Topic: Turrets, Drones and Guards

I don't know, just something else from EvE.

Perhaps we could be able to place turrets around player owned Outposts on Beta or other areas. 

A new module type that includes specific drones based on the module that will assist in harvesting / mining / support / combat or whatever.

Guards being the same type of this as drones I suppose, but only combat oriented.

Would surely need a bit more extensions and likely a new type of robot class, not to mention a specific robot for logistics already ...

I can only imagine the harassment i will receive over this.  Go on!

Re: Turrets, Drones and Guards

as nice as it sounds... the game currently cannot handle that.

and have you seen what a gamma base was before they temp. disabled it? lots of turrets, each with an individual dumb AI, that cannot even be programmed to shot other AI units without crashing the server wink

Anni I can't think of any nice way to say I wish you'd be less cynical at least about anything.

I totally typed it first, then thought of Zortarg.  Then I rewrote it to what I posed, lol.

I love the idea about drones, it would be great to have other ways to increase output for mining, harvesting and the support bot ideas! 

How do you see the drones for combat operating?
