Summary0005679: Decoy drones
DescriptionA straight look at its stats reveals a problem: it only has 200k HP and a ship cap of 9, which only provides 1.8m HP of armour-less protection. Huh? What happened to them? Even if they cost only 800 metal, having only nine of them greatly limits their use to the player.

Argh. Firefox ate my post.

Okay, to recap, decoy drones are a capturable so you don't have to balance them for stacking mark levels on top of each other.

Therefore, what about dropping the cap to 2 or 3, increase the HP (8mil?) and give them a decent chunk of armor.

This would make then a decent shield for your fleets in the mid-game.

You would have to balance them so that the late game attacks are not make significantly easier by the increased HP they give your fleet ball.

Before you recommend a significant change, may I recommend you play with the support AI and a strong wave AI. Those decoys can ruin your day if you're unprepared for them, as is. I agree it's not overly dangerous in player hands, though.
