You have implants for every other thing under the sun and 5 differant approaches to it depending on your slot number. Yet not ONE drone augmentation implant. The closest you get is a damage rig for sentries and NOTHING ELSE.
Ok, time to stop playing favorites.
Give drone specialists some well deserved love also.

Hmm, I was thinking you were proposing a set of Rogue Drone implants (like Talisman, Halo, Snake, etc.) Now that would be pretty interesting. Get the whole set and you get a broad range of bonuses to DPS, armor, capacitor, with the only drawback being that they eat your brain and seize control of your ship. Then you could fly around with an octopus on the front of your ship like the Rogue Drone Dominix.

The problem is, how are you going to make players able to get these? Drone Regions harbor NO stations and Rogue Drones is a mostly non-sentient faction.

Agreed 100%. As a drone user myself, I know how lacking the DPS is for drones when compared to other forms of damage types (hybrid, energy, missiles, and projectiles). There's an upgrade for each of those, so here's what I was thinking:
Slot 6: Light Drone DPS Slot 7: Drone Control Range Slot 8: Medium Drone DPS Slot 9: Drone Tracking Slot 10: Heavy/Sentry Drone DPS
These could be made by CreoDron (the Gallente Drone corp) and available through most R&D corp LP stores. It should line up with most other items as well, as far as gun vs drone size and such.

I'm not sure that's enough options, really. How about a list like this: Slot 6: Light Drone Damage, Drone Speed, Drone Optimal/Falloff Slot 7: Fighter Damage, Drone Tracking, Drone Bay Size(not bandwidth) Slot 8: Medium Drone Damage, Drone HP, Drone Control Range Slot 9: All Drone Damage, Drone E-War, Drone Repair Slot 10: Heavy Drone Damage, Sentry Drone Damage, Drone Mining
This list is based on putting things in similar spots as the current implants are(more so turrets than missiles, since the drone races are turret users), and trying to make it so that no one ship gets too many bonuses from these. Some of them are a little far-fetched, I admit, but I think it's better to have a lot of implant choices than a few. ------------------ Fix the forums! |

On the topic of Drones, I'd like the whole weapons group revisited by CCP. How come we only have three modules, none of which T2 I might add, affecting drone stats when everything else has 9234 (roughly) modules?

Sets could be divided between damage and armor and those the amplify support drones. Bonuses to drone shield and armor rep ammount. Bonus to webber or neut drone ability. Bonus to drone sig radius to make them harder to target and to destroy.
The minor sets of other implants give 14%-33% increase while the major sets go from 20% to 53% bonus to some real major ship stats.
Why cant we get either sets or hardwire implants to do the same?
Hardwires could add to drone speed, tracking, damage, armor and shield amounts without unbalancing the game. Even a 5% (typically largest increase for faction sold hardwirings) increase in drone damage is minor yet missiles and gun systems have these all over and some overlapping to give over 10% bonuses.
Please ccp can we at least have a reason why there are NONE of these in game?
Something other then total silence and the release of another nondrone implant?
Does the designer of drone stuff at ccp actually like drones or are they just there for the paycheck? J/k but really, no other system has been so ignored yet has been so widely used as a primary weapons system since the release of EVE.

I wouldnt even mind this if the implants made clone jumping impossible and slowly made you an outlaw as you "turn" toward a rogue drone mentality. Would be kinda cool actually as you slowly become rogue and your standing toward roque drones actually increased. Eventually they stop attacking you. You eventually get to dock at complexes (you have to find them) to actually buy raw materials or use labs or whatnot but you are treated as a -5 standing to everyone else. Once that clone dies you are moved to your clone and become "normal" again but have a standing loss across the board since noone knows if you are truly "cured". Anything would be better then the silence about this issue we have had for 5 years. Wont happen but it is a cool idea but given the effort it would take to implement and given that drones havent been given too much attention except as a weapons subsystem for the other races it is unlikely in the extreme.

Yes. But for goodness sake don't let them control drone bay size. Why would anything plugged into your brain affect the physical dimensions of a ship?
Have a module for drone bay size though.

How can something plugged into your head affect your armour HP? That's pretty physical too. Or gun tracking? I don't think the physical speed a turret swivels at can be augmented mentally. If anything, the drone bay size can be excused a bit more easily than those - you've just figured out a way to use the same space more efficiently. ------------------ Fix the forums! |
