В общем и целом - если у кого будет время - помогите подготовить текст для поста на офф
Eng.
Bla-Bla-Bla
When I was read topic on wiki I was understand, what main weapon off gallente - its the drones.
...Federation once relied almost entirely on drone fleets to defend its beliefs and borders
MB time 4 reconstruct drones are comming?
I dont remember 4 some updates 2 drones (2-3 years), except nerf of some drone-ships like cut bandwidth or drone bay.
In this time we was see lot of changes in world of New Edem, there was an "interesting" artillery, which has become a panacea for big fleet fight (arti abadon =_+), there was an t3 ships (yo 2 the proteus in role of nerdoishar),
there was an incursions, PI, 3D charachers, wormholes, slippers, dramiel steel insane and now have a diagnosis - overPower and waiting for treatment in the form of nerf, Unnameable was take this name and spawn a lot of megabytes of hateposts (butthurt if you want) and lot of mems (mb a lot of more), there was an unscan ships and was going 2 dramiel in room of nerf, subsystem 4 t3 ships, witch making them unstoptble 4 bubbles, tears were shed thousands Gallente about hybrids... and what about drones? Nothing.
What is offered?
1) Drones do indeed main weapon!
What are the main instruments of murder in the Eve?
Projectiles, rockets and lasers (no, I accidentally missed the hybrids). For each type of weapon has a special module 4 low slot, which increases damage and RoF (heat sync 4 lazor, gyro stabs 4 proj, ballistic control 4 launchers).
For each type of weapon has a rigs which increases damage and RoF.
There is, also, implants, which increases damage and RoF. Also boosters (drugs) witch increases fighting qualities of weapons.
What is to blame for the drones? They also "the main weapon Gallente"!
Propose to introduce:
- rigs which increases damage and RoF (not 4 fighters and fighter bombers)
- special module 4 low slot, which increases damage and RoF (not 4 fighters and fighter bombers) (it's like gyrostabs 4 proj)
- boosters (drugs) witch increases fighting qualities of weapons (not 4 fighters and fighter bombers)
- implants, which increases damage and RoF, and lot more, all like 4 "main weapon" (not 4 fighters and fighter bombers)
- Overheat the drones! Give the possibility to include overheating. Focus on the guns of this class. Take into account the skill of thermodynamics. If the drone "burned out" - he will try to crawl without the MWD (MWD also heated) to the ship without being able to shoot. Repair as well as a module only if damaged less than 100% for complete combustion - in drone-service to the station!
Thus changes the meaning of the phrase drone user from "fanatic" in the direction of "drone user".
2) Drones4all!
You disgusted by the Gallente ships, but in my heart you love to drone? We'll help you!
Propose to introduce a number of modules to control the drones.
The essence of the module - +1 module +1 drone in Space +N m in drone bay +N m bandwidth -1 high slot and -PG, -CPU.
where N - equal 5, 10, 25 for 3 class of ship size, namely - frig-destr, crus-BC, BS.
This module should consume as much CPU and PG as the gun this class (can not told how much, it's will be hard job ).
The ideology is that - remove the gun - get a drone.
OverPower should not be, because any dominix will lose 5 hi-slots, it's mean what he can not 2 be neytroDomi, RRDomi, BlasterDomi, just 5 passive modules.
btw : Why module is passive? It will give possibility 2 drone use 4 ships witch have not any bandwidth and drone bay.
The same DomI will lose its bonus to hybrids (lol), and bonus 2 +10% damage from drones can not make it overPower.
3) Science does not stand still or stop crying Gallente scientists on hybrids!
Modules on drones for the most part limited to T1 version, or fraction. Why so?
Propose to introduce a module version t2
- Drone Link Augmentor
- Drone Navigation Computer
- Omnidirectional Tracking Link
- EW drones (can not understand why we have not it yet )
Change subsystem 4 proteus - make possible construct the t3 ishtar!
Proteus Offensive - Drone Synthesis Projector - add 25m of bandwidth! Instead, take a gun. It's the t3 ship of Gallente or what?
So, if we will use 2 subsystem 4 drones - we will take something like t3 ishtar
5) Drones need BRAINS!!!
More options are good and different, namely:
- Setting the preferred target - for example - I want that would be in combat drones fired at the ships as primary orly running light drones want them to kill interceptor. (I've got two kills of rookie ships, followed by chasing my drones, as I relaxed in permajamm)
- Setting - emergency return - the drone taking damage to a custom level (70% structure, 30% armor, 10% of the shield, as it will please the host drone) and goes to the drone bay
- Allow the drones to repair his ship-owner, because it's logical!
- Allow the drones to protect ship-owner! Drone - there is an answer to the Gallente on jamm technology of Caldari, as a consequence, it is logical to use the following - I have a problem, let drones, gave the order to protect me - they hit those kicks me.
- Drones can help you - allow assists drones 2 yourself - shooting to primarI - drones will do it 2!
At last - I'm was open this topic on forum of Russian community and was take support 4 this theme. We have a lack of understanding associated with the precise figures.
I will wright it here
In our discus we was speaking about Dominix. In my proposes i was told about +1 drone module, modules 4 damage increase and rigs + implants i don't speaking about precise figures, but in our discus we was use modules-prototypes.
Max. increase of damage 4 turrets looking like 200% (this is an empirical figure, i was see damage from armageddon in EFT from mega pulse laser (450 DPS), and this armageddon with 2 imps (+5% damage, +5% RoF), +2 rigs (+10% damage, +10% RoF) equal 1045 DPS (all without drones, with drones we have 1361 DPS)),
in case of Dominix it's will be looking like - 475 DPS from 5 ogres II, if we will use +1 drone module - it will be 10 orges II and 950 DPS, if we will install all modules 4 damage - we will take something like 1900 DPS Gallente - The Kings Melee!!!111 All right - it's a joke
In case of sentry Dominix - it's will be looking like 450 DPS base, 900 DPS from 10 drones, and 1800 DPS with setup "all in damage", lot 2.
I was told on Russian forum about this argument - smart guys from CCP will make it more realistic!
But we have to remember what drones have many differences with other weapons, i will wright it here 2 people, who scared by my idea of drone boost:
- drones are mortal
- Drones have to get to target
- Drones need a lot of med-slots (sentry without 3 Omnidirectional Tracking Link are unuseful)
- You can not take a huge cloud of drones
- Drones cry from the smart bomb of scorpion
- Drones are not catching up with many targets (hurri on MWD more faster them drones, and something like vagabond will be beat in hysterics and cry looking at orges speed)
- Drones are often left on the battlefield, because if you will wait them - you can loose your ship
The projectiles, lasers, rockets have all this problem? Can kill the cannon? Not fit all types of ammunition in the cargo? Guns are tied to the place? Lasers drop them and break the lens of smart bombs? We have to wait until the return to the rocket in cargo, or we will leave our launchers on battlefield?
