KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3179	Posted - 2013.03.16 02:29:00 - [1] - Quote Soon Dust 514 will have a PVE mode where you fight against rogue drones (click here to see). They seem to be come equiped with different kinds of weapons like the shotguns and HMGs, and in different sizes. I'm sure the weapons they use and their size would be good for variety, but their is a massive advantage drones have when it comes to variety; their bodies can be anything. Unlike humans, drones are AI. An AI can be installed on a variety of completely different body types. This can be from massive giant robot spider boss that requires many squads to take down, to small logistics drones that keep the other drones intact. In this thread I will make proposals for drone types that go beyond the basic hovering tentacle monster type of drone that we have seen so far. I will also cover roles that drones can occupy on the battlefield. [Swarm drones]: These should be very small, and they should attack in swarms of dozens. They should be very weak, like only 10 points of health, and their damage should be very minuscule. They should only be a threat when they attack in large groups (a swarm). Swarm drones should only be able to damage when they make physical contact. [Logistics drones]: These should be moderately small, and hover above the standard attack drones to repair them. They should also be able to revive destroyed drones within a few seconds of a drone being destroyed; the revived drones should have with 20% of their health. Logistics drones should be fast, high flying, but moderately weak. [Attack drones]: I don't know what they're really called. The ones we already seen before in trailer. [Heavy attack drones]: I don't know what they're really called Bigger versions of the attack drones, we've seen those before as well. [Fast attack drones]: Motorcycle drones (or hoverbike since drones seem to like hovering) mounted with weapons. About as durable as a regular attack drones, but significantly faster. Here is an image from a movie to illustrate the idea (click here). [Digger drones]: Originally designed for drilling through tough terrain for mining purposes, these massive centipede-like drones have been modified with dozens of small turrets for offensive capabilities. They burrow underground and pop out to do surprise attacks on enemies. These have high health. They should be trackable underground with active scanners. Imagin a robot version of (this) with lots of guns mounted on it. This may be quite a challenge to do considering it will that it breaks through the ground, and that will require destructible grounds. [Tank drones]: Hovering HAV drones with powerful defenses, and wields powerful small turrets as well as a large turret. It could look something like this, (click here). [Aerial attack drones]: Large flying drones that have small turrets, drops bombs, and also deploy attack drones like a dropship. Has moderately high health, flies slowly. It can look something like this (click here). [King spider drone]: A giant spider drone the size of a building with multiple large turrets. It has around 20,000 total HP, and requires a full team of mercs, or a group of tanks to take down. This would make the ultimate final boss. Here is an image of how it might look (click here). I realize CCP may already be developing a wide variety of drone types that may already do all the things I would like to see (though probably not), but I'm just posting this preemptively I guess.
Rhapsodyy Darkforce SyNergy Gaming 5	Posted - 2013.03.16 04:29:00 - [2] - Quote Like the general ideas, hope we get plenty of variety in the drone types, and the AI better be good, i want to see them spider tanking with remote reps and all sorts, dont want them to be a complete push over.

Terry Webber Gothic Wars Consortium 52	Posted - 2013.03.17 21:20:00 - [4] - Quote I like this a lot. +1
Ranger SnakeBlood OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 130	Posted - 2013.03.17 21:35:00 - [5] - Quote +1 what about infested things like the infested battleships in eve. Infested Dead clone in various dropsuits? zombie of sorts Infested HAV Infested LAV Infested MCC (for a laugh) Down the road a bit there could be things like: Infested Mtec Infected aircraft Infested downed eve ship hulls that fell to ground cant fly but are now hostile and have to be destroyed, Infested buildings that they made into hives

bacon blaster VENGEANCE FOR HIRE 3	Posted - 2013.03.21 13:00:00 - [7] - Quote I like all of your ideas, but I don't think they will do the the diggers for one reason: it would require destructible terrain. Don't get me wrong, it's a cool idea, I would love fighting it, and I would love the destructible terrain more, but I have yet to see any mechanic for it, so I doubt we will see it.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 3916	Posted - 2013.05.19 03:22:00 - [8] - Quote There could be a crappy but effective way to make diggers work. Basically have it just phase through the ground, but darken the ground around where its emerging to make it look sort of like a hole.
KAGEHOSHI Horned Wolf Brutor Vanguard Minmatar Republic 5160	Posted - 2013.07.27 07:29:00 - [9] - Quote Added cloaking drones to the OP.
Leovarian L Lavitz 3dge of D4rkness SoulWing Alliance 352	Posted - 2013.07.27 07:50:00 - [10] - Quote Infested blaster installation - the quad base that it sits on splits out into spider legs and it walks along pewing people with its perfect aim O.O Infested LLV murder taxi - This is a heavily tanked lav who's only goal in life is running over people, and pewing at everyone with its blaster while repairing other drones. Infesting - Infestors will attempt to infest (hack) any abandoned vehicles on the field that they feel improve their combat ability. An infested vehicle can infest other vehicles. Infestors can also infest turrets and objectives. Sniper Drones. Just to **** you off. Comes in three varieties: Light medium and heavy, they all hit the same, it's just the tougher builds are there to mess up the guy trying to kill them.
