Summary0003848: Decoy Drones could do with a bit of a buff
DescriptionCurrently, the description for the Decoy Drone says: "Tough, high-health vessel with no significant guns". Its health is 200k and no armour, which really goes completely against that; a Mk. I Fighter has 162.400 health and 300 armour, which probably makes it a tougher target. Considering the Decoy Drone is experimental, I would expect a much higher health in the 2m-range, perhaps with middling armour as well.

2M sounds like a bit much, considering how much they can interfere with battles. 1M may be about right.

But in any case, as they are now, they go down too fast.

Be careful what you wish for. Support corps sends a healthy number of these guys with attack waves.. That attract all the fire from every ship firing at friendlies near it. So 10 ships fire.. Redirect to the drone.. 700 ships fire.. To the drone. Make them too tough and there might be a problem when ai spams them. Ie 10+ a wave means atleast 10 salvos of your gunfire not hitting what you need it to hit.

.5M then?

Wait, what is their ship cap? That is an important piece of information before we can start trying to balance them.

The ship cap for decoy drones is 9.

Wow, that's pretty low. I guess they need to be decently durable in order to justify that ship cap.
