Drones

netburnr

How about adding "drones" to Jumpgate Evolution?

I would picture at least a couple of uses for them. Perhaps they would be missile based, I'm not sure.

Scout Drone. You can launch a Scout drone into a gate, and it will jump through and scan the next sector giving you information of fleet gathering, gate camps, etc.

Healing Drone. You can carry a drone that is capible of "beaming" power to your shield, helping to reinforce it. Naturally these would be a 1 shot kill type of thing, and probably have a time limit like missiles currently do. I'm thinking short term backup in case your bomber gets into the thick of it and can't get out quickly....that type of thing.

Perhaps Combat Drones for haulers. Kind of like a little mini-sentry. Not uber by any means, but annoying enough the attacker has to spend a bit of time taking care of the "defenses"

I dunno, maybe I'll think of more.

i like the scout and healing drones ( for unarmed civ ships only ) idea.

ill explain why later ( im at work right now and my boss is looking at me kinda funny )

Isn't that what the AI escorts would be for? I'm not too sure I really like having to use either modex or missile slots for the drone idea. I'd rather hire AI escorts when I'm hauling or depend on Combat patrols while mining.

too EVE-esque.
too many time i had a droner squish me like an annoying bug.
but then again, they _were_ t2 drones....

eve stole half of jumpgate...arnt we allowed to steal back?

EvE may have had some Jumpgate people come to it, but it in no way stole Jumpgate players.

I had already quit Jumpgate when I played the first couple of months of EvE. It sucked and I quit. I didn't go back to Jumpgate not because EvE took me away, it was because everyone else had already left. And that still stands true today.

The only drone I ever liked the idea off was like the one you used to have in Elite, drop it off on a moon and then come back to it the next day and it was full.

Talking of which will there be moon mining in Jumpgate Evolution?, not stealing that one from Eve and It was done way back in Elite

Matt

I meant EvE stole concepts from Jumpgate, not players :P
