About more types of drones, Jboy9786 suggested some repair drones, here was my answer :

Not sure if I want to add more drone types as it would complexify a lot the behavior of all of them... About shielding: all drones actually act as a shield for the base already (they share their armor regen with the base), and fighter drones should be alerted whenever the base or any drone is under attack so they should come to defend it ;)

And ULTRAKILLER suggested some builder drones, here was my answer :

Hmmm that could work but may turn uncontrollable if too many factories gets built X) The mod got balanced so that it could support around 4 factories with all 30 drones built for each, so I'm pretty sure building more factories automatically would just turn into a lag fest :/

Well thanks for replying

Actually I may reuse some of those ideas, but for a different purpose, so wait & see ;)

Hell yeah

hey people are suggesting about new drones but what about the factory being able to get upgrades.

i didn't read desc oops.

@dragyLan: I thought about Factory "tiers" as well, but it was starting to get too complex, so I kept it simple and just assigned different prices to each level of Drone and that's it ;)

ooooooooooooh interesting cant wait to see what you come up with ;)

idea: the ai/player can upgrade the factorys so there will be a turret to the factory on a upgrade same with a better shield a bigger inside and also the factory being able to spawn in drone
helicopters that drop in mk1 drones like a badass vietnam tactic

i use to think about spawning in giant space ships but that will be a big RIP to my frame rate

Hmmm I don't think I want to complexify the Factory behavior too much (it is already confusing for a lot of players), but I may eventually add different types fo Drones (like I did with the latest patch) ^^

could we have a summoner variant
