| Summary | 0021626: Should Drones be recalled if their Fleet is in load mode? | ||||
| Description | Someone on Steam (I'll add the name when I'm free, just putting this here while it's in my head) noted the Hive Golem can't control when the Drones are released, and moving from planet to planet causes you to lose them all. Slightly more relevant with the new Factory Drones. EDIT: overzot on Steam was the person. | ||||

Maybe don't recall the drones already deployed, but prevent releasing more drones when loading? |
|
|
Preventing the release of more drones doesn't help when the full complement is already on the planet. No more would get built. Seeing drones follow the same load/unload behavior as other fleets would be my preferred behavior. Makes the management process more similar with the other fleets. |

Don't drones have a limited lifespan once they're out ? If getting the drones back in "resets" them, it means that you can "save" them by loading and unloading them every 15 seconds, so you don't pay their construction cost again. One solution could be that "repairing" drones (so taking them back in) cost half of their cost. Another idea would be that it "cuts" them out. Once you "load" the fleet with the drones, outside drones self destruct. They could a small AOE damage while doing that. |

|
Drones do not have a lifespan. Nor do they cost anything to build. If their parent dies or leaves the planet, then they will start to degrade and eventually destroy, but no general lifespan like Enclave drones. In general this isn't an issue for the player, except for the mentioned Hive Golem. |

Fleets in Load Mode no longer deploy drones |
