Buffed Drone Carrier

Description
Synopsis:

This mod buffs the Drone Carrier and changes its playstyle towards more of a support tank role rather than being a pure backline support unit as it is in vanilla.

Description:

This mod changes the Drone Carrier so it can summon any one type of drone once per turn as a free action. This, with the new added Bomber Drone (no new model as of yet), allows for the Drone Carrier to field a versatile squadron of drones appropriate to the combat at hand. Additionally, since summoning drones is a free action, it is now important to utilize the DC’s main weapon to maximize its impact. This encourages a more forward placement of the DC in combat which makes it an engaging unit to utilize in battle than the waddling drone dispensor it was before. Summoned drones now start with zero action points to balance out the above changes.

On top of this, the Drone Carrier gains the “Command and Control” full action ability. This ability replenishes all action points to all drone units you control within three hexes of the Drone Carrier. Drones cannot benefit from this ability more than once per turn. This rewards a more forward placement of the Drone Carrier.

Compatibility:
This mod changes the Drone Carrier unit entry and modifies the Drone unit entries. It will conflict with mods that change these records.

so i dunno where to post this but either this mod or buffed melee is bugging the imperial tile and since both of them are created by you i'm just gonna leave it here and hope you see it. Land unit can't walk over imperial tiles and/or oath bound building tiles from residential district in the world map.

...did the Drone Carrier actually need a buff? It's already stupid strong, even by Tier IV standards. About the only way to meaningfully fight and army of them is with Tier IIIs and IVs of your own.

Ahh, thanks, I was confused there for a minute.

It's kind of more of a rework. Way back in the early days of release, the Drone Carrier was absolutely garbage. I reworked it to allow you to more versatile selection of drones to summon and to make the drone carrier a more more of a front line piece in your army. Triumph buffed it a bit and kept it as a support unit.

Wait I'm confused, the Drone Carrier needed a BUFF? Drone carriers trivialise every AI combat encounter. Is this a multiplayer problem that I'm missing, or did it get nerfed in an update since last I played it?

That's outside the scope of this mod. If you want T4 unit mounts another modder made a mod for that. (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198869260584/myworkshopfiles/?appid=718850) .
