Slightly related. Can i name my non-frozen companions, aka exotic dancers.

Haha, seriously messing with players that have a cluttered overview, quickly mass rename them with the guys names you are fighting or writing sentences with your drones ... drone poetry maybe ?
And
Aeh

Would do this simply to rename all my drones to "Zergling" so i can technically proxy zergling rush people while yelling in local "FOR THE SWARM". Would probably rename my ship "Hatchery" or "Hive". |

Not a troll post. I actually want this. I don't know much about the coding admittedly, however when you run a d-scan you already see that the drones appear to have names so I (without being sure) would assume it wouldn't be too server heavy of a thing to do. As it is you can already name things in the game for basically no reason so why not drones too? |

Nope, probably the most time effective solution to the problem of having that one freaking drone that's always in half armor among all the other Hobgoblins in my bay. If I could name them individually, even if nothing more than a serial number, I could note which of them was damaged, and not have to play drone roulette after a fight to get the damaged ones out and repaired.
Not a perfect solution. Drone ships should repair their drones in the bay over time without all the hassle, with modules to speed that repair up for those inclined to do so. |

I support this though it sounds like a low-priority addition to the game, considering how fragile Drones can be.

I'll take it- I really would like this a lot, and I doubt it'd be that hard to implement- it could be the same as ships- named while unpackaged, but repackage it and it resets.

Bro do you even TIDI?
Let me tell you how much more the Hamsters will love you the next time a huge brawl happens and the poor little guys now have to account for thousands of different drone names. This is not something that is going to help tidi at all folks. CCP is trying to reduce drone node cpu useage, not increase it.

This is where I actually have a few questions about how the server handles the names of drones as they currently are. From what I understand they are already named as 'Warrior II' separate from the entity name (similar as to how a ship is named), however the way that this is processed by the server and distributed to clients I'm not sure on. If the name 'Warrior II' is 'processed' (not sure if that's the correct terminology) by the server the same way as ship names are processed on ships then allowing for drones to have names should not have an impact at all on performance, however if their names are carried with the entity and then the name 'Warrior II' is generated by the client then it would have an impact on overall performance. If someone who know's more on the issue could clarify on how it works exactly that would be awesome. (Also if they understood what I said and could make it make more sense that would be cool too) |

Why don't they just allow client side names or designations, that do not get echoed to the server?
Specifically for the tracking of damaged units alone, that would be appreciated by many players.
Server impact, due to no data being sent to the server by this: Zero Upgrading Local to Eliminate All AFK Influence What if Local Chat changed, Hunting the Cloaked... |

Client-side would definitely work. There would be no impact on the node. It might even be useful for situations where you need to swap out damaged drones.
Server side tho...as easy as I can put it, the node has to keep track of your warrior iI's and all of their properties. If you can rename them, it still has to keep track of the fact they are warrior ii's, but now it also has to keep track of one extra new property, what you've named it.

Are you sure that it doesn't keep track of the names as they are already though? I'm only thinking that it may not because everything when d-scanning has a name, regardless of whether it was user generated or not. |

If renaming drones is going to hurt the server side systems that much CCP needs to upgrade their systems. Get with the modern times.
All my drones have names I wrote on little pieces of masking tape that I stuck to the drone window. Sometimes their names change though. |

Um, dude, CCP has one of the most advanced gaming server systems on the planet. There have been articles written about their hardware.

And every major fight still grinds down to 10% TiDi. It's a legitimate concern. This may only cause a negligible spike with 100-200 players, but as soon as you get 1,000+ carriers and super carriers on field the lag compounds very quickly and hits the server like a truck.
