracking/optimal to all drones ... will they now be able to apply damage to small stationary targets when in orbit? Last week when I tested on SiSi Hammers where not at all and Hobs only occasionally applying damage to a stationary Hobgoblin II ... In contrast during approach before reaching orbit they applied almost the full damage. Maybe this test was not realistic, because in a real fight the enemy drones would move ... but webbing seems counterproductive in this case. |

Drones will not have a better chance of hitting small stationary targets than before, but against very small targets like light drones their transversal can still be a significant challenge. That being said, try the same test with an Infiltrator drone and you'll notice an improvement. Hammerheads have the weakest tracking of all medium drones.
