NovaCat13 Garoun Investment Bank Gallente Federation 68	Posted - 2015.09.11 20:34:18 - [2] - Quote 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.

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.

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.

u3pog Ministerstvo na otbranata 693	Posted - 2015.09.13 17:16:45 - [29] - Quote 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.

Quote: no need to calculate everything in the game Correct. You just have to remember a single number. What if I have 10 accounts, all using drones, but with different skills? Should I calculate every time, or maybe remember all their drone range? Maybe I should deploy drones in battle and if they are out of range I will go to refit...oh wait, I am in battle, well maybe next time. Same goes for other stats. Why should there be effective HP, when you can simply calculate it and remember it...Of course you can calculate them yourself, but that's not the point, we might as well just make a formulae for every stat and CCP can disable them.

I tried to send drones out of range and it told me 51km, I skill up once, now it's 53km. They will continue to fight out of range too until they get to a disconnect range, and please don't ask what disconnect range is because I do not know.
