Why does tackler's sentries don't have the same range?

Hi!

 

All is in the topic title :stuck_out_tongue:

Why does the heavy one have a greater range than the little one? Since its projectile speed is slower, it wont touch aniways…

One thing I understand in games is:

 

Bigger = More range = more slower

 

Smaller = lower range = more faster

 

But honestly I never deployed one of these things. I will soon.

Big one vs frigates and complete slowdowned enemies

Small one vs everything

 

When both would have the high projectile speed of the senrty drone the combination would be op.

Hey, i talk about the range, not the projectile speed ^^

Further more, Tacklers are meant to takedown Interceptors, not frigates.

I guess people got bored with such gameplay. Xp

It says tacklers are designed to destroy interceptors but they are also a support role that slows ships down and reduces their resistances. You can also build them to deal some burst damage which may or may not kill a ship. The drones are meant to be used as a tactical unit in conjunction with some tackler mods - it is much easier for the big drone to hit a frigate when it is close and the frigate is being slowed by the tackler. The fact that the large drone has a long range is just one of those things that seems silly. On the plus side it will show your the direction of a frigate and will keep it from sitting still, not that many frigates sit still for long enough when the drone is 4km away…
