Hello, my name is Artem. I want to ask you, do you bring so many innovations to the game, but for some reason you don’t fix your old items. For example, the drawings that appear in the drone region. Integrated drones make no sense to produce, they are unprofitable in terms of raw materials. There is no point in selling the drawings, no one will buy them in production, they will not bring money. But in anomalies, they are so likely to fall out that they can be considered almost the main income. Why don’t you make raw materials for production at a lower price or change the characteristics of drones so that they become interesting to the player and it makes sense to sell them. Right now, at the moment, I’m just throwing out these blueprints, I can’t sell them to anyone and I can’t produce them myself.
Integrated drones are like improved T1 drones for someone who cannot use T2 yet and wants to pay more for better performance.
I’ve never used them. I either use T2 drones if I can use those, T1 if I want to be cheap or Faction drones if I cannot use T2 but want to pay more, as faction drones are another step above integrated drones in performance.
I guess integrated drones could be nice if you want a slightly different damage profile, which both integrated and ‘augmented’ drones, the T2 upgrade, have.
There are simply too many drone types for every type to have a use and for every type to have a big market.
This means some types aren’t used as much.
Would you prefer if the integrated drones and their blueprints were deleted from the game? And that instead of one of these less-useful blueprints you got no loot at all?
And why would I need an item in the game that I can’t sell or use myself, since it costs almost the same amount of resources as when selling? Why would I need such an item? And if it’s not in the items that fall out, it means that I’ll get other items, doesn’t that work?
Why can you not use it yourself?
You cannot fight with minerals, but if you turn it into drones worth the same amount as the input materials you can now use it to fight rats and earn bounties.
Why do you assume other loot will go uo if these items are removed?
I have opened plenty of cans while exploring that simply have nothing in it. Some have a blueprint, which I also don’t use. Removing the blueprints as loot just means more empty cans.
Except that there is zero incentive to do that. Faction drones are better and don’t need t2 skills either. And they are mostly cheaper.
Integrated drones really can just be deleted with their current production cost, they need to be significantly cheaper to have any sense.
I can imagine only one scenario where they would be useful. Nullsec corp unable to bring stuff from empire thus having to rely on self-crafted gear and player of this corp that can’t use tech2 drones yet. But that is quite a theorycraft.
You can sell the BPCs via Contracts, I always buy them from there…
Sure but there’s like a lot of pointless stuff in game that could be removed but are still in the game. Like have you ever used the small focused anode particle stream I while fitting
