CCP's motivation behind med clone cost removal was very self-serving. Yes, it was to the benefit of players, and for something new in the game (Drifters/Circadians podding us), but there was constant player support of their removal for years. That's why I call the change self-serving.
Applying this possibility to other things on the horizon, like Sov and Drifters, the outcomes I imagine are comical.
Killing Drifters will be necessary for maintaining Sov, or the new Sov system involves a grind mechanic that is exceptionally exploitable by something like fighter assist.
If this is at all related to Drifters, I'm much rather see a different mechanic added to Drifters over just no more warping around.. Like, say, Drifters can seize control of Fighters/Bombers :) Or will aggres and one shot fighters on sight :)
Personally I'm torn on it..The idea of Carriers launching fighters that can be assigned to a Frig and off to fight whatever is a little broken... Maybe some other changes could be, once they are beyond a Carriers control range, ALL Bonuses/SP that affects them is removed. So no bonus from the hull, no DDA's, no Fighters V, making them far weaker and less OP..
As for assign.. Maybe I donno.. one thought I had was make only some ships ABLE to use assigned drones. Like a role bonus, or as a module? Mod could be like polarized weapons, when enabled sets resists to 0? Or make only specific ships able to control them as a role bonus. That was you know what ship(s) to primary if you see a boatload of fighters and no carriers/supers?
For the people complaining about SP.. HTFU. CCP has always said as long as you benefited from it before they won't give you back SP, not since Learning Skills were nuked. So we didn't get wasted SP back on things like Orca change (remind me, why did I need Mining Barge V?), or every other time they have nerfed a ship.. You got to use it for a while, or otherwise know that ships get changed.. |

CCP's made significant changes to lots of ships before, most of them had people cursing about how they were destroying it.. once or twice people were right, still, you never got your SP Back. It's not going to happen. |
