| Summary | 0003116: Hybrid drones not being used. | ||||
| Description | Hybrids are now using modules as designed, but I'm still not seeing drones. Am I misunderstanding what I should be seeing, or was the bug preventing module installation still not completely eradicated? | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

This is new to me. Recently I've seen player stories that very definitely had drones tagging along with the hybrids. Do you have a save where they're attacking and don't have drones? |

Here's one example, handful of Hybrids attacking, and only supported by a few normal ships. |

Well, actually that save demonstrates that they are using drones. Looking at the Umgen system (I think that's not quite the name, but it's the one with the hybrid alert) I see 5 hybrids and 50ish AI ships. Looking at them with F3 debug info on, I see that most of the AI ships are "guarding" (being coordinated by) the hybrids, meaning that they are drones. Granted, many of the drones are stuck in your tractor net, but it's not for lack of them being drones. The hybrids don't actually have very many drones, particularly at the relatively low levels of maturity those particular hives had. That number of drones is appropriate for that number of hives. If you have a save where attacking hives actually have no drones, please reopen. |

Oh, So Drones are just vanilla ships assigned to Hybrids. That's not really clear the way it is, the drone facility seemed to imply it would allow the Hybrid to carry an escort of Neinzul ships rather than have a token force follow in it's wake. |
|
|
Well, for example, the description of "AI-Neinzul Hybrid MkI Drone Spawner" is: " Produces normal MkI fleet ships to be assigned as underlings to hybrid hive ships. Destruction of this facility will impair the ability of MkI hybrids to reinforce their subfleets. " I'm not sure what else "normal MkI fleet ships" would mean to most people, but it hasn't been a problem in the past. |
