Drones... droning on and on and on

[Morax]

Honestly someone against me on Regor VI 1v1 sent a couple drones to grab all the reclaim and holy hell did it throw the game for a loop....

You pretty much CANNOT compete with that since inties can't shoot them down. There is no way you can get an engie to reclaim to snatch it up before a drone does. It's just absolutely miserable seeing this kind of play in the game because everyone knows as well as I that there are people that will abuse it.

In my opinion, its a known bug and if someone is intentionally abusing it, report... and ban

I will do just that. Thank you for your input, speed.

Ok i thought this was already clear ... in beta it is fixed unfortunately you cant play beta ladder. Now lets come back to my "brilliant" suggestion how to improve double drone upgrade:

1.) Second drone upgrade costs 500 mass and adds the second drone with 25 built power for 500 mass like a t2 engi station just from begin
2.) Second drone upgrade costs 1000 mass and replaces the first drone and adds the second drone as t2 engi station drones

And for all who didnt get it yes it is a bug and only ASF should not be able to shoot drones. In beta it is fixed.

Yes, there is, but it's not popular. The only reason this is a problem is because ASFs have stupidly, retardedly, ridiculously high DPS. Seriously, look it up, it's off the fucking scale. The true solution to this is to do what SupCom 1 had, but not as extreme: Nuke the HP on ALL Air units, and the DPS on ALL AA weaponry to match.

Drones VS Inties is now fixed in develop.

This I would really like to see.


Any Air is ridicously strong to kill when landed. this would be a good solution.
If someone arguments against this, they like to park air on enemy ground. well... you just do not do this..
some players park their planes in enemy bases and they stay there for a long time when landed..
i do not want to come up with realism, but this behavior is sooo unrealistic right now, this would be there real solution.
nerf all air damage and Hp to a much lower level.
maybe every unit should be able to shoot every unit (like in TA).
hehe, this will never happen, but TA did it....

Speaking of drone abuse, check this. I'm pretty sure this is one of the most foul, blatant displays of abuse:

such blatant abuse should be 100% bannable.
By now everyone knows who isn't a retard

[speed2]

And look at these fucking abusers... They're not afraid of it, 4 drones straight away...

What exactly is the issue there Morax?

1 T1 AA kills both drones.

How the f*** do you get a t1 aa up in the middle when the drones are there before you.

I didn't bother because it would ahve gotten more reclaim than me and i would have power stalled, that's why.
