Summary0001209: Buff Dyson Gatlings a bit
DescriptionCurrently, the Dyson Sphere is more of a curse than a blessing. Dyson Gatlings have 360.000 health and lose 1.800 per second, meaning they die in 200 seconds. The Dyson Sphere spawns one Dyson Gatling per 20 seconds, meaning only 10 will ever be around outside the Dyson Sphere world (where they are immune to the health drain). This makes them more or less worthless; in my game, they live long enough to get three worlds out, but at that point, they're so weak a sneeze would destroy them.

I've got three suggestions:

1) Bump their health by 2x or 3x, making them live for 400 or 600 seconds (6m40s or 10m) and giving a maximum of 20 or 30 outside the Dyson Sphere world.

2) Make them immune to health drain on player worlds. This means that 10 Dyson Gatlings can be fighting the AI, instead of just wasting away travelling to it. Could also be a buildable by the Dyson Sphere; a "Dyson Energy Transmitter" or some such; any Dyson Gatlings on a world with one wouldn't be affected by the health drain.

3) Bump their speed by quite a bit, making them actually reach the AI before they die.

And while you are at it, make them able to be reclaimed again :(

Seems to be several posts about it. They need a hefty HP boost to be inline whit heavy full type and to be generally badass. Maybe add some armor to them (or compensate with a lot of HP).
