The balance god, yclepticon, requested that the base series of drones, that is Apollo Drones through to Andaman Drones, had their Transference Resistance removed and replaced with +100% Transference Efficiency so that they would not be such a liability to use in galaxies. Also for Ambrosia and Andaman Drones specifically I’ve reduced the number of pellets (projectiles) the Gourd weapons shoot to 1, less projectiles mean less lag in those intense battles, such as when fighting in Anatolia.

will ambro and anda drone dps be reduced being just 1 projectile to many or dps will stay the same just that the projectile is fewer?

I'm pretty sure the damage per projectile will be boosted to be equal to what the DPS was before. It's simply to reduce the lag, not to nerf it.

Correct, the DPS on the drones has not been substantially altered.

So what about Armada Ambrosia Drones? Are those in the line as well? They have 70% to trans.

Actually I think it went up a tad due to a balance sheet foible. Either way it shouldn't be a noticeable difference.

i likely went up on raw dps a bit to offset the fact it lost 2 chances to crit by going from 3 to 1 projectile.
