Hello everyone,
Its time for the next Development Report of this Project.
Today I want to give you an Overview of the new Drop Turrets and Devices Section of the Fire Support Manager.
Drop Turrets and Devices Section (All Factions):
Each Faction can call 3 Units in this Section:
Of course there are unique for each Faction and have differences.
- Drop Turret
- Drop Beam Turret
- Drop Supply Station
Each of them has access to Enhancement Upgrades to Improve their Fire Power, give them more Weapons or Abilities and a few of them can change their Gameplay. They are not buildable by Engineers or SACU's. So they are only callable by this Section.
Of course a new Lobby Option to Manage the Access to make them callable or not has been added as well:

Note:
The Drones are working similar like the Kennel Engineering Drones.
So you are able to give them Orders directly.
Compared to the other 3 factions the Seraphim are using an interesting Concept.
All 3 Units are Tripods (Walkers) which have access to these two Modes:
You can switch both Modes with an specific Toggle Button.
So you can use these Units as Movable Land Units or as Stationary Defenses
Once called all 3 Units are coming from the Orbit with an nice Drop Arrival Sequence.
They are coming with 5000 Health.
If you want to increase their Health to 15000 you will need to install the Armor Upgrade
However this Upgrade will force all 3 Units to switch to Stationary Mode.
Once the Armor Upgrade is completed the Units will loses the access to the Movable Mode.
But you can install the Movable Mode Upgrade to remove the Armor to get the access Back.
