Just tested it out and Hunter actually can deactivate Titan's OD at the edge of the dome:

Nowadays who need proof when only feelings suffice...

 

My feelings about thunder new mechanics

Saboteur consumes so much mines, it's ridiculous. I never thought that one day I would ran out of mines. But between parkour and nos this dumb update, I will probably reach 0 mines in a few months.

 

Well actually, I will ran out of batteries before.

I have so many mines that I do not know what to do with them. I have over 20,000 mines, so that Saboteur drone would be perfect for me to fill matchmaking maps with mines to zap tonnes of enemies dead.

To be fair, that is how Saboteur should have worked in theory. You're mining bases into inaccessibility. You could have lain 54 mines while only using 6 from your stockpile.

My Drone is not fully mued. I lay 1+5 mines actually. In a few days it will be 1+6.

 

The dumb thing is that when they released it, it was only using 1 mine. And now they changed it to 4.

 

Less people will buy or use this drone now.

Nothing wrong with that.

 

And maybe... don't equip it 24-7.  Alternate your drones.

Oh really? You're going with the condescending tone? I equip the drone only if I play defense or camp. I am not entirely stupid

 

Nothing wrong with that? Except for developers. They designed drones do be used and the recent changes made some of them useless, especially for those low on supplies.

Wasn't condescending - was an actual real suggestion.  If you're running out of mines use it less.  And then you're also doing parkour - so it's not all on the drone.

 

But as others have said - it needed to be done. Sabateur had a disproportionate effect on battles - especially CTF and it's a Magnum that hides behind cover coming out only to lay more eggs.

Which ones? Because some players seem to mix up "useless" with "less useful".

I was doing Parkour in January. Since I came back, I avoid Parkour.

 

What about the disproportionate effect of the Hunter OD then? Make it use 5 speed boost in that case. Make the Dictator OD uses 2 of all supplies too.

 

Why balancing the drones, but not the other features such as OD?

But you depelted your stash right? before you started avoiding it right?  I think I have 27k mines - even uisng sababteur periodically that would last a very, very long time.

 

Disproportionate effect of Hunter?  What?  They nerfed the range, shortened the duration and increased activation delay. it's hardly OP.  Now let's talk hornet OD, where there's no defense aganst it and combined with Rail it can one-shot a medium hull that has DA & 50% protection module.

 

They have been making changes to many of the ODs over time.

I dislake OD - all of them - was a mistake to introduce them - so you are preaching to thew choir there...

IMO they changed thunder into a piece of crap so people buy guass and than they can nerf gauss
