| Summary | 0005679: Decoy drones | ||||
| Description | A straight look at its stats reveals a problem: it only has 200k HP and a ship cap of 9, which only provides 1.8m HP of armour-less protection. Huh? What happened to them? Even if they cost only 800 metal, having only nine of them greatly limits their use to the player. | ||||

Argh. Firefox ate my post. Okay, to recap, decoy drones are a capturable so you don't have to balance them for stacking mark levels on top of each other. Therefore, what about dropping the cap to 2 or 3, increase the HP (8mil?) and give them a decent chunk of armor. This would make then a decent shield for your fleets in the mid-game. You would have to balance them so that the late game attacks are not make significantly easier by the increased HP they give your fleet ball. |

Before you recommend a significant change, may I recommend you play with the support AI and a strong wave AI. Those decoys can ruin your day if you're unprepared for them, as is. I agree it's not overly dangerous in player hands, though. |
