Saboteur Drone

[LuckyLuke 111]

I recently updated the saboteur Drone. I have seen people placing more than 10+ mines in single shot. But when I place I get only about 6 mines. How do I increase the mine count?

Where and when did you see this? Give a specific date.

If I give you a specific date, will you be in a position to open the game and verify it?

Ok. Why I am going to take screenshot unless I think it is not possible. I upgraded the drone based on what I saw, expecting to have 10+ drones....

In order for me to properly answer your question, I need to ascertain what exactly you saw. I am asking you again, where and when did you see Saboteur drones placing more than 10 mines at once? 

The only instance where 10+ mines were placed at once was in a recent YouTube video showcasing the new hull augments on a Test Server seen below. That is not in the game and that is subject to change upon official release. 

 

Another possibility is that you saw months-old gameplay of the Saboteur drone before its mine count reduction. But that only gave you 9 in total (1 + 8). 

 

The last possibility is you mistaking multiple rings of Saboteur mines to be one singluar ring.

It is not the game play I saw. I saw in the game and I got impacted on it.

How often do you still see this phenomenon? Do you remember the usernames of players you saw doing this?

Normally, I do not see the name of the players. I just play... I have seen it several times..

Can you give me a time period? When was the last time you saw this?

Even 10 days back I had this problem. I was attacking an opponent with isida and he enabled the mines and it was everywhere around me. There are more than 6 but cannot count. 

In some cases, I have observed the mines appear few meters away from the player. I do not know how they do achieve it

Do you remember the first you saw this happen?

I saw several times years before.

Unless you can give me modern proof of what you are seeing, I will have to conclude that the two below may have been what you saw.

I was observing this for years. So only I have upgraded the drone recently.  Even I have seen people placing drone few inches from their location. Or people have hacked the game?

Equipment in the game go through balance changes. What you see in 2018 isn't necessarily what it will be years later.

Mines have a delay before they are put on the battlefield. Currently, it is 0.1 seconds for a normal mine. The extra mines placed by Saboteur have up to a 4 second delay to appear. So when you activate the drone by placing a mine, the extra mines will "appear" 4 seconds later. That may have been what you saw.

I am trying my best to give you reasons as to why the things you see are happening. Simply saying no isn't helping anything.

I understand. But that is not what was happening...
