Biolaja Tista Gallente Garoun Investment Bank	Posted - 2008.08.05 19:37:00 - [1] Is it accurate to make the assumption that drones are superficially similar in function to pets from fantasy MMOs?
Tarminic 24th Imperial Crusade	Posted - 2008.08.05 19:39:00 - [2] I'd prefer you didn't, but I guess so. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.83 (Updated 7/3)
Lubimchik Power Seed Enterprises	Posted - 2008.08.05 19:39:00 - [3] No drones, are not pets.. persay... for the most part they are like another gun.. .sort of.. Pets are... well I will let you just get cought a gate camp and understand.
Faife Minmatar Kinda'Shujaa	Posted - 2008.08.05 19:42:00 - [4] no pets are things like alliances that fly with BoB. drones are like ammo. - -
Amandin Adouin	Posted - 2008.08.05 20:02:00 - [5] You can consider them as pets I guess... Wait a minute weren't you the one arguing with me about beastiality? No. They are not pets.
Barbens Sky Net Industries Pure.	Posted - 2008.08.05 20:06:00 - [6] Drones are the main wepons system of most Gallente designs. They are also a viable weapons system for any other ship for any race. Be it jamming, webbing, nosing or what not, they are simply an extra platform for your ship. BaRbEnS
Yelan Zhou Amarr 24th Imperial Crusade	Posted - 2008.08.05 20:11:00 - [7] If they are pets, i demand we can name them.That said i call my mining drone Mr. Drony. War, War never changes.
Abrazzar	Posted - 2008.08.05 20:23:00 - [8] You might find Gallentean Pet Drones in Ambulation, but currently they are merely tools, unless you happen to be able to tame a advanced or even sentient Rogue Drone, lol. -------- Ideas for: Mining
Yelan Zhou Amarr 24th Imperial Crusade	Posted - 2008.08.05 20:25:00 - [9] Originally by: Abrazzar You might find Gallentean Pet Drones in Ambulation, but currently they are merely tools, unless you happen to be able to tame a advanced or even sentient Rogue Drone, lol. And here we have a complete new skill set."Drone taming" War, War never changes.
Banana Torres Federal Defence Union	Posted - 2008.08.05 21:16:00 - [10] Rather than pets, I put drones in the category as damage over time (DoT) spells in other MMOs. You point them at a target and the target suffers damage or some other effect from then on.
Nebulous Minmatar Thukker Insurgents	Posted - 2008.08.05 21:19:00 - [11] Originally by: Biolaja Tista Is it accurate to make the assumption that drones are superficially similar in function to pets from fantasy MMOs? If they are pets then I want to be able to mount an ogre II.
Laila Eldgorn Caldari Certified Household Sweeping Consulting	Posted - 2008.08.05 21:20:00 - [12] I want secondary races opened. I want to be Caldari/Gallente with two scimitars. Uh...
Dzajic Gallente Federal Defence Union	Posted - 2008.08.05 21:57:00 - [13] Well, considering the free will and lack of obedience, they can be considered, in a way...
Lord WarATron Amarr Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2008.08.05 22:01:00 - [14] Shhh with these pets (Drones). Get back to killing some mobs (Rats) and skin their corpses (Salvaging). Once you skin them, you can kill more recipie mobs so you can use jewlcrafting to build rigs (jewls). You can only put on a certain amount of rigs into rig slots (rings into ring slots) Do not forget your potions (boosters) and then enter battlegrounds(fw). -- Billion Isk Mission
OutOfTheBox Cyborg	Posted - 2008.08.05 22:02:00 - [15] I've always thought of my warrier 2's as little jack russell type terriers
Haks'he Lirky Dominion Imperium	Posted - 2008.08.05 22:07:00 - [16] why do people feel the need to correlate everything to other mmo's? They are drones, remote controlled piece of hardware that makes teh pew pew more varied.
masternerdguy	Posted - 2008.08.05 22:08:00 - [17] drones are just little slaves, not pets.
OutOfTheBox Cyborg	Posted - 2008.08.05 22:11:00 - [18] Originally by: Haks'he Lirky why do people feel the need to correlate everything to other mmo's? quote] Hmmm. Let me think about that one for a bit. There's got to be some sort of connection.... nop, it's gone again.
Roy Batty68 Caldari Immortal Dead	Posted - 2008.08.05 22:15:00 - [19] If they're pets, they're BAD little pets. They've gotten better in the last year, but they still have their moments. They're like those winged monkeys on The Wizard of Oz. You're like, "hey, over there. Attack that" And they're like, "hoo hoo hoo, no! I'm gonna go hump this Serpentis leg until it shoots me!" And then you're like, "No, dammit! Shoot that!" And they're like... scratch butt. sniff finger... "uh... what?" Yeah... pets. Sig removed, inappropriate content.

