If we simply have to do drones i suggest we go the route similar to the Tactician's drone from killzone 3 all it did was hover in the air and provide support fire as it moved about.But was fairly easy to take out as long as you were not foolish and stood out in the open.
We could just modify it to for a small missile launcher and machine gun and a on board camera so someone could switch to the drones view and provide surveillance via the weapon swap wheel.
If done right it could be a great asset to a scouting party.Since someone would be able to control them when in camera view. And there clone would be a sitting duck when in said view.
If they wanted to do something neat allow the drone to be customizable like the drop suits and allow for scanners,weapon buffs,speed boosters,range extenders cloaking at the loss of weapons use or whatever else we wanted. |

If they do allow drones i think its a good idea as long as it does not get out of hand and they allow fittings like they do with the drop suits can we get racial variety and for them to have there own pg and cpu increasing as it goes up the ranks but taking a set amount of pg and cpu to put them in your equip slot. |

I think AI drones aka passive drones that follow you are would be fine as stat boosters, like faster shield regeneration within an xx area or other similar stats that can support the team. Like others have said, it should be heavy cpu/pg costs and require some dedicated skills to use and have limited health and function. This feels like a natural expansion to logi skill set as a possible way for a logi to support the team.
As far as remote controlled drones, they should be limited to spying, hacking or maybe scrambler drones to mask team movements. They should definitely have limited stats and range if implemented. so make them usless? I think not sir.
I feel we could do alot with the drone idea as they could be used for spying among other things but what good is the spying aspect if we cannot see what they see.
Unless they do a passive map scan that shows enemy movement every couple seconds. And i would like the ability to summon and dismiss them at will cause trying to hide from someone with a floating thing or tracked robot following u is not smart. |

An alternative could be the MAV from Battlefield 3, which could be remote controlled or AI, and spend its time searching for and lighting up enemies across the battlefield. the MAV's from BF3 are borderline useless especially with the crossbow's scan tip making the TUGS useless. I would rather have a active scanner built into the UGV variant, and a line of sight for the UAV variants.PLus, there has to be some kind of combat variant, being slower, and having more armor, it could be used to check a area before you move. Just using a spy version would only help stealthy people, and right now, that's very, VERY, VERY hard to do right now.
I still like my idea not because it was mine but because it seems the most versatile cause u would not need multiple ones just a base to proto variant and since they would be customizable they could fit whatever role the situation required. |
