With the new drone survivability nerf inbound, I was wondering: would it be possible to allow reloading of drones from an anchored can, to allow those ... squatting ... in 0.0 with drone boats to have a means of replacing destroyed/abandoned drones they already moved out without having to run screaming back to empire early?
Note I said an anchored can, so you still have to get them out there; this would merely allow the ammo caches to serve as drone caches as well, which only makes sense given the new drones = expendable ammo mentality.

I'd rather see a new kind of tiny structure that burns a bit of fuel and provides services. Refitting, drone reloading, hull/armor/shield/cap recharge, etc. Load it up with strontium or something, anchor it wherever you like, and it's your little base of operations. Should be susceptible to probing and destruction, but can be repackaged down to 1000m3, so you can bring it along in a Blockade Runner (which I still think should be able to ride along with Blackops portals).

I like it :D ..with strontium as fuel it would be more efficient having a POS somewhere, but thats the point. Make a limit of 1 per system and alliance (otherwise somebody could discover such a structure simply by trying to anchor one), maybe add a capacitor to that structure as well and nearby ships can reload their cap with it, but too many ships would dry it out and the fleet needs to wait.

I like the reloading from cans idea, would make ninja ratting easier and since drones are gonna die more it simply makes sense to allow that.

The whole reason I wanted to reload my drones from my GSC was to AVOID playing the pos fuel management game - if I wanted all the excess crap I'd throw a small pos and a ship maint array up. Trying to NOT have to run screaming back to empire. And you, Taris, are proposing a completely different idea for a completely different thread that would be completely useless for my purposes and is thus highly off topic ...

I was referring to the post of Reggie Stoneloader and i am sorry to tell you that this is a "Features and Ideas Discussion" forum which means discuss different ways of the same goal as well...won't write in here another reply so don't worry about your "can"-thread

The problem with allowing it from cans is that you could just anchor a can at a gate and use it to convert your cargo bay into a drone bay, just drag to the can, then drag to your drone bay. It shouldn't be that easy.
