Venusian Drone
Why not?
It will have Vmag (Range) Vjack (Dps) Vray (Lazer?)
Tech 16, mostly for a lower lvl dps drone.
Also an "Insanity Drone"sinewave v2 wrote: Insanity Drone

built from a BP, or Mad scientist drop, similar to charge drones

Re: Venusian Drone
It sounds good in theory, but I just cna't see the Venu Drone really being used, it'll be very useless. Unless they beef it to shit, then it'll be broken. Likewise, if it's the stepping stone for Merc Drones, I think that'll be a huge waste of money. + It will clog our loot tasbles, I tell you I'm so sick of gettinguseless BPS.

Re: Venusian Drone
What about new Mzungu Mining drone? T 20 Size: 150 Elec: 15000 50 % protection to all Weapons: Mzungu Trading Riposte, Mzungu Big Pulse.
Weak as BFD drone, obtainable via ruins or BP from missions in Mzungu Angani system (Enigmatic Sector).

Re: Venusian Drone
Venusian Drones and the suggested Insanity Drone would be an awesome cost effective alternative to Armada drones. Perhaps have the BP for the VDrones make a pack of 3 or some such for 1 piece of each type of VGear?
Cost effective drones are a great idea and should be pursued.

Re: Venusian Drone
Venusian Drone T19 Vmag +75% Tracking 4000 Electricity Requires 100m, 1 Venusian Magcannon, 1,000 Promethium, Misc Metal/Silicon.
Mercurian Drone T20 MMag +75% tracking, +20% critical hit chance 6000 Electricity Requires 1b, 3 Venusian Drones, 2 Dementium, Misc E-nukes/Metals
Then give mobile variants of each, taking a few hundred million + Shrinkonium + Venusian Motors + the drone that needs converting.

Re: Venusian Drone
Why would you want a drone using VMag? Pretty much all the other Venusian weapons would be more useful I think.

Re: Venusian Drone
It stalls engines and its long range, when coupled with good tracking, can easily make it hard for an agile target to get close.

Re: Venusian Drone
Sounds like you want it for pvp. But it should be a somewhat cheaper version of the armada drones.
venu pulsegun+ laser+ jackhammer or something would make a nice step up from titans (just...) and should probably cost 1b or less. Perhaps 1 of each weapon=5 drones.
Merc could be the next step up. Maybe make it cost a few times more.
We need more drones to go between titan and armada. How do you expect new players to replace over 10B of drones every time they screw up?
Whilst we're at it add some healing drones as well... engineer trans stations and acmes don't quite cut it. Something either AI base cheap or in the 500-1b region would be nice.

Re: Venusian Drone
It would be like a bfd/inferno drone combined into a nerfed drone for lower lvls to easily solo dgs like the other classes do. Its for lowbies, so think of this as a drone a lvl 500-1k would use to power lvl/dg.

Re: Venusian Drone
We could use a lot of new drones, honestly. There are a load of gaps out there that could be filled! Here are some old ideas of mine, anyway;
Heavy Siege Drone Tech 19 Weapon: Siege Catapult Inbuilt + range modifier to give it the same range as the normal siege drone.
Trebuchet Drone Weapon: Flaming Swingy Cata Tech 21
Incision Drone Tech 15-16 Weapon: Overdone Lipo
Deep Incision Drone Tech 17-19 Weapon: Toomuch Lipo

Re: Venusian Drone
The last class that needs new gear is Engineer -_-
Why not some more drones that can be used by other classes effectively?
- Elec Transference Drone. Costs "x" Shields to drop and fires an energy transference beam thing.
- Flare Drone, costs elec, fires flare gun, has uber vision/detection.
etc

etc you know drones already got a pretty nice radar right? Drones by themselves have just as bad radar as you. Drones deployed from an engineer have radars that rival bases. You are not an engineer.
