SMR -> Forces

Post by OmegaRenegade »

Was talking to PV a lil while ago, and we started talking about forces, in particular combat drones, he had the idea to have 2 types of them.

One type would be Defence Drones, basically they get in the way of shots and add to the defence of a ship, while having minimal firepower.

The other type would be Battle Drones, they are bigger, and take up 3 drone spaces each. However they provide alot more firepower.

What you guys think?

yeah. That adds yet another option. Do I want to be able to take more hits or to give more damage?

Needs to be balanced, but I like the idea.

Ok, so it looks like it will be something like this:

battledrones: 3 defense, 2 offense
fighters: 2 defense, 3 offense

All drones get launched when fighting. However, the % that actually shoot/hit the ship you're attacking depend on your exp and the maneuverability of your target.

This is up there with the Planet Defence drones etc we've had over the years.

While I would like to see more depth, not sure on this one.

Comments?

I say stick with the citadel and defensive structures. No need to change CDs at this point, although I wouldn't mind adding additional defensive units at some time.

Well is this primary for planets vs ships? U can always limit planets to old drones... even thou technically the drones on planets are already different in functionality than ship drones. Wish I saw this before I posted my thread :O

Believe this was actually for PvP interactions, though could be carried over to Planets as well..

Unfortunately seems we never hashed out the finer details of this one.
