Edited by: Vyktor Abyss on 29/10/2006 13:59:26 Just tried but I can't post to the sticky so I'll leave my thoughts here if thats ok...
/Signed
I think drones need attention in a few ways.
Signature radius decrease (10-15% less?) makes sense to me, as does the durability skill being pumped another 5% per level for drones and fighters effectively allowing better specialisation...then a small universal hp boost to all drones, much less than the universal ship boosts though (say 10-15%?). I'd hope these changes would combine to give more differentiaton from poor drone skills pilots, to good drone skills pilots (though I admittedly am no great funambulist). :)
Immediate scooping and redeploying of drones - I'm agreed that if used in a close range fight this mechanic would annoy me a lot if I were the one trying to pop the opponents drones only to see them scooped then come back on full shield every time they get low - but as a tactical suggestion people really should just think of popping the enemy ship so the drones die anyway. :)
One possible solution to this is the idea of a delay in redeploying scooped drones which could work by giving ships a dronebay repair speed attribute (X hp/sec - with some droneship bonuses please) for conducting repairs in bay and saying that only fully repaired drones can be relaunched.
Personally I mostly fly a Thorax and although I have skills for tech II Hammerheads, with a price of roughly 2 mil each - 5 of them costs more than my actual ship!! Combine those costs with your modules and it makes being Gallente just too god damn expensive to compete!!
I've also seen how easy heavy drones get popped which makes me think it'd currently be a bit of a waste of time getting the skills for Ogre II's. And after reading the above comments from the experts I'm convinced fighters would be a massive disappointment too (especially relative to the cost).
After Kali with fights lasting longer, drones will inevitably get popped more, so risking 10 mil of drones every combat becomes even less viable since even if I win a fight and lose my drones - I've effectively lost more than my ship is worth!
And to the person who was whining about cost of ammo (& time) lost on firing on drones that get redeployed!?!? Pffft...Maybe you'd like to try leaving half your guns behind every time you warp away since they're not responding properly to orders!
Just my tuppence worth...Thanks.

dont you people think its totally stupid that you can shoot at a ships main weapons, his drones?
well if you can kill drones, you should dam well be able to pop guns/missile laucnhers , and they should have freking spares to replace them
drones should have 1sig radius to make them near impossible to kill with anything bar smartbombs.

since 90% of eve didnt bother training for drones, they dont want us drone users being on the same level as them ______________

i was trainning to gallente but i think its fair now.. if we want to kill a drone ship we try to kill all their drones... and they are alot !!
and the drones are expensive right ? well guys every time a domi can kill me i lost alot !! use t1 drones if you cant afford more
i think is gonna be more ballenced now .. you can win too... you have alot of drones !!
