Sounds like an awful drone. I'd never use something like that.

I don't know would make an interesting concept. Most builds are heavily built around side weapons rather than top weapons right now (as there are limits to weapons due to weight). Would be interesting to see if a drone + heavy knock back side weapons could keep these mechs out of their range and in range for your top weapons

Considering how much heat and energy it costs, there would be no way to balance it with a knockback build.

Anyway, there are already effective knockback weapons like push and blowback and bully, which are great combined with a heat top blaster.

This drone just takes too much resources and the damage is inconsistent (comes out about the same as the heat drone). The knockback is hardly enough to justify it.

And it does physical damage, while the only good knockback top blaster is heat (energy only knocks back 1) so if you use a drainer it won't benefit both your blaster and the drone.

I like this idea. But maybe it cost too much on heat and energy. It should do less damage but purely be for KB. As a counter-balance maybe you could add legs that reduce KB. maybe -1 KB legs or so. Weapons with KB will have their knockback force reduced by on.

Its a cool idea Perhaps the energy and heat can be lowered a bit. Also the damage as well Maybe round about 20 to 25 perhaps and the energy can be -12 and heat can be +6?


Seems cool to me
