Make Robot Drones to use...

Post by Logi99 » 05 Mar 2016, 09:09

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Well you see on ghost. YOu see. 'Join as Robot Drone' yet we rarely see it so I thought of a way this could be to use.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Atleast make a rarely-used command to use.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
So basically I thought that these drones could be something that could be used by command in order to keep track of what happens if the SL gets his helmet broken, or gets killed M.I.A. An engineer will have hold of the drone and will deploy it when BOs use a switch on their overwatch console. Which then gives the Robot Drone command a use. If the drone ever dies, the camera will be deactivated and so then. No more cameras. Drones are player controlled and will be told where to go via Command+Squad. Also they should be able to fly. They can talk in the radio but only in the squad. The drone will deployed via beacon and will be called the squad's name so it can communicate with the squad.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):Use the code on the sl helmet camera and make it permanent on the drone. Then once drone is destroyed, camera is deactivated.

You know the "drones" are just cyborgs?

I think I made a suggestion about scout drones one time. Why not? +1

Eh...uhm....well
I am not sure what to say, neutral, i would prefer for us just to have no drones and for that command to be removed, there is no real need for it

"Drones" are unlikely to be added to CM anytime soon or even at all.

Drones aren't coming back after that drone rebellion of 2015. Denied.
