 Need I say more? It hovers, it's controllable, it can hold guns. It works in any gravity. Well, any direction. It's not very strong and it doesn't take all that much force to pin it to the ground. EDIT: Down + Forward makes it move easiest. New sprite:

Great!... How do you control it properly? It doesn't float in Orbit Lands, it just drops. |

Well in order to prevent it from raping either the terrain or your CPU, I had to reduce the effect of gravity on the hover drone. Sadly this doesn't seem to apply in Orbit Lands. Sooo, best I think you can do is reduce it's gravity if you want to play around with the hover drone. Aaalso the Chaser Gun was supposed to provide more acceleration than it seems to... I'll get that fixed up. |

Another way of doing this is concept making a large armored drone that is not affected by gravity and to compensate its firepower and heavy armor, it would use seperate gentle "thruster" gun that propels the drone in the desired direction. The user would have to switch between weapons making it tactically fun to use. |

that still wouldnt work in orbit lands though, as the gravity there isnt done to incorporate gacs yet. fix that possibly TLB? though it would be another check on every MO in the scene, it would be more realistic. |

Ok, updated. Improved the drone's stability, increased the chaser gun's movement speed, gave it a bit better sprite, and now you can toss chaser drones as grenades, to chase down anything that moves. |
