Drone counts

Please give us a notice on our drone counts, both engineer drones and attack drones. Currently engineer drones show the number of people healed (this is important info too), and attack drones show nothing.

 

Actually, a little notice of where they are and which drones are mine would be nice too.

you can see the drones rotate around the ship… i guess attack drone info would be nice but it might clutter the HUD

nah I don’t think we should change anything engis drones are fine you guys don’t need any extra help…

If you have time to rotate around or wait. But you don’t have that time always. It would be nice to see it with one glance and not search for it.

It’d be nice to at least see which drones are yours on the map. Even if the drone count isn’t displayed, it’d be nice to have some sort of method of counting attack drones. It’s almost impossible right now, unless you have a minute to spare in the middle of battle.

no clutter just one more number on icon. good idea

good idea from fasz. devs will be idiots if they don’t put simple suggestions like these.

I think they should highlight your own drones, instead of them having a blue box around them like all the other drones, they should be green or yellow or something like that

Yes

Please

Already covered in OP, but it’s worth repeating :slight_smile:

Worth Repeating

I want to add it would be great to reduce the activation time for your intial 2 drones upon spawn.     

I support this.  If you are trying to micromanage your drones with a small sensor range, you have no indication of what is going on with your drones besides “Well, I’m locked on to Rakza’s guard…so they should be flying to…DAMN you Rakza and your anomaly generator!”

 

Point is, outside of sensor range, you only know where drones are going.  They fly so close together that it is difficult to distinguish if there are 1 or 2.  Additionally, if your drones are away from you and you’re trying to micromanage them, there is no way to tell if they will actually come to the fight.  We have no notification of how many there are.  Perhaps an audio notifcation that says “Attack Drones destroyed”  for the drones in the missile slot, and “Attack Drones depleted” for the ones circling.  I don’t know, just an idea.

+1 bump. 

 

Support! 

So funny, this thread was created in march 5, and people now start to notice it, when i consider not using drones anymore  :lol:

Well, the points remain relevant, but still funny.

Probably too many topics were opened that day so it got missed.

+1, it would be nice to not have to keep right clicking to check if my drones are still alive.

why? drones are fine as they are

I’ve been using drones all the way and this is the first time I’m seeing this particular topic. 

 

+1.

everyone else using missiles, mines, rockets have access to their max full potential upon spawning

 

engineers using drones have that delay no one else have.
