invalid Brutus Buff Suggestion(s)

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

I am the few individuals within this game who use Brutus as my main (and only) drone and spent nearly 3,300 minutes using it. I like how it is cheap to maintain (costing only 1 battery per min at the most) and it's balanced. Yet though, it is still underpowered compared to rest of the drones. 

I figured that Brutus's strength is giving passive boost to your tank's stats (more than just 10% damage reduction and bonuses).

Which means I have couple suggestions that we could try out:

Firstly (this could be OP if I am not be careful): When active, boost your turrets' stats (namely damage inflicted, reload speed, inpact force, range of max and minimum damage, and rotation speed) by 10%. And tanks' stats (HP, Top Speed, Weight, Acceleration and Power) also by 10%.

Secondly: Simply buff damage bonus and armor to 15%.

3rdly (Could be really OP NGL): Combine 1st and 2nd ideas.

So Brutus will basically give you Mk10 equipment with the first idea.

• You max out the Turret and Hull to Mk7+ (Mk8)
• You buy Adrenaline for the turret and a hull augment for the hull (Mk9)
• You get Brutus and max it out (Mk10)

No one said you need to use brutus. It's cheap, that's why the effects aren't that significant. It was introduced as a drone for lower accounts.

Brutus is twice as cheap as other drones regarding micro-upgrades and speed-ups, unless you suggest to increase these prices accordingly I do not see the need to buff it

That's actually how every drone works.

Some Drones such as Booster or Crisis eats up your manual supplies more than just batteries (namely DA, DP, SB, RK and Mines) a lot faster when you are using them constantly.

Yeah, that's true. I thought you were implying that other drones use more batteries.

How about, adding the following upgradable parameters for brutus; Increases all crit chance by up to +5%* and up to +10% passive speed bonus, it's still only brutus at the end of the day, cheap to use, not crazy as the other drones special effects at times.

*This will not override smoky's maximal crit chance stat

Note; doing any of the above would mean all other drones should be legible for changes too.
