Regarding Fighter Drones

Post by Tomonor »

Not sure if it's too late to suggest things by now (or if this is exactly how ES thought it out), but here it goes.


What if ships could launch a certain amount of Fighter drones. There would be an independent tech tree (or software version, not sure how X4 will roll with this) that lets you upgrade your ship's computer on how many drones it can command/control.

Now, there still would be a maximum number a certain class of ship can launch. S ships for example could only launch 2 drones maximum. M ships, about 5. You get the idea.

Some of the details, such as how the numbers are worked out, are different, but the result is pretty similar to how it would be with the system you've described. :)
