Ryans Revenge V0LTA VOLTA Corp 0	Posted - 2011.11.15 10:47:00 - [1] - Quote Can someone please confirm whether this has been patched since yesterday? Could only launch 3 drones in my ishtar and my friend in his vagabond. Then once I abandoned my 3 drones in space I could then only launch 1. Obviously a massive bug. They also ungroup themselves when launching/abandoning and such. Very odd behaviour. Show drones some love please ccp, even just with the regression testing of them <3

I seem to have introduced a bug when launching drones from a stack. Works fine when launching them individually. I'm fixing it now.

Ryans Revenge V0LTA VOLTA Corp 2	Posted - 2011.11.15 17:35:00 - [4] - Quote Thanks Soul!
Raven Ether Republic University Minmatar Republic 24	Posted - 2011.11.15 18:28:00 - [5] - Quote While on the topic of drones, could we please have a better UI for managing and launching them? Also, could logistics (armor rep etc) drones be let to repair our own ship as well?

This is another of those ideas that rookies think would be good, but everyone else knows would be dumb. Imagine a dominix with 5 large RR drones on itself. It would be a lot of reps (2 or 3 large reps?) not requiring any PG, CPU, capacitor or slots. Maybe if the programming was super easy to do, it might be worth seeing on sisi just to test how it actually works out, and in the extremely unlikely scenario that it doesn't suck, consider it for TQ, but if it takes any real dev time, I'd say no, don't do it.
Ryans Revenge V0LTA VOLTA Corp 2	Posted - 2011.11.15 19:19:00 - [9] - Quote Please be aware that when you launch drones in a group they also leave that group. And the abandon problem I started previously hopefully links to this but could be different. Thanks

Let me know if it's still a problem once the fix hits Sisi.

In return, they're giving up 125mb of drone damage in PVE (save a lowslot, give up 300 odd DPS on unbonused ship, more on a domi? No one is going to be doing this) and in PvP these drones can be easily destroyed. I'm not seeing this being OP in any way - I'm with the 'rookies' on this one, it'd let me carry some light rep drones to rep myself up after a kill rather than having to shoehorn a rep onto every extended roaming fit.

Absolutely. It only makes sense that drones be able to assist their own pilot. It seems merely a technical issue that drones can't do this today because you can't target yourself to issue the command. In PvP what would be the difference between repping yourself with drones, or having two buddies applying repper drones to each other?
