Has anybody else tried using these modules? Ill have to say atleast from a Dropship perspective i really think the range needs to be increased and possibly a different form of targeting. I had to almost hump the other dropship i was trying to repair and as for remote repairing a land vehicle as was suggested in a vid by CCP id have to nosedive almost right onto the tank to target it and then hover no more then what feels like 10 feet above ground to keep him locked.
i think remote reppers could be incredibly effective but seems like the implementation needs work. Feel free to post your experience with them and let me know how you feel about them in the current state |

oh yes they are insane effective. I use them on my Limbus or on my Sagaris to support surya drivers. When they get constant damage you will earn tons of points. |

I think I fought you earlier today / last night. Pretty sure I got you at least once, but you drove like a madman and it was definitely challenging fun to track you down. I don't recall seeing any other Limbus before. Nice job doing something different. |

The remote rep targeting system is just horrible in any vehicle really.
Most recently though I managed to lock onto the MCC with my remote rep and it was hilarious seeing the whole MCC with the repair effect on it. I was using a prometheus to pull this off.
It needs serious improvement. Just removing the auto center camera would be really great. It should only start to auto center after you're moving again.
Also Rhadiem, I think that was me. I remember seeing your name several times in the games I was using my Limbus tonight. |

Were you on my team as a dropship that was hovering by the MCC for several minutes also? I was AV sniping and saw this dropship doing "nothing" but hovering by the MCC for a long while. I kept trying to lock on it and kill it, but it was friendly. Were you remote repping it?
Come to think of it, it had the repair effect, which I hadn't seen before either.. haha, I never put the two together. :) Did it work? And did you get any points for it? |

Plus 25's constantly after the shield went down but it didn't seem like I was able to make any kind of positive increase to it's armor. The remote reps were just too weak.
I tried putting on purely power grid upgrades to try and barely get a heavy remote rep on my drop ship but it wouldn't work. |

Never got a chance to try the remote shield boosters. If I get the chance to I'll try it out next weekend. |

This is what i was getting at. I also feel like dropships should have a (slightly) longer lock range as well. I can agree possibly that for ground vehicles the range is sufficient but i dont think it would be game breaking to extend the target range on dropships for remote repairs.
A simple fix would be to give the logi dropship a bonus to RR(remote repair) say x1.5 or x2. That way they could keep the target distance the same for ground vehicles w.out changing much on the actual module just give the ship a bonus.
It may be of note that when i tried my RR runs i slapped it onto a militia dropship not a logistics ship. Its possible that the logistic dropships may allready have a bonus to the targeting that im unaware of, but if they dont then i think that the range is a bit limited for air bound ships |

hmm, a Gallente ship would give you the most lows to boost with.. wish I had tried that, but I suspect shield repping would be more effective since that's the first to go down, and it's a shield tanked vehicle. (at least the one we know is)
But yeah, it surely has massive everything.. but if it helps, and gives points.. it would be interesting. You certainly were easy to shoot down if you were hostile. :) |

Haha yeah I'm way wide open for anyone with a swarm or proto to whip me out of the sky. If I weren't just messing around I'd try to armor tank my prometheus with a remote rep.
I'd love a range increase on the dropship.
Tank could also use a minor range boost since the beam emits from the center and a tank is already so large. |

I use a Prometheus. Would I be able to equip a Heavy Armor Repper if I had the powergrid prototype upgrades? |

I filled mine with just pure Local Powergrid Upgrades(15%) and only got up to about 340 available PG. Not even close to the lowest PG heavy remote repair. |
