    The drone formation i think would be cool is if it was round "drones circled around the ship" and offered 100% accuracy and full damage "not up to dmg" to weapons but the penalty would b -30% to ship speed, speed generators can't b boosted and cloaks don't work with this.

    ships usin this item in any enemy maps will sho up on the mini maps the same as in the x-1 maps. "with the same yellow indicator lights"

    The price would b 100k uri.

    Guessing the title of the thread has a typo and it is a formation not a design?

    As a formation I think you have actually had a nice idea, for once. The pros and cons are pretty are fair and it would be great for killing npc.
     
  3. How exactly would speed generators not be boosted? They are already set for a certain time based on how much of a resource are on generators. Is your purpose of the formation to immediately stop the timer of what resources, or deplete entirely the amount of time? Another possibility could be maybe half of the boosted effect from resources?

  4. It would probably work like the BAT. Timer keeps going and you keep the resources.
     
  5. Na, CBS will be indestructible if UFEs sit on it.
    Also, there are people that can't move fast, so if a hunter has a 30% penalty, they still wipe out the noobs.
    -1 from me.
    If it has any negative effects to newcomers, -1.

    Yea it's a formation, i think the ore boosts of speed gens should instantly deplete as well as any boosters placed on them when using this formation.

    Hey Kiler, i don't mind changin the penalty to 50% if it calms u down.

  7. Still too deadly.
    Any noob clan does not have a chance, with or without CBS help.
    It should be 0 speed with that type of firepower.
     
  8. i like the idea but max firepower is a lot of dmg :D what about 5% more dmg 10% more shield but the ship cannot move?

    How about an ammo restriction?
    Say no better than x3 and -50% top speed.

  10. Or maybe off limits to UFEs and some stuff newcomers can use generally easy and be able to control?

    I don't know, just an idea, more of a suggestion really.

  11. This is worse than BAT formation. Who wants to move 30% slower...gotta move. Should have it for the rockets 100%, but we have a tech for that. The hellstorms hit 100% already. No!
     
  12. Hellstorms don't hit 100%...
    Out of the 5 you shoot, 3 or 4 may hit.

    Ah so 30% is aight, cool. 30% it is.
     
  14. They don't hit all at once...but it is 100%...BOOM! Why do you think it is called 'Hellstorm?'
     
  15. Hellstorms Miss / Damage Percentage

    Hellstorms will never give a full "MISS". However individual rockets within the 5 that are launched can miss and those individual rockets deal between 75% and 100% of their maximum damage. Hellstorm rockets are the ones with the most variables, in some shots the damage difference is huge.

    100% lasers, rocket and hellstorm damage (plus any other) is just to much. People already hit over 150,000 with what is the laser hit miss ratio? 80-90%?

    No

    U overlooked the cloak kickn + big accuracy an lil speed.
     
  18. So what about Evasive Maneuvers I & II. Would this still be effected with the drone formation or no? Sounds like you would be wasting PP on Evasive Maneuvers if this formation was made. I give this a -1. Too have 100% hit ratio for every weapon is just way to overpowered. It just would make the game a lot more worse than it is now. Don't make it worse for the noobs than it already is.

    Oh and I forgot to mention, Precision Targeter is enough, 100% Hit Ratio on Rockets. Max damage 100% of the time, is absolutely ridiculous.

  19. I would rather argue with you ;) Since, you pointed this out. The hellstorms hit better than the rockets stat wise. Therefore my 100% stands. We be :cool:
     
  20. If you use 3030s with rocket bio and Chev, they'll hit far more.
    You can fire of 4 rockets faster than 5 UBER HSTs
