So much arrogance and supermassive egos in here… WHY?? Its like “look i have everything, but i dont want you to get here where i am so please have a harder life (and dont get so far so you could challenge my superiority)”. *snif snif* i smell fear… insecurity…
+1 to idea. Its has is downsides, if its in missiles slot, you have no missiles in open space.
Gathering the resources in t5s can get bit tricky… cant imagine how it is for low ranked players. So why the frikken hell would somebody wanna go and cripple their advancement even more. Getting materials is grindy as phuck already.
I would still prefer droping at gate drones, missiles are too usefull… but it would sure help out low rankers.
Because the 10s suppose to be dangerous, death should have repercussions, there should be a reas to not fly alone, there should be a reason to pvp, higher risk higher rewards type of things, as of now it is a mindless and pintless back and forth, and even now with kindergarten conditions, people get mad when they get killed in 10s.
And i have never farmed open space, i dont see how it is crippling of other getting on “my lvl”

Guy either you don’t have understand it or ignore it.
The 10s are nothing.(if you refer to the delivering to the drone)
This is NOT the problem.
The problem is: You need 30s+(using chickentackler) to go to the drone - just if it were in your sector. Time that is wasted and not really helping anyone.
The problem is: You need to cross several enemy groups while doing it. Useful? Sorry, but if you aren’t flying a chickentackler yourself or something close to it, you can’t collect the loot you want to claim.
Problem is: Finding a drone. While there are maps around for drone locations, again not every sector have them, nor are they currently available(someone could have used it and it is on cooldown yet).
All those points aren’t useful!
So stating yourself not even having farmed in OS, that you have no clue what you are talking about. Especially for those, that don’t use premiumship+cargoGS-items. It’s wasted lifetime for me to fly every 5 items to the drone. Having an option(even with such a drawback like having no missiles) is okay. Not every ship need it(can assume frigates don’t use missiles that often compared to fighter/inties) as hitting with them is either difficult or not needed.
Destroyers should have more cargo slots by default and an increased scanning and collection range.
As for normal ships, in Open Space you have only 1 viable option. Fly a fast, self-regenerative 700m/s Recon or take a Tackler with 15 or 8 second cloak.
Destroyers should have this feature by default in Open Space:
New scanning and collection range: 900-1200m (based on rank?)
Destroyer loot spots: 12 or 16 (based on rank?)
Destroyers already have the largest cargo bay in the game and also have a pickup range of 900m. Frigates have a pickup range of 425 now.
My procyon have 12 cargo space, so this isn’t a problem.
But the freaking travel time to a drone is.
Same with just mineral scanning inties/fighter.
Together with all the trash loot you can collect…
Without the feedback of the nonsense of 300m range to collect with a destroyer(that is itself 300m long…) was a pain.
