I've made posts before in the ideas forum, but I'll repeat them here since this seems a hot topic.
New Drone Warfare
Improvements:
ò AI for the MWD (Especially E-War drones)
ò Small and Medium Webber drones (short (25km?) range limit, low % web)
ò Hitpoint boost
ò Anti-Drone mode for Lights - Have them auto-attack nearest enemy drones
ò Graphical addition of a dronebay (with opening door?) on ships and have drones seem to enter and leave that dronebay on deployment
New Stuff:
ò A module to attack/disrupt a ship's bandwidth (*), disabling active drones and a module to capture/convert and control disabled enemy drones
ò Remove the instant recharge of drone shield when scooped
ò Add a passive repair speed of the dronebay, repairing shield, armour and hull over time
ò Prism drones - New sentry drones where 1 'focus' drone absorbs and channels the fire of the other drones (upto 15 or 20?) over one or two firing cycles into 1 large alpha shot.
ò Cap Transfer drones
ò Passive Repair - Logistics drones auto-repair nearest damaged friendly (including friendly drones)
ò Active Repair - Logistics drones respond to friendly 'need repair' gang signals
ò Drone Damage threshold - Drones auto-return when a set amount of damage is taken
Other related:
ò POS Dronebays and Fighter bays - Allows Drones & Fighters to be assigned to a player to help defend a system or help ratting etc
ò Interface:
i) Remove the Lag on deployment of drones
ii) Coloured/highlighted behaviour buttons settable for each drone group
iii) Hotkeys for launching/returning drones, assigning a target etc
iv) Show bandwidth used and available
v) Add drone damage to logs
(*) - This assumes that bandwidth is the new mechanism for controlling drones. So attacking the bandwidth would mean only smaller/less drones can be launched, or if there are active drones that require more bandwidth, then they can be disabled.
I'd love to offer ideas on fighters too, but I've not really had a chance to play with them. Hope this little summary helps.
- Ideas are my business...maybe thats why I'm always skint!
