Edited by: BlueSmok on 12/05/2005 11:06:54 Now that Missles is on the overhaul hit list, can we get drones on the queue. Reading from the discription of Wrath cruise missles "Guidance and propulsion systems are of Gallentean origin and were inititally used in drones, making Wrath fast and nimble despite its heavy payload" So perhaps any changes to missle guidance should apply to drones as well?
Also with the thought of missle like behavior, with FOF missles they target any enemies actively targeting you, perhaps drones could get this upgrade as well and seek out those enemies when not directed to do otherwise . I think they used to do this some time in the past, now I find my drones hanging around during combat waiting for me to tell them to attack the ebil demon ship that assails me.
Also please stop the drones from making sweet love while returning to the ship and holding up the scooping process, or implement a Return to Drone bay command. I suppose this could be remedied with collisions adjusted with drones so they bounce off each other like ships do, instead of getting "stuck" together. I'm not sure where baby drones come from, but I'm not excited about mine experimenting during combat..
So I beg to Thee oh Lords of Eve, hear my humble call!

Assuming "Return To Drone Bay" worked 100% then it would be a godsend. Us drone lovers have to spend a bit too much time stopping our lumbering ships to let drones (which travel significantly faster than us) catch up and get in range of the scoop command.

Along the lines of drones seeking out new targets perhaps it can be something like a setting for turrets/launchers. Instead of manual and auto, how about passive and active targeting. Passive they will sit there and take punishment or idly watch you get toasted. Active they would act like launched FOF missles and target nearest rat or if in range switch to the rat you're actively firing on... Of course you could just target the rat and send them after them. Or maybe they could make use of the taging system and attack the rats in order of preference? would be nice in complex/deedSpace if you could tag the frigates before and let the drones work their way down the list while you are occupided with the big ships...
Just another Hippie idea

Just stopping them from bumping into eachother would help immensly Another thought i have would be if orbitting drones couldnt follow with you in warp? would be nice , a kind of gangwarp !

Edited by: Vulkyn on 14/05/2005 07:42:23 SIGNED !!! yes drones need an AI boost, some nifty new attack commands like you suggested (i love the passive / active idea) and the return to bay command !! I absolutly hate loosing drones, most of the ones i am still using date back almost 4 months. Maybe you can add an AI experince thing, the longer they live the better / smarter they become or something.
Maybe even give us the ability to name them !! How about adding utility drones like repair / gather loot stuff like that would be cool ..... would be cool having 14 drones repairing your armor as u dish out damage !! Even help your friends by sending your trusty drones to repair them in combat ..... Yes i love my drones way to much .... check my sig !!

A nice feature to the active/passive would be to have them work as a group in the active mode, in other words attack the same target instead of 2-5 different once.
