Drones are incredibly powerful. With the tesla update, they’re almost unfair.
Here’s my ideas:
Battery:
Every drone now has a battery. These deplete after having the drone be up for some time, and then they need to return to recharge. This takes power from the drillship.
Configuration:
Turret drone’s prioritizing (target COGs, modules, drones, etc)
Battery fullness
Return to reload/refill/reinforce
Wether or not defense drone has tesla coil. (makes them weaker and uses more power)
How many heals/repairs a drone holds. (these take resources!)
COG usage:
COGs (Primarily millitary) can use all manner of drones. These can be used for general protection or to launch an all-out siege on your drillship.
General tweaks:
LMG drone should be a LMG, not a minigun.
Increase drone health slightly.
Decrease the damage of turret drones.
Support drone’s tesla coil does not deal damage to COGs.
Drones should be able to be painted individually.
Drones require complex materials to produce. (iron frame, iron gear, etc.)
