Hi guys. Today I’d like to show a preview of one of the new class super itemsunder development called a “Large Field Hospital”. It’s a non-sticky, class locked super item for Shield Monkeys, and is tech 17. There’s a smaller, cheaper tech 5 version called simply a “Field Hospital”.
This item takes 90 seconds to charge up with a total energy cost of 9000. In addition to the energy charging cost, it requires an instant consumption of 12000 shields in order to use.
Upon use, the Shield Monkey and all allies and their possessions gain a 75% resist all aura that lasts for 5 seconds. A drone called a Large Field Hospital Drone is deployed with a 30 second lifetime. This drone has high resists, and has a shield transference on board that heals targets for 1000 shields every 2 seconds, and imparts a 3 second shield regen aura on the target that regens shields at 4000/s.
The drone is created partially with the Shield Monkey’s own shields, and you can see a center concentration of shield in the middle of the drone. This shield shrinks to nothing over the course of the drones 30 second lifespan, so there is a visual indication of how long this drone has before it disappears.
In the following demonstration video, you may notice that I deploy my 3 temporary drones, and then use the super item to deploy this as a 4th drone. There is new code that’s going in that causes all drones deployed by super items to not count towards your personal drone limit. This means that using a super item that creates a drone will not diminish your normal ability to use drones. This change should be especially useful for Engineer who is getting some new super items that deploy drones, since using these won’t reduce his normal DPS.
