no, they need to be movable in a patty, not very but thats what the pre-reg for them is, patroller.

also, it gives the patroller another reason to exist, which i cannot complain about

I'm going to keep bringing this back

So about them DEBs....

Blump

There are some serious problems with DEB. (mind you i have never experienced them in game)

It doesn't help with game scaling, as you can't get more of them as your team gets larger due to the cost.

If you can't fly through it, than how the hell do you stop galv runs/bomb runs? Think about it.... someone launches with it, and doesn't get the timing perfect, and traps everyone inside of it, while the attackers just wait for it to expire. (unless I'm misunderstanding the collision code)

You can already block aleph carriers with mines and carriers. If you want a controllable drone DEB or buildable DEB drone to block alephs would be a different story, and I would support that.

Tie it to shipyard, or course.

You can modify the model or cvh or whatever to have a spot in the front open for launching ships, although we're getting into actual work territory. But an addidtional base shield for Giga is something that should be reinstated, as a belters crew can eat Giga's attempts at expansion too easily atm.

If there was a type of deployable nan drone or something that would work as well (cost still 1k). The prohibitive cost and relative vulnerability of the drone should keep it from being used on bomb runs or other silly things, but still allow it to be deployed at a base with some effectiveness.

p.s. maybe if it had a nan that affected only small base hull? AFAIK Giga has no caps with that type of hull (I think bships on other factions have small hull? Maybe all cruisers do).

just implement DEB and let us playtest it, the problem is, very few people remember DEB or how to use it, we really really need to get it implemented and let the various coms work out how to use it, problems will become evident with use

could you trap a con inside a deb shield?
