I think they will use an Equipment slot so they can be deployed like they are in EVE. I dont think they will use HIGH/LOW slots because that means they will always be active, and if they are dropped like vehicles then it would be kind of weird to have a tiny drone being dropped from a dropship.

Drone 'pets' like in EVE are not coming to Dust for the foreseeable future, as it adds too many balance issues (Though I think CCP could stand to look at Battlefield 2142 to learn how to do this)

The drones they're adding to DUST are Rogue drones and are the reason AI is banned in new Eden. They're self aware, self replicating machines who want to destroy all life. Including you. They will be an enemy or THE enemies on the PvE wave based game mode coming soon.

They will have multiple sizes all the way up to MCC size and larger. EVE ships have to deal with em up to battleship size plenty.

That is a rogue drone and you'll be shooting those things many many times in months to come.

I would guess that the resist/damage profiles against them will be fundamentally different. Or maybe each type of drone will have a different weak spot so that you have to lure them one direction and then have somebody flank them from behind. I know its all a long way away, but i'm just day dreaming.

You would have to essentially be able to track and render 2-3x as many objects on the field for them. I think they'd be too graphically intensive. Yeah the rogue drones...

Hmm I am thinking of Drones as a tool for battle not a semiliving? entity. Killing them should be enough regardless.
