Summary0005195: Eagles are annoying for the following reasons...
DescriptionFrom thread: http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,9413.0.html

After creating a discussion and poll, I've decided that Eagles annoy me (and some other players) for the following reasons:

-So many get spawned at once (lots of spawners and rapid spawn rate) that dodging them sometimes feels like an act of futility. Plus, it causes the fps's to drop and the animation to look crappy.

- The attack sound, while cool, gets annoying if played over and over again, as it inevitably will when one is in a chunk which contains Eagles. Perhaps this would be less of an issue if they weren't trying to imitate the zerg?

-Having eagles as the "bullet" type enemy just feels wrong. Why would bats avoid obstacles while eagles fly right through? (Unless this is a Donkey Kong reference) I feel like some other kind of enemy (with perhaps fewer frames of animation) would make more sense.

Basically, would it be possible to reduce the spawn rate at the very least? Changing the sound and/or sprite would be a nice extra.

I'm of the opinion that there are too many as well.

As am I. Or perhaps they could build up to the maximum population level based on nests over the amount of time you are in that sector instead of starting at that population level on your entry.
