General Class 5 Universal Drone

I propose to make a universal drone of the 5th class. But what exactly on it drones and their characteristics we will choose ourselves and it will be done by any engineer (or a new engineer).
 
That would make the C7 obsolete though. No one uses all the functions of the C7 at the same time, you equip it when you need a different controller combination than what the C3s can provide. This is by design and the C7 slot requirement is the intended trade-off.

Only 6 types of ships have slot 7, didn't you know that ?
Clipper, Anaconda, Corvette, T10, Cutter, T9

And then I don't need ALL drones, I only want 2 kinds of drone but consuming less power. Why can't the engineer build me one in exchange for the materials I need?

In that case the obvious answer is to combine two C1/C3 controllers per your needs.


Look, I'm not trying to rain on your parade - just pointing out that the suggestion for new controller types simply boils down to getting more for less. In this case less internal space, less power, less mass etc. And actually... I'm not against that - for example I hate it that the universal controller comes with 125/140T for what could essentially be a chip.

But I'd prefer this problem to be addressed as a whole, maybe with an entire limpet controller revamp. Rather than a BiS module that would make older modules garbage to be swept under the rug.

Which is the natural power creep that all players desire. Which is why they should never be listened to.

I don't quite understand from which words you concluded that it would be so ? I played some TES a long time ago, I don't remember the exact version. There, when you reach the level of a mage (in the elite it is the discovery of a special engineer) you can invent your own magic. But there was well thought out balance. If I want it to hurt, then it will eat up a lot of mana.

So I wrote and here you open this engineer and modification to drones must collect a VERY large amount of all sorts of materials and cost it will be very expensive.
And in addition there will be a balance if you make the modification better existing it will weigh more and eat more. BALANCE.

Why do you think that the droid builder will be without balance?
Where did I say that?
