Re: Drones and drone generators Mail wrote: I don't quite get it... You want a drone generator, that gives you drones over time.... for free.... anyone else think that is stupid? The way I see it there is no solution that wouldn't be craziliy unbalanced or completely useless. This falls into the former, no matter how expensive you make the drone generator it will easily save you money overtime. Drones are scaled in cost (and power, to some degree) for levels of use. Biggee, you're easily in the top 3 engineers ingame, only lacking some ger due to inactivity, that being said, I hardly thing you loose your drones often? Seriously, any 'good' engineer will rarely be losing all their drones, that is if the're not completely ignorant to what's happening with the Ai - You're sweet. If low-level engineers are complaining about costs of losing 4x Armada Infernos, Adv. C&C and a charge, then perhaps they should look back into BFDs, Ambushes, Titans and Acmes, all respectiable and useful drones. Also, what about all the people that have made stockpiles of Armada Charge/Ambush/Inferno drones for sale an use? Just screw them over, awesome! Idea is flawed. Time Warp Weapons shot for free and no matter how expensive they are, they save money over time also they are NB in some cases so u cant even lost em. Are they crazy unbalanced or completely useless? _________________ Original Sybir /GodSteel My custom shader ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐ |

Re: Drones and drone generators How about drone generators that are built from the dropped/built drones + complicated parts, t3 etc. that have reduced stats, but are generated?
So an armada charge generator would take maybe 10 charge drones, 1mil cyanure, and 100 bacta. Something with a hefty build cost, but the 1 use bp creates a generator that generates Compact Charge Drones that are smaller and maybe 75% the power of dropped or built charge drones. _________________ uhmari wrote: When i look at uhmari, I can see clearly the problems in it |

Because drones are automated defense platforms with their own shield and enegybanks and a variety of weapons. ONE engineer can deploy a multidude of drones for differing auras, effects and weapons. Unliked ONE beserker, for example, which can only fire one type of weapon at a time. Time Warp _________________ andezrhode2a wrote: Timmeh is the exception to every rule.

Re: Drones and drone generators Engineers have the potential to lose ~15b in a single death. FCs have the potential to lose 500m in a single death, and other classes have the potential to lose 125m. All other classes have a large fee for the initial character creation (FCs 4x the cost of others, but it's still just a 1-time fee). Engineers need to pay large amounts of money constantly, often due to lag or bad luck. Also, they're really no more powerful than any other class, they just fill a different niche. This should defo be added.

Re: Drones and drone generators Kinda sucks when you loose your drones because you DC while killing a Hive solo.

Re: Drones and drone generators Also sucks when you have Lion snipers grab Zeus aggro and instead of hiding on debris or dieing honorably they hide on your drones and invite you to lose bilions on their mistake. =P
