valid Option to decline effects of teammates' drones

[SporkZilla 1,775]

I've started using the Engineer Drone all the time on some of my accounts because I have saved up lots of batteries (and because I get a lot of them from Shard Containers), but I'm aware that the supply sharing effect can cause problems for some teammates, especially with Repair Kits because of something to do with cooldowns

I don't want my choice of drone to be a bad thing for anyone on my team, so I think players should be able to opt out of receiving the effects of drones like Engineer if they want to

What problems does it cause?

I'm conpletely fine with this unless i won't get points for that ally. Also, u don't think that anyone minds a repair.

Just so you know, that repair kit pickup with the Engineer Drone can potentially be bad for some allies because they may be in a firefight and have to use their own at a strategic time to win but then it randomly happens and screws them over which would make them die. When I'm about to go over a repair kit, I look around the map at my teammates' HP levels to see if they would need it or not and if they were in enemy territory

Nah, let's not. Instead make mech and engineer repairs allow repairing with no repair penalty time instead, easy fix. If you waste someones booster/defender/trickster, that's their fault not yours. The repair issue is the only one that needs to be fixed. Similar with Sprinter drones 5s repair penalty.

Good idea but not for mechanic drone, there is a drone which sometime activate my double damage and it is a problem to me since i am a booster user so it will make my performance bad, and like i can have DD activated on whenever i want and i dont care about drugs so it is a problem if someone gives me a free double damage drug against my volunty.

What's the cooldown for your DD, after the Engineer drone activated it for you?

Just curious as I've never had Engineer enable my supplies before.

The problem isnt the cooldown, the problem is that it gives a free DD while im booster user so i would lost the booster drone effect.

Wait, so it doesn't give you the extra damage with Booster?

Exactly, and the dictator OD doesnt give it too, maybe it is good for low ranks when u care about supplies but it isnt good for big ranks when u have 60k DD waiting to be used.
