That's why they buffed mining drone rigs. Plus Procurer and Skiff have drone HP bonuses. |

Any idea if the t2 mining drones will then have a better yield and travel faster than the 'augmented' ones? :) |

It just means we can eek a little more out of our t2 drones without having to pay out for the augmented ones. |

Only reason to add a t2 salvage drone is if it can salvage advanced wrecks of players and npc's. |

Forget the ability to have 2-3 defense drones.. Just want to be able to mine more than one block of ice with a drone every 4 minutes.. T2 Ice Harvester drones are worthless... Can't be arsed to use them.. Would rather just use my mack.. Twice the ice in half the time.

Please forgive the Lugh Crow-Slave as he always post some random BS around; Never agree with anyone, anything if it's not out of his own idea;
In opossite i think the bonus for mining drones would be sweet as... ffs Exumers are more advanced ships from Mining Barges...

to be fair you can find plenty of places where i show i do not agree with things that come from my ideas some times even in the same post. You can also find plenty of areas i agree with people. but saying "yeah that sounds good" is far less helpful then pointing out flaws it just maybe makes some one feel better
as for what i was saying
unless you have a valid argument that Exumers do not mine enough and need a buff to yield. the only way to keep balance giving them a drone yield buff would be to nerf the overall yield of Exumers so that the max potential yield stayed the same. none of that is random but i can see how the "please make my stuff better' mentality can make it hard to think critically. And they do use mining drones better than barges they have more mids this lets them add more drone nav comps upping the movement speed of mining drones at the cost of reduced tank.

This is not quite accurate as the 'Augmented' drones will not be receiving the 2%/lvl bonus for mining drone specialization. See Fozzie's original post.

This change will only impact the Mining Drone II items, as the 'Augmented' mining drones, the T2 ice harvesting drones and the 'Excavator' capital mining drones already use their appropriate spec skills.
The Augmented Mining Drones will still be marginally better even at mining drone specialization 5. With a 2% bonus the 33*10% will give T2 mining drones a rate of 36.6m3 at Mining Drone specialization 5 compared to the augmented 37m3. |

Just like combat drones their a set from light etc can't we get the same for mining drones? There are so many types of mining drones now... but only one salvage drone. We need t2 salvage drones before they expand mining drone selection even further, IMO. why do we need t2 salvage drones? if it is just because "there is only one atm" that is not a good reason
I mean, did we need t2 mining drones? or t2 combat or logistics drones?
or for that matter, t2 guns and t2 ships?
... we need t2 salvage drones because:
A) yes, there's only one variety of them, and that is the only drone for which that is true. B) because t1 salvage drones are fairly underpowered and it'd be nice to have another reason to train the skill to L5 besides to make them SLIGHTLY better than terrible at salvaging. C) as others have already said, to better salvage elite/advanced player wrecks and faction NPC wrecks, similar to how the salvager II module works vs. the salvager I module.
Salvaging 5 is a great skill to have if you enjoy salvaging. CCPlz make Salvage Drone Operation 5 just as meaningful a train by introducing Salvage Drone IIs + Salvage Drone Specialization skill. |

Or more precisely, the augmented ones already ARE receiving that bonus per level, so they're not getting anything additional in the March update.
Sum up: All varieties of mining drones except t1 and t2 got the buff in November, all varieties of ice drones except t1 got the buff in November... meaning t2 ice drones used the spec skill in November... but t2 mining drones did NOT use the spec skill in November... because CCP didn't want people in deep null to complain they suddenly couldn't use their t2 mining drones due to a new skillbook they had to have. It's been 4 months now and finally t2 mining drones are going to be treated equal to their new little sisters, t2 ice drones. Huzzah!

And yet we still have general discussion thread about not being able to use the t2 drone "suddenly"

I've been failing at Eve for almost ten years straight...
CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.
