Xentac	Posted - 2008.05.07 22:30:00 - [1] Its hard to track the effectiveness of drones and find I am using drones blindly. For example, I cant see the damage my drones are doing in the combat log or on screen so I have no idea of the damage they are doing which makes it harder to decide if I should deploy a different set of drones. When using ECM drones for example I can not see when they are actually jamming a target as I can when using a jammer module from my ship. I am sure no more information is available for the other drone types as well, like dampening, webbing etc.... Feedback on what the drones are doing is important in PVP combat. It could be a deciding factor on whether to change drones, or run away. As gallente ships have many "drone boats" which rely on drones for their DPS or electronic warfare seeing feedback on them is very important. Please add feedback from drones like we have on all other damage and EW modules.
Irn Bruce	Posted - 2008.05.08 00:00:00 - [2] Yes, I agree entirely.
StainLessStealRat Caldari Firman AB 101010 Alliance	Posted - 2008.05.08 02:25:00 - [3] great idea most important is with Ewar drones imho.
Vego Slentis Copperhead Arsenal The Fourth District	Posted - 2008.05.08 02:43:00 - [4] I agree entirely that drone actions should be included in the live window as well as the combat log. While we are on it... fix the log? That has to be the worst combat log in any game...ever.
Sparkinator Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2008.05.08 03:16:00 - [5] Yup, totally. Add drones to the log in all forms, and make the damn log better. --------------------------- Your neighborhood sociopath.
Pliauga	Posted - 2008.05.08 05:14:00 - [6] /signed Maybe this could be visible in the drone overview as an added column, like damage dealt on last strike and damage received on last hit.
Seth Ruin Minmatar Galactic Exploration and Mining Corporation	Posted - 2008.05.08 06:13:00 - [7] Drones need MUCH more love. I absolutely agree with this idea. However, another important addition would be to be able to see how your skills affect drones once they are in your drone bay (much like you can see the "new" attributes of weapons fitted to a ship, as affected by your skills).
Sparkinator Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2008.05.08 06:27:00 - [8] Originally by: Seth Ruin Drones need MUCH more love. I absolutely agree with this idea. However, another important addition would be to be able to see how your skills affect drones once they are in your drone bay (much like you can see the "new" attributes of weapons fitted to a ship, as affected by your skills). Oh definitely. I love EFT and all but man, if I want to just consider training Drone Interfacing to 5 or something, I want to be able to see how much I already do in-game. --------------------------- Your neighborhood sociopath.
Callthetruth Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2008.05.08 07:20:00 - [9] yes something needs to be done about the combat log issue especially with drones either working and u not knowing or being ineffective and u being blown up
Ahkali Ahline Minmatar Fire Wings of Destiny Brotherhood of Nod.	Posted - 2008.05.08 09:48:00 - [10] I would also like the updated stats show in the info window when the drones are loaded in the drone bay, much like when guns are mounted on the ships. Also maybe some tonal sounds when drones acknowledge commands, are in orbit, idle or whatnot.

Silvana Kor'ah Minmatar	Posted - 2008.05.08 10:01:00 - [11] Of course this would be a very nice enhancement and i would also love to see this. But i assume, this will take a lot more load on the servers. At least damages in combat log. As we can now see ewar modules in overview, it might though be a option to show the ewar icon to own drones as well if they are successfully.

Odizzido	Posted - 2008.05.09 01:53:00 - [13] agreed. I have always found it strange to not know what is up with my drones. And yeah, the combat log is crap. It should have at LEAST some filter options so you can actually read the thing when you have 20 ships attacking you. Right now I resort to taking a screencap of the log and pasting it into paint so I can read it. pretty sad.
yaizon	Posted - 2008.05.09 03:07:00 - [14] Further I would like to be able to organize my drones into the drone 'folders' in my dronebay while docked. After fitting a new domi i have to undock and launch drones to unsort them then move them into the folder things. kind of annoying.
Joe Free	Posted - 2008.05.09 10:45:00 - [15] Agreed.
Joe Free	Posted - 2008.05.10 10:57:00 - [16] Bump - yea I know, so what, I would really like to see some of these changes. Hey CCP can you at least throw a bone to this idea ?
Ooook	Posted - 2008.05.10 11:22:00 - [17] Nice idea and would indeed be useful, but it sounds like a massive lag generator you would introduce...
Joe Free	Posted - 2008.05.10 23:40:00 - [18] At least have the drones show the correct info when you are using them. I would think all that information is already being (or hope anyway) generated in the game program. Our ships, weapons, mods and so forth already do the same once we install them and and they are actived. So I don't really seeing this causing lag. And doing the math and actually seeing the game provide you with the numbers it is using are 2 different ball games. My thoughts anyway.
Marcus Gideon	Posted - 2008.05.11 01:58:00 - [19] /signed. I don't see this causing lag, considering the game should be doing this math anyways. The drones are causing damage, or are influencing the other ships in some form or fashion. All we want is a report back on how that's going, right?
Xentac	Posted - 2008.05.15 15:39:00 - [20] I can't see how it could cause lag as stated above, the math is being done already. We just need to see it printed somewhere. If a missile boat was using em missiles and you could not see that you where only doing 19 damage instead of 75, how would you know to switch to kinetic missiles. The same rules apply to drones only we can't see that same information. The data is there just show it too us. Can anyone from CCP comment on this, any plans or work being done to make drone information on par with all other the others?