masternerdguy	Posted - 2008.08.05 22:16:00 - [20] psychologically being able to correlate one mmo function to another makes the game seem simpler. But if drones are pets we need a drone lp store and drone faction rewards, remember rogue drones?!
Boz Well Minmatar	Posted - 2008.08.05 22:44:00 - [21] So let's say due to my roleplaying, my character has entered into a forbidden romance with a rogue drone. Does that make me a bestialist?
Daelin Blackleaf The Reclaimed	Posted - 2008.08.05 22:49:00 - [22] Originally by: Nebulous If they are pets then I want to be able to mount an ogre II. Maybe you should take that thought back to the garage and give the wording a little more work.

JuliettE-300 and I have a loving, caring relationship. Wow. And I thought I had seen it all. How exactly does that even work? You disgust me, taking advange of those poor little drones who can't even fight back, they can't even tell you to stop. shudder*
Quelque Chose New Eden Roller Disco Supply	Posted - 2008.08.05 23:02:00 - [27] Originally by: Dzajic Well, considering the free will and lack of obedience, they can be considered, in a way... Ha! Yeah, they're like my brother's goddamn shithead dogs that are constantly breaking stuff and making him look like a redneck yelling, "get back in the house you mother****ers!" Yes indeedy, good times. ___________________________________________
Boz Well Minmatar	Posted - 2008.08.05 23:14:00 - [28] Well, when a man's been out in space for months on end with no one but his drones for company, he begins to see things that he once viewed as illicit in a different light. And while I can't go into the steamy details of our intimate roleplay sessions here, but suffice to say it works. Quite well.

Malcolm Roberts	Posted - 2008.08.05 23:53:00 - [30] I look at drones as the same way as a battlestar commander would look at a Viper squadron...
Irida Mershkov Gallente Demon Theory OWN Alliance	Posted - 2008.08.06 00:03:00 - [31] Edited by: Irida Mershkov on 06/08/2008 00:02:49 Originally by: Malcolm Roberts I look at drones as the same way as a battlestar commander would look at a Viper squadron... You call one of them Starbuck don't you? :D
Mika Meroko Minmatar Crayon Posting Inc	Posted - 2008.08.06 00:27:00 - [32] I dunno, if they are pets, I would be in trouble with PETA.... I get mine killed alot... I see them as the smarter, re-useable cousin of the missiles. Originally by: CCP Atropos I pod people because there's money to be made in selling tears.
GoldFox88 Caldari Signal Omega	Posted - 2008.08.06 00:29:00 - [33] pet = slave hounds, duh! I keep one in my hanger. ________________________ things that bother never you never bother me and I feel happy and fine... HA HA!

