When I charge a drone....
I expect it be fucking fully charged, I don't charge a drone just to find out it has no shields when I deploy it mmk?

Re: When I charge a drone....
The way that the shields work is different, otherwise it would be way too easy to get your drones' shields up. They charge shields many times faster while in your hull I believe and energy charging has nothing to do with shields, only energy, the same way it was in c1 (with deploy energy not increasing drone shields)
Otherwise as you saw your drone dying you could scoop and re-deploy instead of having to heal it, which makes drones even harder to kill than they already are.
As it was explained in some patch awhile ago the code automatically deploys the drone with the most shields out of the bunch, so if you have 3 AID with shields at 10% 20% and 40% at time of 1 finished charging, the one with 40% will always be deployed.
I saw somewhere that all drones heal in your ship's hull in 60 seconds, but I have yet to confirm this. But makes sense.

Re: When I charge a drone....
Drones get +100% or +200% regen while in the hull; no drones have stop shields.

Re: When I charge a drone....
I don't think the dev that added those drones was an engineer main.

This statement is false, the first deployed drone would have far more then 40% shield and the others would have none

Swift.Kill wrote: Have you even tested this? For years it has been unchanged you're completely wrong. Go get a drone down to 40% shields that has a very low charge time and re-deploy it. It'll have barely more than 40% shields. Because shields do not instantly recharge that would be broken. AND why would the other drones have 0% shields that makes no effing sense The drones do not "add" their shields up that is also broken, and can be easily disproven by testing, but I don't need to do that because i've been using drones for longer than you've been alive Quote: * Big changes to drones: Drones will be remember how many shields they had after being scooped, and will slowly recharge over time while stored in item form. Changes to temporary drones - new drone slot requirements, astral injection functionality changed, drone research functionality changed. Drones require the ship to be the same or higher tech to deploy. Drone Mastery nerfed to +1% drone stats per level, increased drone slots

Re: When I charge a drone....
That's really not right I'm sorry, but if you're absolutely convinced upload a video and i'll admit you're right. But I've never seen that ever.

A reasonable post, I agree to this
