declined battery consumption

[Noob_001 64]

i have suggestion to change the battery consumption 

currently: tank use battery when you get respawn ,  join battle or when you use drone effect 

suggestion: tank should use battery only when you use drone effect

thy reason why i suggest is this: sometimes when you join battle you get respawn and then you leave you lose 1 battery 
or if you have for example booster drone everytime you die before you manage to use it effect you lose 1 battery 
its just waste of batteries that why i usually prefer to use brutus drone.

Well yes I can relate to it, sounds great ^^

There exists a drone called Crisis, which gives you the ability to change your supply every half a second. Essentially you'll be shelling out 300 crystals every 0.5 second, if you use the drone extensively.
That's actually insane. @Noob_001

it use 5 supplies everytime you switch so its 250 crystal ( not a big difference ) instead for balance you can make it to consume 1 supplies and 1 battery everytime you switch

but actually it doesnt matter because mostly only buyers have this drone and they have "unlimited" supplies

Negative, I know many non-buyers and poor souls who use it.

You cannot just say "Buyers use it, so anything is fair". That's just ridiculous. Just discriminating someone "cuz they spend in the game", that's not the spirit.

you rather spend 5 supplies than 1 supplie and 1 battery + crisis is buffed almost everyone use it ( if they have ) so little nerf won't change anything. ( yeah if its nerf ) 

i almost have same amount of battery and other supplies so i prefer this style

How will this idea, work for Camper drone?

It does change a lot. Shelling 300 crystals every half a second, might as well make the drone way too expensive for non-buyers, who've gotten it, to use it.

You have to face the truth, this idea will not work for Crisis.

This unfairly affects lower-ladder drones with fast cooldowns and additional costs such as Driver, Assault, Mechanic, Engineer, Supplier, and unfairly benefits already powerful high-ladder drones such as Booster, Defender and Trickster, where the duration of their drone-activated effect is 30 seconds. 

 

Not to mention the existence of passive drones, which do not have active activation requirements such as Crisis and Hyperion.

ok then for crisis use battery when you use drone's effect but dont spend more batteries until you die.

Camper activates when you repsawn, so number of respawns = number of batteries being used if his suggestion goes through.

Drones use batteries only when you spawn in a battle for the first time, and once every 60 seconds after that.

Overall I like this idea... and then there's Crisis. I can't stand Crisis, so I'd say they deserve it, but maybe it consumes batteries once per minute or whenever you use the drone, whichever one spends less batteries?

[Iron_Man 2,376]

Status changed to "Declined"

As said by @TheCongoSpider , this will only make less powerful drones costly, not something which is what we want at the moment.

Again, would make crisis way too costly.

maybe this would work: you activate drone with key number 6 ( gold will be 7 ) you consume 1 battery and then it wont take more batteries when you use it effect until you die when you die and respawn u have to press number 6 again to activate drone ( - 1 battery )

Defender and Crisis get an unfair boost then

You can survive really long with those drones.

you can remain consuming supplies for them then everytime they use effect but not for other drones  which have quick recharge 
 

 

another idea: just remove autouse battery ( auto drone activation )  instead add activation key ( number 6 as i mentioned ) and after you activate drone keep the everything same ( the way drones work and consume battery ) but after you die u have to activate drone with number 6 again. this activation will take -1 battery as normal autoactivation but it will be manual activation so you wont waste batteries if you dont want use drone certain place and time . 

in activation i mean: for example if you have booster drone equipped until you activate it u dont get boosted damage when you use damage supply ( also you wont consume battery ) when you activate it drone will appear ( with tank ) and after that if you take damage supply u get boosted damage 

for the trooper drone:  which activates instantly when you respwan. you have to activate drone before you die. after you die u get its effect when you respawn 
( i dont remember if theres any other drone which activates instantly when u respawn if there is it would also work with this way ).

 

simple description: change auto activation with manual activation 

[Noob_001 64]

all the supplies shown at the bottom are manual in use except the battery so it doesn't make sense
