whats funny at times when drones are left and then NPC(Non player controled drones come some know as rats.. start shooting at them and well you happen to wander in and use your drones on the rats. now at the same time scooping the other drones and repair later. Some people have lost Tech 2 medium and large and those are great to use or to sell. It happens alot and if yor lucky, and no when they are left alone you now own them the other person looses out. good ISK fining not top but helpful :)
no u can still scoop drones either to your cargohold or drone bay and i know this trick dosent work anymoar because theres always more or equal drone bay as there is bandwith
you can scoop to drone bay, just not by right click. the overview has a button that says: "Scoop to dronebay" when the rightclick says: "Scoop to cargo"
no....it isent its a really REALLY old trick that dosent work anymore the only problem with such a thing is you cant actually warp anywere once there out or you would leeve them all so not very effective on hte battlefield
ok, well this must of been befoe drone bandwith was installed; that and you do realize that ANYONE else can scoop those drones up as well right? AND those drones are kind of just sitting targets, one smartbomb could destroy your "infinite drone bay" and all the time wasted creating it, lmao
there are actually several strategies that include transporting with one ship and using with another, but none of them work in PvP. for missions though, it's great to get in with an industrial ship, jettison a bunch of cap booster charges, get out, and come back with your armor rep or shield boost tanking battleship
Yes, you will be banned for explaining how to use an exploit that is deemed an exploit by a GM. Prior to making the movie, I filed a petition that described the process and requested a ruling on whether it was an exploit or not. The GM that responded said that it was not considered an exploit and that I was free to use it or talk about it to whoever I wished.
With the addition of drone bandwidth in Trinity, this movie is more for historical interest than practical use.
My first suspicion was that this was an exploit. I filed a petition asking whether it was or not, and the GM responding stated that abandoning and relaunching drones like this was too awkward to use in actual combat, so it was not consider an exploit. So there you are. Use it all you want!
song?

If you just let some drones lie there everyone can pick up your drones. And do whatever they want with them. And it's not stealing!

It would be smarter to put other drones in cargohull, jettison them and then, when you free your drone bay transfer them to drone bay.
Saves a trip or 2 at least.

Cool, though it seems very ineffective, considering someone is liable to steal your drones before you get back, or NPCs will blow them up.
