Strel Samodelkin Caldari Nationalist Party	Posted - 2009.01.05 16:29:00 - [1] Edited by: Strel Samodelkin on 05/01/2009 16:29:19 Patch Notes ----------- -New option available "recall drones when initiating warp" If selected then (WARNING: Enabling this option may increase the time it takes for you to initiate warp. Are you sure?) Caldari Nationalist Party
Strel Samodelkin Caldari Nationalist Party	Posted - 2009.01.05 16:30:00 - [2] This is not an actual patch note, but does everyone else thinks this would be a GREAT idea? Caldari Nationalist Party

ry ry	Posted - 2009.01.05 16:54:00 - [6] Edited by: ry ry on 05/01/2009 16:56:29 the point is, whilst in a world where warp technology is mundane, wiring the drone recall button to the initiate warp button is a piece of ****. in a game it just becomes an extra bit of automation, and automation is largely the antithesis of what eve's all about. once they automatically scoop, since they already auto engage when you attack somebody, why not automatically deploy them when you're aggro'd? surely that's just another simple change that the players would support? and if drones do that surely guns should too. etc. better imo that players need to remember to collect their drones before they warp off, or possibly even think twice before dumping a cloud of ecm drones the moment the come out of warp. in the last week i've lost three dronebays full of hob2s, but it was my fault that i did rather than some error in the game logic.
Juggernot	Posted - 2009.01.05 17:08:00 - [7] ry ry I think the reason has nothing to do with being lazy or automation but, because when you get DC'd drones get killed. I have lost entire drone bays cuz of this. SO, If there is an option for me not to lose multiple flights of drones during laggy periods of eve then I am all for it.
Faife Federation of Freedom Fighters	Posted - 2009.01.05 17:09:00 - [8] i'm sure glad you posted this here and not in "features and ideas".
Lui Kai Better Than You	Posted - 2009.01.05 17:13:00 - [9] If only there were some forum, somewhere, where Feature Ideas and Discussion could be posted without 800 "hai aint dis a kewl ideaz?!?" posts on GD daily. Wherever could we find such a place? ----------------

Emily Spankratchet Minmatar Pragmatics	Posted - 2009.01.05 17:19:00 - [11] Originally by: Gone'Postal With the ammount of issues drones have with returning of late, no thanks. This. "Return to drone bay" was almost fixed, once. Then they borked it again with recent patches. Now it's even worse than it was. Sometimes drones return to me and then orbit at MWD speed, refusing to get in the bay. That, however, is a picnic compared to drones that return and then sit in space, abandoned, about 4km away. Did I click "Abandon drones"? I think not. So why decide you're not my drones any more, FFS. And yes, I have bug-reported this (on another account) with varying degrees of getting the bug accepted.

Its a shame those cloaking farming ravens dont use drones lol Please resize image to a maximum of 400 x 120, not exceeding 24000 bytes.

A mission runner would LOVE this setting, and even a large number of PvPers would use this setting. It does not take drones that long to return to drone bay. Caldari Nationalist Party
Jacob Holland Gallente Weyland-Vulcan Industries	Posted - 2009.01.05 18:25:00 - [18] If that applied to emergency warps as well then it might be a solution to the problem of D/C'd carriers losing their fighters... But it would have to work. -- Originally by: cordy Respect to IAC .Your one of the few people who truly deserve to own and live in the space you are in.
shoot me House Harkonnen	Posted - 2009.01.05 19:08:00 - [19] So I guess this option would prevent a ship from warping away until all the drones have returned? This would effectively be warp jamming my own ship as there is always at least one drone insisting on orbiting just out of scooping range when I recall them at the moment. I have personally lost a few ships in the past foolishly waiting a couple of seconds extra just to save some drones and ending up in a pod because of it. Bad idea.
Ancy Denaries Caldari Solaris Operations	Posted - 2009.01.05 19:30:00 - [20] Caps is cruise control for cool. Or? Balance is important, but you will always adapt to changing circumstances and you don't whine about stuff you can't change.
