Needless to say, they're called Firebat Drones. The Reavers, naturally, developed their own hybrid attack drone technology while they look somewhat like the Forsaken Piranha Drones, they're armed with miniaturized slag throwers.Certain Forsaken-developed tactical modules allow ships to launch drones (so long as they're capable of mounting a tactical module in the first place, that is) the Blitz Drone is armed with cannons, the Siege Drone with miniaturized Siege Missiles, and the Piranha Drone with Piranha depth charges.The Draconian Typhoon - first encountered in the Storm Warning arc, and later relegated to encounters in the Eye of the Storm campaign - uses this as its primary attack mode.This makes mixing weapon types a bad idea as just putting one missile on a powerful ballistic ship would make it incapable of moving in for the kill on its own. This is one of the problems with base guarding ships, if they are set to move, they will also stop when any of their weapons are able to fire at the enemy.Artificial Stupidity: If your ships get in the range of an AI enemy's weapons, they will stop moving to fire at you, meaning that they can fire at you with missiles but avoid moving closer even if they have powerful ballistic weapons.Gold can be used to send "premium" gifts to your friends, such as blueprint parts, mega resource crates, and amounts of gold.Gold can be used to instantly finish incomplete unfinished blueprints, instead of gradually earning blueprint parts by hitting salvages.High-tier raid hulls with good builds can take up to several weeks per ship, making it advisable to use gold unless you are comfortable with waiting. Gold can be used to speed up repairs, builds, and researches at time reduction of 30 minutes per 1 gold.Allegedly Free Game: Subverted, you can research all end-game tech and earn the best raid prizes without spending a cent on gold, but it may take longer and people that spend money on gold have a slight advantage over those who don't.A fourth faction called the Scourge arrived in a series of monthly events in 2015 this group has its own unique technologies and ship designs, including fast-moving submarines that release EMP blasts when enemy ships get too close and weapons that deal corrosive damage over time.The aesthetic evokes a cobbled-together, "improvised technology" look. Their hulls appear to be Forsaken and Draconian hulls smashed together, while using weapons based on radioactive damage and extremely high rates of fire. This faction utilizes their own unique tech, based primarily on jury-rigged technology salvaged (or stolen) from both the Draconians and the Forsaken. Later updates added a third faction: the Reavers.The Forsaken Alliance (controlled by the players) is made up of the lower/middle class citizens who were left behind after the flood and had to resort to piracy to survive.The Draconian empire consists of the upper-class and the government, they seek to destroy the Forsaken and gain control of the world's resources.The flood results in civilization splitting into several factions. After the End: Battle Pirates takes place after the world is subject to a global flood.Very useful if put on "instant-repair" ships, like unarmored Sea Wolves or Light Cruisers. ![]() ![]() ![]() If a ship equipped with either of these specials has its health depleted, the ship explodes, damaging nearby enemies (and leaving a fiery patch that damages any enemy ships that pass through it).
