... as title says.. drones that act as tractor beams maybe unable to use normal drones at same time or something of the sort.. dont care what restrictions.. as long as there drones that can tractor... for the damn slow ships....

Not a bad idea. I would suggest making them large, just for some balance. I dont want to see an Ishkur hauling 5 cans at once =(.

Oink ^OO^
Your sig is too large. Please resize it so that it fits within 400x120. -Conuion Meow ([email protected]) |

The devs decided that its was drones or trackor beams not both. As not all ships have drone bays they when for beams, I the idea was that you had to give fire power to use then in stead of just adding them as a drone that will be deployed then the fightign over.

it would still be sacraficing fire power to use tractor drones instead of normal drones since it would only be used by ships with drone bays naturualy they would have drones with them.. its possible to limit it so that they could not use there normal amount of drones if they carry and tractor drones..

Some ships are just not suitable to be used as a salvaging ship ... the idea of salvaging was as a PROFESSION ... not a hobby (ie something that is required to do after every fight) so fitting a large ship to salvage and fight should be penalized. rather than fight you salvage ... rather than salvage 100% you fight and salvage slower than old people having sex. Its part of the profession line of kali ... stuff to do OTHER than agent run, blow crap up, and mine. If you are concerned with salvaging get a buddy into a destroyer to salvage while you kill that way the BOTH of you could concentrate and do what your ship setup is intended for.

What i think you are impling here is that you dont care what restrictions are on it as long as you do not have to plan ahead and fit an AB or MWD on the ship to move around -OR- you do not have to diminish your combat capability even more by adding tractor beams. Both of which was not what the devs had in mind when they came out with mini-professions. Do one or the other or do both poorly. IMHO you should invest in a friend to help you out ... or pay someone whichever is easier for you

By your logic, we shouldn't have mining drones.
As it stands, we do. Every ship not having a drone bay is a moot issue. If we can mine without having to use mining lasers, we should be able to tractor and salvage all the same. Currently, Drones are geared toward combat....so until CCP fixes the AI and does somethin to mitigate losses due to ctds; they should give a practical use for the drones skills.

I don't like the idea of salvage just being extra free money for ratters.
And as to mining drones, don't make me laugh. Okay, you can have tractor drones, but they tractor at 25m/s, and slower for larger wrecks.

Because of how rigging was implemented; that's essentially all it is. More money for the people who do noting but kill rats. I don't really see a problem with it. If it was an issue, it's one of the least of all the problems I'd worry about with Eve.
As for the mining drones...granted, they do suck. However, the point I was trying to make was that there is no valid argument against having a wider variety of non-combat utility drones.
Drones don't do the damage turrets; mining drones don't mine as well as lasers, tractor drones shouldn't tracter as well as it's turret counterpart, and I think spy drones would make a great idea (either PiP, or full immersion controll).
