I'm back!

Apart from these changes, I think there are also a bunch of miscellaneous tweaks that went in. Nothing too important (probably), but you should notice them.

And now to respond to the bit-, I mean the valuable player input



Hehe, I've overseen some of these runs. All used armada inferno drones, which weren't touched at all (well they got a drone diffuser, but no bonuses to offensive power), since they already did nice DPS. And you have to remember that in each run the players lost quite a few otherwise expensive drones, so DM rushes probably won't be sustainable on live server.


These changes were put in 2 months ago if not more. So yeah, they are all on test.

Eh, not quite. They lost the bonuses from 2 exc. ranges and athena aug, and got an adv. exc marksman and 3 free aug slots instead. It's not exactly a beef, since they are now weaker and you get to pay to improve them (yay!). Fully augged, they would probably be somewhat stronger now, though.


They weren't permanent, that's why they were mentioned in the notes, dummy

Arcadian shield cap, actually (special t3 unobtainable cap with 100k shields).

Qafir got 2 aug plugs. Qafir+ on the other hand had inbuilt augs removed, so they are basically the new Qafirs now. Except you get to pay more.


They can be built, you just never see them being deployed. Can you guess why? Yup, I fixed that.


Kasa is a bit (a lot) harder to build than ADs. Having said that, ADs got a bit of a beef, since I removed the built-in augs, giving you opportunity to slap adonis augs on them instead.


Ouch.

They are 4 tech 20 permanent drones I added. They are quite expensive and pretty difficult to get ahold of.


If having access to xml documents that list all the gear used by drones counts as "being able to scan" them, then yes, we can "scan" them.

Off to work on the SM21 galaxy I go…

DRONE GEAR GLUE

All engineers who want this, put that^ in your post.

you, on the other hand, seem to be on the ball.

All the DMs are happy you're back, they've had to deal with my fumbling around the XML to see what you've been doing

Jey added some tags meaning we can easily specify aug slots for drones now - no need for augmenter plugs and/or hardcapped limits on slots, but the outcome for the player is the same.





Critiquing a dev who has freely admitted that the work commented on isn't their own, that the dev responsible will be along shortly to give exact details and it coming true, and still sniping about it...

Let's just say, I hope you can see the obvious here - players are getting feedback on development, which is the important part of this forum.

No.
Stop being retarded. Not just you, but anyone who asks for that.

sorry, very true.

where can i access information like this, would certainly help in making broken drones.

Don't feed the trolls please.

Is it possible to look at the permi drone only Aug's alpha, beta, gamma these Aug's are worse than Adonis Aug's but require more ship Aug's to build them would like to see these Aug's balanced and become useful.

I have a Hotrod+ level 20, with 3 Basic Capacity augs, 2 Platform Augmentation Alpha... It has 3 hull space, and does an awesome 3 speed! The augs are not sticky tho, which makes it all hilarious.

Could i ask about the new T20 damage type drones that were supposed to be being added?

would be nice to have a few Titan level drones that did mining and other damage types along with new mission based drones that do different damage types.

Pip put these on the to do list (stuff that needs added), can't remember if they are already done or not, didn't see them in the Temporary Drones section of Aurora's post.
