Post Permanent Drones
Do they get Station Tweaking now or not, seems like no one knows.

Did some testing. Engineer has a bonus to tweaking on perma drones. Imperial Tweaking also affects perma drone augs. Station Mastery does nothing.

So in other words, time to implement the 42th nerf to Engineer class?

Station Mastery or tweaking doesn't affect them anymore. The mastery part was moved to Drone Deployment so everyone should have access to full power drones. Imperial Tweaking boosts all possessions, including permanent drones.

I'm not aware of Engineers getting any bonuses to permanet drones. Can you explain, please?

Read Engineer class. .5% tweaking per level. It affects perma drones, my DD22/IT3 character had worse drones after augs than a DD22/IT0/Engi 22 char.

Station Tweaking or Imperial Tweaking might have an effect but I can't tell because I don't know the coding behind it. And it's really not my fucking job to have to test these things myself to figure out how the damn game works.

I remember noticing it as well. Engineer's tweaking bonus indeed applies to drones. I tested with two identical StM30 characters. Only one relevant difference between my characters was one being engi and other being something else.

Yes it is. Liberty server translates as Test server in DevSpeak.

Engineer's tweaking skill gives a bonus to the augs, not the drone itself. That always was that way also before the change.

Star Sonata invented Early Access where people pay to play and test the game for them before Steam Launch.

No, this hasn't changed in the patch either.

Stations don't get a bonus from Engineer augmenter tweaking.

All drones get Imperial Tweaking (but this is moot for temp drones unless they come with augs).

Perma drones get engi bonuses though. Which is weird.

I'll contact Ryan to remove the bonus Engineers get to permanent drones. Thanks for bringing it to my attention :)
