I expect it be fucking fully charged, I don't charge a drone just to find out it has no shields when I deploy it mmk?

where is the issue, just scoop and redeploy it

The way that the shields work is different, otherwise it would be way too easy to get your drones' shields up. They charge shields many times faster while in your hull I believe and energy charging has nothing to do with shields, only energy, the same way it was in c1 (with deploy energy not increasing drone shields)

Otherwise as you saw your drone dying you could scoop and re-deploy instead of having to heal it, which makes drones even harder to kill than they already are.

As it was explained in some patch awhile ago the code automatically deploys the drone with the most shields out of the bunch, so if you have 3 AID with shields at 10% 20% and 40% at time of 1 finished charging, the one with 40% will always be deployed.

I saw somewhere that all drones heal in your ship's hull in 60 seconds, but I have yet to confirm this. But makes sense.

Drones get +100% or +200% regen while in the hull; no drones have stop shields.

Engineer transfer stations do, 1 shield regen/sec

I don't think the dev that added those drones was an engineer main.

This statement is false, the first deployed drone would have far more then 40% shield and the others would have none

No.

Have you even tested this?

For years it has been unchanged you're completely wrong. Go get a drone down to 40% shields that has a very low charge time and re-deploy it. It'll have barely more than 40% shields. Because shields do not instantly recharge that would be broken.

AND why would the other drones have 0% shields that makes no effing sense

The drones do not "add" their shields up that is also broken, and can be easily disproven by testing, but I don't need to do that because i've been using drones for longer than you've been alive

I was trying to say if you have 2 acme at 40% and sccop both then deploy 1 before the shield charged over 20% the otherone will be deployed whit 0 shield +the shield it charged singe last acme was deployed

That's really not right I'm sorry, but if you're absolutely convinced upload a video and i'll admit you're right. But I've never seen that ever.

To formulate it positive:

"I want - beside the energy status bar - a drone shield status bar below the energy bar on the Hotkey button bar."²

²= Assuming the drones are on the ship equipped and in item form charging. Assuming the drones are placed as a Hotkey onto the hotkey button bar on top of the screen.

"It also would be helpfull to put the explanation of this into the Tutorial helper and emphasis the difference between energy and shield charging as it may confuse new or inexperienced players."

A reasonable post, I agree to this
