If a ship has a 50m3 drone bay then it's clearly not the game mechanics intent that he uses 5 ogre II's is it?
Not everything that hasn't "you may also try this" written with large red letters is an exploit.

It's NOT an exploit. You already have GM clarification on it, and it doesn't need to be re-clarified, because ultimately last year's drone changes are irrelevant! Before the drone changes you could control 10 heavy drones this way (or 15 in the case of the Vexor )on ships, now the drones have double the hitpoints and do double the damage, but you can only control half as many. It's exactly the same situation.
Unless of course you want to tell me that you also think being assigned fighters is an exploit?
It's great not being Amarr, ain't it? |

Thats clearly intended by the game mechanics. If you are going to bring a point to the table for debate make it one that isnt so easy to beat down

1. ECM drones suck ass.
2. Drones aren't affected by ECM drones on the hulk, so infact, that would make no difference whatsoever. ------

Edited by: Soporo on 06/02/2007 23:08:53 To the Op, I seriously doubt you are the first Hulk victim, btw, but accolades to you for trying him.
I was checking out the Sentry Drones descriptions and could envision some usefull tactics for them, admittedly, most rather situational. But the stats look kinda impressive.
Does anyone use these on a regular basis? You would think a buncha Miners, or anyone who stays in one spot, would be able to defend themselves much easier with a dozen of these around. |

I figure it falls into the same category as controlling 5 fighters with your 10m3 drone bay interceptor. You still have the capability to link 5 drones, you just don't have the capacity to carry them there yourself. Its not like you're going to stuff those fighters into your bay after all.

Hulks can get some decent tanks with the right gear. Props to you for not whining about it, and taking it like a man.
As for the drone issue everyone is on... If you want to be technical, in the RP background for EVE, aren't drones just linked to the ships onboard computer when controlling them? I really see no reason that controlling 5 heavy drones with only 25m3 drone space is a problem. Like someone previously stated, you may be able to control more drones than the ship would normally have space for, but you are also restricted to only having those drones in that current area.

The only thing not intended is that a ship with 50m3 dronebay carries 5 ogre IIs in the drone bay. This would be called exploit. But 'in-space'-dronecontrol is determinated by skills. nuttn else. So what he did was perfecly legal imho. and funny

If my Zealot, that doesn't have a drone bay, can control 5 templars a hulk can control 5 Ogre II's without it being classed as an exploit. Quite a good tactic if you ask me. (yes i know that fighters are designed so they can be controlled by anyone in gang)

I don't see why an official response is needed.
They will show up on the scanner, you aren't exceeding any set limits, and it's not over powered since your stuck there. If drones could warp THEN it would be a problem.
signature removed ... Pirlouit I finally got my sig nerfed once, I feel like a forum warrior! |