Dristra Amarr Shadows of the Dead Daisho Syndicate	Posted - 2008.08.06 01:01:00 - [35] Originally by: Mika Meroko I see them as the smarter, re-useable cousin of the missiles. Best! Support the introduction of well thought out Amarr solutions! I believe rats should avoid you if you have high standing with them.
Amandin Adouin	Posted - 2008.08.06 02:57:00 - [36] Originally by: Boz Well Well, when a man's been out in space for months on end with no one but his drones for company, he begins to see things that he once viewed as illicit in a different light. And while I can't go into the steamy details of our intimate roleplay sessions here, but suffice to say it works. Quite well. Oh I can see it. Midnight trysts on the Myridian Sea... a steamy tet-a-tet near the Pool of Radiance... Sailing off into the suns of Sveipar, until you come across the Point of no Return. I can see it all too well. I can't say I understand your mad love affair with those little bionic beings, but I can see how a man would be driven to such madness.
Boz Well Minmatar	Posted - 2008.08.06 03:33:00 - [37] It's all on the up-and-up. Now I know, it looks bad at first that she can't really speak any English, but she's definitely fluent in the language of love. And sure, you may say it's a bit sketchy that she's only 5 years old. But, you have to keep in mind, that's nearly 35 in drone years. Or was that dog years... wait, er, um, what was I talking about? Nevermind.
masternerdguy	Posted - 2008.08.06 03:37:00 - [38] drone years? drones dont age, they live forever or until someone in 0.0 pops em for some plush compound.
Captain Porter	Posted - 2008.08.06 03:38:00 - [39] Drones are tools. Slaver Hounds are Pets!
Amandin Adouin	Posted - 2008.08.06 04:10:00 - [40] I think thats' 14 in drone years. Shame on you Bozz! Not to mention that she can't speak.
Boz Well Minmatar	Posted - 2008.08.06 04:26:00 - [41] Oh she can speak. She speaks excellent dronese, and I assure you is quite fluent in the "universal language". And how dare you compare my JulietE-300 to a tool Captain. I assure you sir, she's no dildo. Nothing shady going on here though Ama. See for yourself. It goes a little something like this.
Amandin Adouin	Posted - 2008.08.06 05:19:00 - [42] That's funny. I thought it went more like this.
Boz Well Minmatar	Posted - 2008.08.06 05:31:00 - [43] Must... get... groovy...

Celesphira Archangels Assault Force Legion of Honor	Posted - 2008.08.06 06:04:00 - [45] Edited by: Celesphira on 06/08/2008 06:03:58 Drones are deployable strike craft for larger vessels. They're not really pets, they're point defenses. Fantasy characters don't really need point defenses, so...
Reven Cordelle Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2008.08.06 08:22:00 - [46] Casting magic missile = Firing torpedos. OH SHIT WE'RE ACTUALLY PLAYING WOW
Oz Mortair	Posted - 2008.08.06 09:13:00 - [47] If you are referring to "pets" in games like EQ / WOW where you sick them on a target and they do damage or have special abilities, then yes. Though, if you are referring to the pets that don't do anything and are only for looks, like the collectable pets in WOW / Maple Story, then no. There are different kinds of drones. In WOW, Warlock and Hunter pets have special abilities... I'd say that is functionally similar to ECM (IE Felhunter's counter spell) drones. There are drones that do heavy damage, similar to the scepters in EQ. I also believe a lot of players of every MMO have a closed mined biased view of the game they like. Most usually donÆt like being compared to a game that they think is inferior. I only state this in hopes that it may open the minds and opinions of others.
GallenteCitizen20080615 Gallente Federation War News	Posted - 2008.08.06 10:52:00 - [48] i kill pets and there are some big ones in the drone regions =) and there not really they are to big since the noobships is bigger than the eiffel tower Quote: down near the station bio mass plant you can buy burgers that are 5% pork and 95% CRAP
Savage Roar Minmatar	Posted - 2008.08.06 10:56:00 - [49] Originally by: Biolaja Tista superficially similar to fantasy MMOs? EVE is not even remotely similar to a fantasy MMO, aside from the fact that it is also an MMO, and has spacedragons (Linkage) but that¦s a separate issue altogether.
Moonmonkey	Posted - 2008.08.06 12:05:00 - [50] My girl friend is forever saying send your little men in, so they are my little men.
Janu Hull Caldari Terra Incognita Vanguard.	Posted - 2008.08.06 14:22:00 - [51] Originally by: Biolaja Tista Is it accurate to make the assumption that drones are superficially similar in function to pets from fantasy MMOs? Yes, they are. The carrier, and to a lesser extent the Dominix and Myrmidon, are essentially ship versions of the Star Wars Galaxies Creature Handler. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.
