Post Captian Bling Drone ??
Captian Bling Drone
Is this a joke??

I write a little, but this is a must.

Can't be scooped???? WTF
Lifespawn: 25 min
Wep: Kikale Mzungu Warfare (but i see second weapon deals 1 damage)
Low energy and shield - did not check - i got angry.
Cost of construction = :shock: !@#$%^&*
If someone is checking??
Or thrown to annoy people ??
I think i need to go back to the EVE Online, and again a few years back to SS maybe something to improve.
And last question :
If this drone will be returned and are you going to improve?

The unscoopable temporary drones ignore your temporary drone count. I can have 7 Chids out and 7 more Captain Bling drones, plus superitem drones. Use them when you need to dig into a single galaxy with your friends...like...I don't know...a big nasty boss?

It was done by Markoz in light of Prawn nerf. A lot of people are going to stop building Prawns and the Pieces will start to accumulate. This is great for anyone who wants the Prawn for the qualities it has over alternative ships, but regardless, the Pieces will build up over time.

Build cost seem a little extreme tbh. But it's also yet that most people should be swimming in prawn pieces pretty soon.

If it's really that bad I'm sure Markoz won't mind having another look at it.

The Heavy Kidd drones are even more of a joke. They take the same stuff to build, have no shield regen and the t22 engi superitem drone heals just as much as all six. (Also unscoopable)

Captain Bling drone does a swifty type of tweak when below 25% shield bank, another with energy regen at 25% energy bank. With constant energy regen tweaks throughout its lifespan. Captain bling drone also pulls its enemy towards it and is very powerful (stronger than a tractor as its a inverse mass driver weapon so anti-grav tweaks are not effective).

Heavy Kidd Drone does about 2x shield regen boosts at below 75% shield bank // 2x shield regen again below 25% shield bank. Through out its lifespan every 1 min it does a shield boost. This drone I think lasts a hour and has a warp wake of 1k around you so its essentially a healing pet type drone.

Again if you feel they're too weak can look at them again and beef them. The Kidd drones generally have secret abilities at certain shield banks and energy bank levels.

Here's the google sheet used to balance these drones: http://goo.gl/5vIO4I *spoiler*.

This content was done with the community through discord and voice on discord. Ideas came from other players about what the drones would/could do as ideas then I implemented them to fit around SS.

Would like to thank mainly Chrono, Snurt and Freakchu for spending the time to write some ideas down for what these drones could possibly do.

So do you feel any issues with this drone or just leave it as is?
