Thats where you're wrong. You don't need to carry every single drone for every single situation. Be generic, and tell your teammates to use specialized equipment.

You have teammates, right?

See what bugges me about it is like he said in a DG you dont know whats coming next it could be full of Picks or it could be the boss in either case, and being the DM that I am, I genraly have any where from 3-7 sets of drones on me ranging from Acmes to AI's and its not exactly a warm feeling when you only have one or two forms of DPS to pick from which is why they should just go back to the old system

Next dg level, I pop my PWI and deploy a wall of AID's backed by a bubble, healing the bubble myself when needed. I switch out AID's as required if I need more shields or a different drone, like one of my BFD's.

Also, I have yet to see any drone more effective than an AID. Ever wonder why they're 2b a pop?

Because every droner has a PWI and AiDs.

Every droner should get one. It is very useful, almost too useful.

Should doesn't mean can. Put it back to the old way or change the number you can have charged. 12 is not nearly enough.

Adv Blocker and OBA should work in place of PWI there. There are also some cheap warp devices that could get you moving away from the crowd. How long does it take to charge a few drones, anyway?

The limit is exactly right on non-droner or lowbie. Just make the amount increase with DM.

Why should we have to 'deal' with this? It's not for balance, it's just annoying. I believe my suggestion would solve all the problems involved.

Double....
24 slots for DM... reason is obvious...
and drone stasis.... or something like it.
How the FUCK is it fair that NO OTHER CLASS can lose gear anymore, but a DM can lose 12bil worth of drones.
This, my friends, is why you run a beta test.....
Not a fake one with some level 100's flying around... a REAL one with REAL characters at REAL playable levels to find REAL issues, and develop REAL fixes.
and NOT force it on your customers like them and their money dont mean shit.

Im sorry, and you think this temp uni is for the dev team's amusement?

Get a grip on reality my friend. This IS the beta test!

I am MCing fine, im DGing great, I have no lag, and i have done all the ubers except oly, and ive made 15b just from playing the past few days on SS2. Every time I see something thats wrong, they fix it. We started this uni with no lock outs, so free loot. AND we arn't paying for this week. AND there is no consequence of dying this uni. What the fuck more could you want?
