valid Engineer drone and the nuclear dropbox

[The_one_and_only 97]

As the engineer drone is the only drone that has affect on all allies(without requiring a range) by picking up supply boxes, I think that the nuclear drop box should be included. Here's the idea:

If a tanker has the drone active and picks up the nuclear supply box, every ally that has already spawned is given 10% of their overdrive regardless of their hull(unless their overdrive is fully charged beforehand). Simple.

This should not affect the game balance greatly because:

1. The supply box only drops about 3 - 5 times(idk, it's a guess) for an average battle so it limits the amount of overdrive charge given

2. This drone is not useful as you think, as you would not want to pursue supply boxes(you would not get as many points compared to destroying enemies or using other drones)

3. There are other useful drones as well(like mechanic, supplier or trickster(gives more points)), so its not like every tanker would pick this drone to use

I don't use it to score points; I use it to help my team

I think this would make it way too powerfull.

It may be powerful, but how many engineer drone players do u see? How often do players get the nuclear dropbox often in games? Personally I would be interested to see this take place.

Likewise, but it still sucks because you can have a teammate right in front of you take the drop box that you wanted to take. So it will forever be a tough drone to use with a team. It can work more easily in larger maps certainly, but sucks in smaller maps due to drop count reduction.

This is a really cool idea IMO, 10% isn't a lot but it is a very nice bonus. Maybe even 15% would still not be OP.

No one uses enigineer drone, as it doesn' t do much for you,  it's a selfless drone that helps the team and interesting game play,   it needs to be buffed to encourage use
