If you knew that getting rid of drones would leave the ability for 400+ ship fleet battles without severe lag, would you vote to remove drones?
After reading battle reports in CAOD, I've seen in 200 people in local is cause of enough for people to be unable to load grid properly in those battles. 200 ships plus 3 drones average each = 600 + original 200 ships = 800 new entities for server to track around each other. Plus everything else going on everywhere.
Can Eve ever be without severe lag in large engagements once drones are present?

idiots: ( you know who you are )
this isn't some nerf thread, it was a question. Anyway, since this game has over 150K, with so much in alliances in 0.0, how can you say remove 200 + ship battles? A lot of people want to kill alot of other people.
So don't let me see you clowns whining about lag in battles anymore, take what you get.

actually, the drone-swarm no pun intended is not such a bad idea. 5 drones, being tracked by the server as being in one drone "wing" therefore one unit like you say. Or however many you are able to launch.
Also, could make it so that the HP is the overall HP of all 5 drones combined, and as the HP falls, some drones in the wing are destroyed.
For example. Drone wing of 5 ogre's has 2000 HP. One drone HP = 400. So if the groupd of drones is being shot and the HP falls to 1600, that's one drone gone from the drone wing.
This is actually a great idea, I wonder if CCP ever contemplated this.
This way, all ships still get the same amount of drones, same amount of damage, and same amount of HP.
