I am pretty sure that is not what they said, mostly.
Drone Interface is being reduced from 20% per level to 10% per level, that is correct. However that 50% difference is being applied on the drones themselves so that new players have higher damage drones and older players stay the same.
Edit: Thinking about it slightly longer would indicate you are correct(If Fozzie doesn't change his mind) if his stats are not buffed like other drones for Kronos. |

I haven't read anything about this myself but that's what i gather from op's post.
Yeah, I already Edited my post. After just waking up posting is a bad thing 
But even then, the Gecko are still worth it. all/most of their stats are better than heavies, and will stay that way. They will just be slightly closer to eachother.
I wonder how the rattlesnake will be with 1 gecko VS 2 heavies/sentries in terms of paper DPS and applied DPS, and how quickly you would lose those drones.

So come June 3, when the drone interfacing skill is cut from 100% to 50% you can expect to see Gecko damage nerfed by approximately 6.3%. I'm pretty sure I heard Fozzie say that the drone damage was being changed to compensate for the 100% to 50% drop. The change in the skill affect is to limit the apparent requirement to train to level V and not to nerf the damage output of drones. yes, all other drones are getting a 33% boost. the gecko has been added to the game with that boost already applied. therefore the gap between geckos and other drones will be closing up come kronos. I understand. Probably why we only get 3 each to prevent an uber Gecko meta in between now and Kronos.

Make that 11 each, if we make each goal ;)
