I am talking about a mod which doesn't require you to lock the drones you want to rep and actually reps all your drones equally.
Brilliant idea. Drones are not supposed to be micromanaged anyway, everything is supposed to be easy and automated. And we should have similar modules on logis for player repping.
I'm detecting sarcasm here, but there really shouldn't be. Drones tend to be controlled as a group, rather than individually, a mod that reps them as such seems reasonable. Drones aren't your fleetmates, they're your guns. Can you imagine having to lock up your own guns in order to, say, reload them?
Drones as a whole need more options, because as it stands the main reason drone ships are viable is that they can fit guns/neuts in their highs to compensate for the fact that drones as weapons are just not very good. If I want to fit a gank domi, why does it have to entail blasters? The ishtar is something of an exception to this, but then the whole reason it's viable is that they gave it the drone bay of a BS, so that illustrates the problem rather nicely. The only ship that's good solely by virtue of its drones is one that gets oversized drones.Give them a high slot mod that ups the various types of drone damage, make it use some cap so you don't get crazy overtanked domis and to keep ishtars from fitting heavy drone damage mods, Problem solved.

I'm sure an appropriate level of damage boost could be found that would only be slightly above that of a high slot weapon with damage mods backing it up. Even one adding some supplemental drone bay or bandwidth would be better pasted here for the same reason. THIS. (really, this time). There are not enough options for hi-slots -> everybody and their autistic cousin are fitting neuts. I don't even think a warfare link-like restriction is needed, normal stacking penalties should be enough to avoid domis-of-doom-that-can-solo-an-incursion. Nooooooooooo comment.
