Thank you for taking the time to read this as I have an idea for you to consider. This is not a GÇ£rework the Orca to give me something for freeGÇ¥ pitch, this is a technology suggestion to add into the game that can add to the abilities of the pilots.
The Orca for all its tremendous size and hauling capability itGÇÖs limited. Currently GÇô 50MB of drone bandwidth Suggest GÇô 125MB of drone bandwidth
Currently GÇô 5 drones controlled at once Suggest GÇô 8 drones (Tech 1 rig) and 10 drones (Tech 2 rig) controlled at once with a rig installed and required training completed (see next item)
A new drone rig to control an additional 3 drones (Tech 1) and 5 drones (Tech 2) similar to how the Medium Command Processor adds an additional Command Burst module to a command-capable ship.
Even though you can use the rig to unlock the ability to use more drone bandwidth, it will be the skill training that will allow the use of more drones in game.

I had my Orca Pilot simulate a battle Orca with 5 augmented Ogres - over 1100 dps and 315K EHP before boosts. The potential exists to ruin a hot droppers day but I think it would be overpowered for highsec! |

What if this was to be restricted to mining, ECM and salvage drones? |

Back in the beginnings of time, sorry when Eve launched you could launch up to 10 drones from any ship, as long as they had the dronebay to carry them.
The Drone Interfacing skill that we have now initially added 1 extra drone above the 5 (from the Drones skill). The problem was lag. Having huge furballs with everyone launching 10 drones really kicked the server hamsters in the teeth. Hence Drone Interfacing was changed to basically add an extra drone's capability to the initial 5.
Lag is bad, anything that increases it is bad. |

LOL drone boats the ones with the 50% damage and hit points used to get 1+ drone per lv so in the old day you could till the skill lv of a pilot by the number of drones launched. if a drone boat launched less than 15 drone's it gave a good idea on the pilots skills and I had people run when my vexor/domi launched 15 drones in the old days but it produced massive lag the worst was the carriers and moros as the they could launch a lot more the moros had 10 drones +5 per lv which added upto 35 drones each maxed 2+ of those really lagged a system :) |
