Edited by: Janine Ozawa on 13/07/2008 02:39:37 I was tooling with an arbitrator in EFT, and the ship's drone-related bonuses don't apply to logistic drones? EFT will only give me the standard amount, and bonuses don't seem to come into effect.

Well, yes and no. While the ship descriptions leave, let's say, something to be desired, they at least strongly imply that they're talking about only combat and mining drones. I have no idea whether they actually apply the hp bonus to drones that don't mine or deal damage, but I do think that was the idea.
Away from a competent computer right now, so I can't hop ingame and check. Someone should, though. Which would be stupid and tedious, which I assume is why EFT makes the assumptions it does and hasn't really bothered.
Now, as for some justification for skill bonuses not doing anything to logistics and/or ewar drones? One of the most valued things about drone ships is their versatility. And yes, that's great, but just how versatile do you want to make them? It might get to be a bit much if, for instance, ship skills, DI, etc started to apply to them.

Im rather sure that no drone damage skills also affect logstics drones (drone interfacing for instance)

For some reason, no ship actually of any origin makes use of the logistic drones. Not even the Gallente and this is because the devs lost a bet on the popularity of BoB and some other one involving the Black ops ships and one of the things they were forced to do was release the logistic drones. In a fit of rebellion against their true masters, they have chosen to release them but make them so crappy as to make their use insane. It is often quicker and more respected to just self destruct your ship full of faction gear then try to make use of the "large energy neut drone" or any of the "target painter drones" in public combat. --------------------------------------------- "There have always been ghosts in the machine . . . random segments of code that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols.

Some ships do get a bonus to these types of drones, although I do think that all drone ships should get bonuses that apply to all drones, but iin practice it doesn't happen.

Correction, utility drones. Not the repair drones. My fault. Yes, repair drones are given love. Utility drones are not used except for small ecm. Sorry, hope you didnt sell the farm on that one. --------------------------------------------- "There have always been ghosts in the machine . . . random segments of code that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols.
