I suggest a new class of drone with similarities to the existing repair drones, but with a quirk. I shall call them 'Fleet Repair Sentries'. These drones would be 10m3 each (small enough to fit in, for example, an exhumer) and would be deployed in a similar manner to sentries.
They would have a slow rate of fire, but be capable of transferring a sizeable chunk of shield or armour to any ship in the fleet over a distance of 15km - specifically any ship that their owner has on the watch list upon it dropping below 50% shields or armour.
This would then require the drone to wait 30 seconds to re-charge before it can transfer again.
OR: Just give logistics drones a 'Repair fleet if under attack' mode.
It's not going to compare with a 4 rep scimi but it could make things a bit more interesting. |

To an extent yes, I don't see why they have to be so dumb that they can't realise on their own it's a good idea to rep the ship next to them that's about to explode.
But I was thinking more along the lines of rather than them being 'little bit, often' reps, that they inject larger chunks, but at a much slower rate more akin to emergency tools. |

Rat damage is easily tankable.
The idea is to allow a *fleet* of people to offer a certain amount of automatic burst tank to one or more pilots who fall under attack such as ganking, but to constrain the amount given by the existing mechanics of limiting the number of drones each person can carry.
This would encourage industrial groups etc to work together without requiring a dedicated logi ship to sit there with everyone locked up doing sod all for 95% of the time which, as far as I can tell, adds nothing to the enjoyment of the game.
Would also be interesting for the small gangs I am involved in. |
