I would like to see a new command for drones that would allow a pilot to instruct his/her drones to orbit a "target" without actually engaging it in combat. That would make it quicker to engage in combat if it becomes neccessary, It could also be used to trick a pilot into firing on me at an inappropriate time/place. |

I R CONFUZE.
For some reason I get it. But I dont.
It's potentially possible... but really? what use is it? Is there a use for this? 0.0? Might as well just attack. lowsec? might as well just attack. highsec? might as well just attack... if not just scare them off. |

could be useful for dealing with can flippers or other types of games in high sec,
but if we were to get new drone commands i'd rather get a "launch undamaged drones" command. |

I agree with this. There have been a few times I've wanted my drones to go to a certain ship, whether to be near an opponent if he makes an aggressive move or to fly toward the enemy that's out of range so they'll be able to attack quicker when he gets in range. Approach would be a good term, but orbit is also acceptable.
Supported. |

Why should that be a command? It should be the default behaviour. |

Or, mmaybe to keep drones close to a buddy without engaging any hostiles until you say so. If you set them to support they'll engage as soon as something agresses. In some cases you might not want that. /Support |

They already have something like this - the assist and guard commands. Still, I support this. |

Not a bad idea per se. I can see this come in handy in many situations.
However (and I dunno if this is a positive or negative in the end), we'd see more people fitting smartbomb(s) - effectively countering the usability of such a command.
I would like to see smartbombs used more, so if for no other reason, the OP gets my support

wait, what, you actually have or suppose the OP has problems in dealing with NPCs? trolls are fun, but trolling the untrollable equals failing at failing (FaF™ - analogous only to FoF missiles). In case you are serious; do you think you actually kill NPCs? Do they not respawn? Or is it beyond your comprehension that drones can engage in PvP combat, too. Bashing The Leak (=vuoto in Finnish) aside, still supporting the OP as much as in my previous post |
