Is there a special bell and whistle that tells you how far your drones can be controlled? |

Trying to send them outside your range tells you how far the range is... EFT tells you how far your range is... I do not know of any plain as day ways to find that info in game. |

You don't need to do math to figure out your falloff or missile range anymore, so why should drones be the exception? |

They shouldn't. I consider that lack of drone control range info as a long standing oversight from the devs. |

So my range is 4000*5+4000*3+20+0(assume unbonused)=32020 arbitrary units?

Kilometers, just like everything else? Drone Avionics is 5000 and Advanced Drone Avionics is 3000, and the base range is 20km. So your range would be 54000. |

Sure you do, but it's a highly variable number that depends on all kinds of things so there needs to be some way of knowing what it is under these particular circumstances, whereas DCR is a highly fixed and invariable number that's easy to memorise across all your ships.

At the same time, it takes all of two seconds to just commit your range to memory and look at the overview.

Ridiculous statement, Tippia. The player should not be expected to research and calculate drone ranges manually. It is a waste of play time.

All I'm going to say:
CCP please: - double DCR! 60k range with all level V skills is ******. - do something with that awful drone control window ... like add icons and make it more compact. How about round ? - let me rename drone goups ... seriously.
Also, can someone explain what this thread is about?-á (Relax ! I'm just quoting Holgrak Blacksmith here.)

lol, next at 11:
I shouldn't have to actually calculate if that market order will make me a margin or not... or figure out what my tank is in EHP since I would have to Maths my way through raw HP/s and my resists! I shouldn't have to calculate my tracking either! |

Why would a super advanced space ship from the distant future have some way of letting its crew know the maximum effective range of a primary weapon system? That's just crazy talk. Next thing you will want is a sensor system that doesn't have to be manually cycled every time you use it like a 1940's RADAR set. |

For those saying "Math" and "Thinking", there should be an option to remove all stats on fitting screen, attributes and overview, so you can calculate them yourselves, since you seem to like it.
Stats are something good. EVE is popular with its spreadsheets, no need to calculate everything in the game, I think CCP can ease us on that one. |
