Hold onto your tophats folks!
It seems like the upcoming update will not only transform mining but combat as well!
That's because we decided to dig deeper with the drone tech and also bring you...
[h2]Turret Drones[/h2]
Another type of drone that will help you
TURN THE TIDE in combat.
They will:
- increase your firepower
- help you out of sticky situations
- harass COGs and enemy ships on your behalf
Just use your bracer (or map) to call them and the drillship will send them over like an underground torpedo!
'How many types are there?' I hear you asking.
Good question, the answer is a lot! You get to choose the type by feeding one of your guns into the drone's module, which will then produce the drone.
Got a spare rocket launcher? BOOM! Rocket Launcher Turret Drone!
[h2]Update when?[/h2]
Most of the heavy lifting is done and we're getting closer to the finish line, but there's still quite a bit of work left to do before we can release this update. We're eyeing late February or at the very latest, early March.
But worry not! We have one more ace up our sleeve for this update in the meantime.
Stay tuned.
PS: Had a ton of fun reading through all your theories under the previous posts! Here are some of the folks who correctly predicted the turret drones:
