OP I liked reading your post, it was interesting and well written. Community is what makes a MMO work yes. One question… why have you not got a real name but a system renamed one? I’m just curious. I expect it was rude xD ---

I have no idea. When I signed up it was with this name the forum gave me. So it might be on one of my older accounts I had with same email. As I switch over to steam. ---

Drones need a firm hand to use properly, they can split up, and even disengage from a target and attack something else (against trig ships in the abyss I have noticed this bad behavior) You need to get your shortcuts sorted out like - Alt X - engage target Alt C - Return to drone Bay Alt O - Return and orbit Many a time I have had to spam Alt X every 5 secs to keep the little buggers from wandering off to attack a new Triglavian target. ---
