Ok, so it's no secret I don't play EvE. However something bugs me about all those kill board posts. Multi billion ISK ships, and the cheapest parts in their entire cargo everytime? A bunch of drones. Drones seemed pretty damn cool when I played the trial. I have also heard from people that they're pretty good in every aspect. There are however no officer drones or anything special like that. So how does this relate to Dust?
PvE in Dust will be focusing heavily on rogue drones. I'd imagine there are also drone production facilities as a form of planetary interaction? So, I propose Dust have the ability to offer EvE players new forms of drone, or atleast variants of the existing types.
I'll start with obvious, factional drones, with different combat stats. Various mining drones. Perhaps even missile drones.
Next CCP could expand the EWAR area of drones and repairs, shield boosters with more variation.
Finally add Cyno drones
You may now QQ about cyno drones :D |

More the materials requirement that is exclusive to Dust. EvE players could employ groups of Mercs to run PvE missions at a high rate for all "unique" drone part requirements.
EvE players would be able to manufacture them, provided that didn't result in the Dust production obviously costing more due to needing space minerals. Hisec only mineral reqs to begin with IMHO. |

So to try and get a few more ideas, how about a planetary bombardment drone? It'd mean almost any ship (including industrials) would be able to provide support to districts. It'd also allow ships with one of these drone to concentrate on space combat a little more, while their drones support the ground. Different racial drones could cause different strikes i.E. EM/explosive/thermal.
So come on EvE players, what kind of super cool drones would make your day? Wish list away!
I'm amazed no-one has said "omg cyno drone would be super broken!!" which is rather disturbing :P |

@Reav
That's great news. CCP telepathy ftw.
@Octavian
So, if Dusters were able to produce high end hobgoblins ect, that would be a viable, and (fairly) lucrative industry? Obviously, if there are already higher level drones than I know of, they shouldn't be made obsolete by new Dust built drones.
What about salvage drones which can target a district too? Or recon/intel drones? I have no idea how those areas of EvE work, but a combination of a salvage drone + orbital bombardment drone would make for some nice support for us Dusters. |
