[UI] New Drone Formation: Dagger formation

The Dagger formation im suggesting will have a 3d visual effect in the game of all 10 drones split into 5 forming a double arrow formation but is infront and back end of the ship

The difference is that these spins around counter clockwise similar to the drill design.

Using the drone formation will give you a bonus effect:

Bonus effect

• 40% increase in shield penetration for NPCs
• 5% increase in Laser Damage
• 10% more reward in Credits

Penalty

• no honor rewarded
• 25% Decrease in shield strength
• 20% Decrease in speed
• 10% Decrease in HP

The Penalties makes outweigh the usefulness of the shield penetration for npcs, making it easier to kill aliens like bks when grinding.

25% Decrease on shields can be similar to the shield drain of the moth formation, but helps the newbies cope up with the penalty.
20% Decrease in speed for a good choice for some npcs like the bk that is slow and requires a better timing on circling it, slow speed helps in circling some aliens with moderate range so they wont hit you while you still got the upper hand (for lazy people who grinds all day and does not want to make too much effort of circling too much when they are faster than the npc)

10% Decrease in HP, well, because! the 40% shield penetration! remember? dont be bias to moth?

No honor awarded so whenever you forgot to change formation, its your fault.

 

That is too strong for gates, you should add "on the normal maps".

 

I didn't add that up because i think it is impossible for D.O to do it somehow, preventing the function of the formation on special npcs with a special character on their name.


If they manage to do it, i will be glad, i will edit the post later.
