Community Poll: Accept drone bays proposal with current issues?

[Greylock]

Will it be possible to have more than 1 drone? Would make sense at least 2 or flexible based on the carryer size or bays .

For now carriers will have 1 drone. It is mostly up to server load if everything goes well, we can add more drones.

If it comes to no more than 1 drone per carrier, what is going to happen with the rest of the docking bays, players being able to dock? If so, could one/both be available to all ships that have a docking bay slot? I can see having drones on say, the Mastodon being very useful for countering small pirate ships, such as bombers, since it only has one turret slot that it totally useless.

It's a one-shot Nova(?) drone to counter other big ships.

If it ends up being a Nightmare drone, I will laugh my ass off.

So which slot will the drone bays be on? Heavy or normal? I believe they are on heavy but I am unsure. Which still brings up a problem of if only 1 drone is allowed, will there end up being a docking bay for gunboats for ships that have multiple heavy carrier slots? Just a thought that popped into my mind.

I believe that ships which come with Drone Bays standard will have a special slot implemented for Drone Bays. The Liberty Assault Carrier has already received said slot, in preparation for the plugin.

You can mount docking bays and drone bays

single use torpedo bomber drone using Hurricane torpedo effects.Drone Missile/Torpedo launchers are same as capital missile/torps

Drone torps are modified, they do a lot more damage than standard bomber weapons

We already added Drone Bay slot to Liberty Carrier, its taking normal docking module slot right now. Carrier rework is not implemented yet so it may change or drone bay may take 1 slot from docking module slots.
