I presume the infinite range 'bug' and the 'always hitting for maximum' bug have been looked at ?

very interesting ideas, very bold though :)
1. When you say lootable, do you mean that if you get it in a can as a loot it will be smaller in your cargo hold than it is in your drone bay? or that you will be able to scoop enemy drones into your cargo hold or what?
2. Will there be auto launch for drones, so if one dies another one is launched?
3. Will drone space for ships change more with these changes or is the current situation + the upcoming crusier changes the final ones for the drone changes?

Are we going to be looking at some damage tweaks here and there for drones? I personally don't use lights and mediums because their damage is quite weak. If lights will be the only way to deal with frigates, their damage will be increased right? if not, I will be very disappointed considering I went the Gallente route for the drones. 10 hobgoblins can barely kill serpentis patrollers before they get pwned. Any light drone squad is asssinated in 0.4 or lower space against NPC frigates, the very targets they apparently will be designed to destroy.

What do you mean by this exactly. Heavy drones are physically smaller then frigs so they shouldnt have a hard time hitting them right?
RP excuse for enhanced gameplay: drones are robots and very predictable - no navigation or evasive manuevering skills here .. carry on
So will heavy/med/light drone damage go up? Will i still be able to wtfpwn a frig attacking my bs?
Or...does this mean that i'll be able to carry enough heavy/medium drones and be able to deploy them against the appropriate target. Heavy for bs/cruisers, medium for frigs? If this is true, YAAAR!!!

Will the missing medium drones (Kinetic and Explosive damage dealing) be put in as well?
If so, what will they be called?
If they haven't been given names yet, can one be called Dave and the other Papa Lazarous?

Yes, they now exist, we will be putting them into FightClub Hangar when we are ready for feedback from public testing.

[list]Giving drones accuracy to make them better at engaging targets of "same size" - this is currently in testing/tuning on Chaos.

TBH i think you're going to far again, all that needed to be changed was the infinite range bug, and now all this stuff about waves of drones Sounds like stuff that is going to drastically change pvp yet again. Anyway i shouldnt talk, i can't test atm, hope it all works out though.
Meridius, Adopt or DieÖ - These changes are going to add new depth to Drones "area". What we can see is evolution like in every other aspect of EVE, that's the way it should work.
Frankly I just can't wait to take part in testing em, u should also Meridius before putting a whine on these forums.

I like the idea of race speciffic drones, but i feel that these drones should only be allowed to be used in there race ships, ie only mimatar drones in a rupture.
As for looting the drone i take it you mean disabled drones scooped to cargo bay were they would need to be repaired?

When the drones are speeding towards their targets, will they be getting a signature radius penalty ala the MWD's? If the drones are far away from your ship and you tell them to return, will they reach the same speeds as if they were aproaching their target?
When you say that you plan on making drones lootable, will it be possible to pick them up from the container and just drop them into the drone bay?

This definately sounds good. I think most people were looking for fixes to existing issues with drones, but these changes would make drones a really serious weapon type, which is what they always deserved to be. Gives those drone specialists some loving, and even though I'm not one of them I'm excited to see them in combat. So yeah, nice work  |

This will put the dominix on the map again for sure. And ofcourse the arbitrator and vexor with their new bonusses (which i'm sure is related to current testing on chaos).
I'm not a chaos tester or big on drones (just to end the jamming frigates in whatever npc spawn i'm killing), but please make sure the domi is not becoming the next new gankmobile because of this.
Btw, on a little sidenote.. when DEVs are referring to changes that "might" happen, it nearly always happens exactly as proposed :)

Technically there are race specific drones, if you look at the different drone designs you will see that the Wasps look like Caldari (and do Kinetic Damage), the Berzerkers look like a box of junk (and do explosive damge), the Ogres look plain weird (and do Thermal damage) and the Praetors look like that cool chrome ship in Star Wars that anakin flys (and does EM damage).
We do have race specific drones, there just isnt any bonus for a particular pilot to choose his/her race over anothers. |
