Scarabeus Sacer Red Federation RvB - RED Federation 10	Posted - 2012.04.08 23:04:00 - [1] - Quote This is sort of a two in one thing... First... Why are there only large stasis web drones? Almost nobody uses them and as they are, they are not very useful from a performance point of view and from m3 required point of view. Second.... Why are there Small Stasis Web Drone rigs? No small ship can fit a large drone, that i can think of and all small ships that need to be slowed down can outrun it, easily. Even armor plated BC can outrun that drone..... Thirdly... can we have medium web drones and maybe light web drones? Gallente ships as it is, have a crappy chance of getting into blaster range. With web drones that chance will increase by quite a lot., if the person being targeted is not paying attention. The downside to this would be 1. That you would use drone space for web drones instead of damage drones 2. That your web drones can be locked and killed, like any other drone I would suggest a medium web drone with a web factor of 12% and MWD speed of 2500 small drone with a web factor of 7% MWD speed of 3200. Most frigs and cruisers built for speed would be able to outrun and kill them if they are paying attention. Overall I think we need a bit of a drone revamp as the use of drones is hardly ever anything other than damage oriented. Im sure you will find that 99% of the time ships are fitted for damage drones. Its like hybrids, they were never used because they sucked, they still do just not as much. A clear indication of something being out of balance with everything else is that players do not use said item. For drones, given the amount of drone versatility and tactical potential, drones, as they are, a severely underused, underpowered and basically overall meh... I will get into this later though on another post. Thoughts?

Xercodo Disturbed Friends Of Diazepam Dark Matter Coalition 1001	Posted - 2012.04.09 06:31:00 - [11] - Quote I wish all drones worked kinda like sentries, except that they'd still orbit you, and their range and tracking was extended to be similar to guns of their same size; like the Kushan drone frigate in Homeworld 1. Also, drones and fighters need physical turrets on them instead of shots magically flying out sideways from a point on the front of them that is modeled to look like a gun. If not then at least make drones be able to fly omni-directionally so that they always face their target. Makes sense for drones but not as much for fighters... they either need to make attack runs or have the turret. And it's always bugged me that pretty much every drone and fighter had a model with two or more guns on it yet only one of them ever fires. Even if CCP doesn't add a second dmg hit can they at least show a double shot visually? And can drones have their own firing sounds please? A swarm of minmatar drones get very noisy very quickly when they all use the sound effect from dual 425mm autocannons. Last gripe: can drones have their engine trails back plz? :3 The Drake is a Lie
