Headerman Quovis Shadow of xXDEATHXx 352	Posted - 2011.12.01 09:00:00 - [1] - Quote I can think of several ways to improve drone space without resorting back to 'Gunmining': - Building small or large ships requires those ships be moved a long way to a viable market. Small ships are useless to build and sell as they are too difficult to move. If there was a dedicated ship carrying capital, then it would be good. - Selling anything to high sec requires a long pipe run through low sec, or the use of a jump bridge from a titan. Expensive and risky. Building and selling capitals of any size requires a lot of investment, a lot of time and good planning. Something no other region has to contend with as they can simply buy what they need. To sum up: It requires ISK to make ISK. Every other region requires a ship to make isk. It is not easy to make ISk in drone regions. How can that be fixed? - By putting bounties on Rogue Drones. - By making a high sec system very close to nul sec space (ala EC-P) - More technically, by making rogue drones always target the first ship that aggresses them, despite multiple waves. - Make the last BS standing the spawn point in the bunker hordes, but make all rogue drones in said horde target ships as any normal spawn would. i don't think adding in more BS drones will help in this case, as Hordes can still hit very hard, and i don't think swapping the compounds for ISK is the right thing to do either. In short, please don't make the drone regions crap again. The Apostle : I want a kangeroo Captain Kirk : Silly Austrians Sarmatiko : Let me guess: you're from US?

EDIT: As CCP Greyscale mentioned in another topic, we are considering switching drones to bounties in order reduce the income disparity in these regions. Would be happy to hear your opinions on this. From someone still fairly new to the drone regions, i would welcome this. In regards to loot drops, if you removed glossy and other compounds that game high end minerals, then all the better.

Also +1 to bringing the old hordes back to how they were :) The Apostle : I want a kangeroo Captain Kirk : Silly Austrians Sarmatiko : Let me guess: you're from US?
