Papertiger is away at the moment, however people have asked about the drone changes - These are his notes, just formatted & removing technical / admin only notes:




These will go live soon.

whats an armada aftermath reward drone?

No idea - as I said, these are merely his notes. I presume there is an engineer mission chain relating to the UZ that gives drones as rewards?

the drones and missions he is talking about arent in game.

The list adds new drones in; I'll check about Armada specific questions when he returns.

Youre joking, right?
Improving Kasa Quus?
You obviously havent seen the carnage they can cause relative to other drones......

Thats because Kasa Quu's are the ONLY drones with damaging base weaponry. If you beef them, I demand a Drone with an Ada SL, and one that can power its Achilles Pulse.

As for Armada Aftermath, the Serengeti will get one final addition of content, including 4 new T20 Perma Drones, a possible Reward UZ Ship, and some other crap. There is also possibility of a squad of wandering teamed UZ AI for Perilous Space(Like some Zebras, a bit of Panthers, some Rhinos, and a Lion or 2, possibly on the strength of the Mini Ubers for DF300+, not initially aggro)

Y'all got 2 choices.
Nerf the drone and improve slots,
OR
Leave the drone.
Either way it needs to become no more powerfull then they are atm...But with drone slots, we have options

It uses Achilles Gear with formidable resists, base versions of the Jiji and the 3shot, and is T18. No other single drones comes even close to matching its raw power.

Even the ADD is puny when compared to the Kasa Quu.

it uses ambro gear, so does add for that matter.

Then the Jiji Qa and Ukukuu Qa are T14 too? Sheesh.

The new version lacks these augs, so the vanilla version will actually be worse off, in both terms of damage and shields; it does get a range modifier aug though. You can, of course, add an athena of your own via Astral Injection.

Might have to beef the IQ'Bana spawns though, thanks for alerting me


p.s. I'm pretty sure that you can scan drones the same as bases, so... no idea why you all missed the aug load-out.

erm... astral injection goes to 10 meaning T10 augs max, right? and adonis augs are much better than athenas anyways...

edit: also, you cant scan drones. just tried with ship and base and planet scanner just for kicks. doesnt work

Tell that to a person with the admin panel on test.

as mentioned T10 augs are the maximum we can get with Injection 10

Unless your planning on bringing out AI16 with this update?


Otherwise sounds good, thanks for getting the info to us.
