How about a mix of the two. Obviously shield drones would just hang around and offer some kind of aura affect increasing your armor or something similar. But lets say gun drones, marker drones, and missile drones would need to be given an order to fire at a target till either the target is destroyed, out of range, or given a new target. That way the owner needs to keep track of the drone to get the most use of it. Not a totally free thinking and attacking unit, and not completely user controlled. I think a cool use of the Drone Controller unit would let you take control of the drone ala COD/Battlefield.
Devs have mentioned somewhere the inclusion of "noncombat pets" and "combat pets", the latter being a "pet" that would give a buff or do something for the player but IIRC the latter was as yet undeveloped and may not make launch
Hey guys, on a different note, anybody know why my title still is "Member" and not "Curator" (which i should have due to my Captain founder pack)? And yes, I clicked "Apply".
there still remains the possible inclusion of a 5th faction for launch..to be decided upon by founders similiar to the 5th subfaction decision the Devs have mentioned
Got the captain pack, which, to my surprise, seems to be the most popular pack . Usually the cheapest packages are the ones to go first. I am also going to subscribe for some extra points. Probably til the game launches. Definitely want all of the heroes, even though I intend to play seriously with only Chaos and Loyalists.
Captain pack. Man, this game's got me super excited. I haven't dropped $120 on a video game ever. It looks like the devs are excited about this too, and I think they have what it takes to deliver on it. Now to wait... ... ... Is it out yet? ... ... Cleanse, Purge, Kill! For the Emperor!
