Buffed Drone Carrier
Synopsis:
This mod buffs the Drone Carrier and changes its playstyle towards more of a support tank role rather than being a pure backline support unit as it is in vanilla.
Description:
This mod changes the Drone Carrier so it can summon any one type of drone once per turn as a free action. This, with the new added Bomber Drone (no new model as of yet), allows for the Drone Carrier to field a versatile squadron of drones appropriate to the combat at hand. Additionally, since summoning drones is a free action, it is now important to utilize the DC’s main weapon to maximize its impact. This encourages a more forward placement of the DC in combat which makes it an engaging unit to utilize in battle than the waddling drone dispensor it was before. Summoned drones now start with zero action points to balance out the above changes.
On top of this, the Drone Carrier gains the “Command and Control” full action ability. This ability replenishes all action points to all drone units you control within three hexes of the Drone Carrier. Drones cannot benefit from this ability more than once per turn. This rewards a more forward placement of the Drone Carrier.
Compatibility:
This mod changes the Drone Carrier unit entry and modifies the Drone unit entries. It will conflict with mods that change these records.
