I think we should raise the amount of drones carriers and supers can field.
Perhaps another skill called "Drone Command"
It allows carriers/supers to have +1 drone out per level.

Please be aware that...
- long ago... ships could deploy as many drones as they had space for. This was reduced to a "hard limit" of 5 for subcapitals, a maximum of 15 for carriers (with drone control units), and a maximum of 20 for Supercarriers (with drone control units).
- earlier this last year the number of fighters/fighter bombers that Supercarriers could field was nerfed... hard. To 10 per (with a maximum of 15 using drone control units).
- drones cause performance issues as the server handles each one as a unique entity.
- Guristas ships were redesigned for "superdrones"... less in space but equal or better in performance to the "traditional" 5.
tldr; the historical trend is for less drones being deployed... not more.
Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

Yes, more lag sounds fun!
More seriously, please check some of the dev blogs that include notes on how much strain drones place on the server.

Carriers should be able to fly mini-fighters which take 1/5th the space and bandwidth, have the same speed/size/etc. and 1/5th of the hit points and damage, but the carrier can field 5 of them per 1 drone control slot. It gives the carrier pilot the option to increase fighter vulnerability to smartbombs in order to improve the carrier's ability to crash the server, and/or fight seventy-five targets at once.

Do you have any idea how much lag drones are already causing? It would be nice if drones was removed completely. Except for fighters and fighter bombers, which should be buffed and then reduced in numbers (so instead of 10 max fighters on an archon it would be 5 or something, if not just 1 mathematically and have 9 more just flying around not doing damage). |

It's funny because I commented once, and yet you still wont just leave the thread.
Also no need to tell everyone what I said, literally 3 posts from your first post here.
This thread is one page, everyone can see what people said.

Pretty much sums up my response to your idea.
I could wax lyrical about the whys, and the withertos, and the inasmuches, but as you've already expressed your lack of attention span, I doubt it would be of any use.
tl;dr:
No.

Your idea is bad and you should feel bad for posting about it on a public board if you didn't want other people's opinion on it. |

i support ccp's first step in good direction for drones, namely varied bandwidth for damage/agility/tracking etc. now if they woould break up the rule of 5 ( unit sizes that bonuses and drone bays are given in) a bit that would add to the immersion, as well as doing the same to ships. it could force mixed flights of drones and much more strategic drone usage, and ultimately give alot more flavor to the drone use experience. a tweak of only a few digits here or there to drone size and drone cargo bay could make a huge difference in the types of drone ships should be carrying for their intended role.
Yes eve players like to ignore intended roles and use what works, an edge is an edge after all, but more ship individuality would be nice. every combat ship has drones, and every one has the same options of only small medium or large and 1-5 of any type. utility drones and combat aids aside(once again, all ships can pack them equally-there should be ships with bonuses to those as well) this is leads to homogenous, ubiquitous drone flights, regardless of ship class/role or race.
oh and as a side not, i'd keep drone assigning but have a target confirm box in my drone window that would require the drones owner to click/press hotkey to actually attack, otherwise the drones track/orbit but don't fire. give targeting to the assigned, but keep the final butan push to the grunt. |
