if this goes without using energy then surely that defeats the (Want to be allies? Sometimes I like to pretend I am a princess riding a pony..) purpose of the other myth heat drone which requires rockets in exchange for not using energy.

that seemed like a fair comprimise, but come on. this is getting silly now. oh and in a classic Tacticsoft middle finger we've all come to know and love it has 1 less weight.

I disagree, I think as a concept it just doesnt make sense to me. I understood why they removed energy from the rocket myth drone because it was for rocket mechs which often dont use energy, but this is just a regular heat drone, I think they should have upped the explo damage and made the usage 10 heat/ 5 energy or something to be an improvement on the tripple pointer.

just my humble opinion though, I dont think its hideously over powered or anything but I don't like the concept.

Oh yes, that way you are correct
I understand your point now

If it consumes energy, then it's no better than the normal heat drone.

Damage is on average less, does 1 more heat damage but generates 4 more heat to yourself. So the only advantage is that it's slightly lighter.

Maybe it should consume energy but have slightly buffed damage or heat damage.

It just makes the Eruptor and Sector Eye pointless in that it does not require energy. However, this drone has it's higher heat cost. The only use I could see is against other energy mechs. I would prefer the eruptor or sector eye as it is more versatile against all 3. This drone seems much to specialized to have a use. It would also depend on what parts you use and modules as well. I would not rule this drone out in anyway.

yes, I agree. I believe it should have its explo upped a little and probably its heat generation down.
it's just my problem with it is the other two heats that dont require energy require some kind of amo so I could understand the concept and the thinking behind it but this one is just random stats for the sake of stats. maybe I'm just asking to much for some continuity in the way the mech parts function .-.
