Came up with this idea yesterday and actually think it's a really good idea.

This drone will increase your energy capacity with a certain amount or a certain %. Of course, this drone still consumes energy over time when used on the planet surface. This energy consumption will be exactly the same as all the other drones.

I have multiple idea's about how this actually works in-game and will post them here:
- The drone will just increase your energy capacity. This means that you can fill up while the drone is active and deactivate it when you are done filling up and use an other drone. That way the drone can't rank up though.
- The extra energy capacity is in the drone itself. This means that you store the energy in the drone when it's active and can use it when it's active as well. The energy capacity of your ship will still be the same. Whenever the drone is inactive, you can't use the stored energy OR the stored energy will be lost (One of the 2 here). The energy is lost because the drone can't operate/control the energy chamber when it's inactive, which causes the energy to become unstable. To prevent the energy of becoming unstable, the drone ejects the energy whenever somebody deactivates it.

So, what's your opinion about this?

Whatever

idea is good but SS would not implement it for single reason - memberships. want more energy? buy membership and you automatically have more by spending less :p

Well i have a better idea, but it's kind of similar, lets say the drone can be called Energy Amplifier Drone E-101 , and what it can do is; amplify the amount of an energy ball that we collect by 10%, 15% or even 25% or whatever the developers find balanced or worthwhile... We all know that high level players and even low level players that don't have enough money to pay for membership could find this drone very useful... we all know for example that when you go in Vega system sometimes is very boring if u don't have membership, and for example if you are on a gold bp hunt, you can't enjoy yourself, cause every 10 min or 15 min you have to go recharge and it takes about 5 min or more for a level 85 to recharge fully on Vega with those tiny energy orbs/balls, and you have to go to another higher system to refuel faster, and that breaks the deal, since you have to wait for travel and if you don't, have to pay energy :confused: .... and that's where this energy drone (Energy Amplifier Drone E-101...nice name is it not ? ^^ ) can come in, it increase the energy amount of energy orbs just in the same way as the PLUS refiner drone increase the amount of cry you collect :mrorange: hope you understand my idea ;)
