#Cerberus drone downtime

The cerberus drone should have 3 seconds(30m) before firing on the person who launched it, to allow the drone to target someone else, or to get away from it before you take grevious damage. However, you can still fire it and stay near it or just not move and still take some damage, allowing self damage synergies.

For clarification, the drone will move, but can not shoot for 3 second/30m, and only after will it target the closest person/drone

this would also slow down a potential quick vengece activation with it🤔

#

seeing how other drones fit into the game combat, the cerb-drone stands out. all other has a very basic usecase while allowing some advanced technique.
While i see many good usecase for the new drone, I wont try it since im also losing a bunch of HP.

(only refered to BS, but due to minimal similarites between WS-BS, Im sure this could help WS combat too.

as andreas would put it

skill issue

I could do a lot with a 1sec delay

west dune
#

If you wanna pre-proc veng, this doesnt stop you other than try getting good

west dune
#

At this state there is literally no way to target anyone but you

#

the 30mins delay in WS would also give some time to react, seeing how easy it can be to sneak to opponent supports and whatnot.

Bs7 decoy drone. Ohh wait thats a lots of millions 🤣

#

It honestly seams like a dual laser play more than anything. I mean you can launch it at someone and run but it depends on lvl stats and no one has really leveled it yet

#

I think the Increase in Drone Level should change the Cerb Drone Type. I want the ability to field a Colossus or Hydra

#

But yes, a targeting delay is needed

#

Actually, I take it back.
It should be TP’d into the target location

#

Similar to how the ghost and sentry TP in during RS

I was thinking obviously not true. But it would be funny if the gaurdian slowly got bigger, like the size of a collasal by 12

#

It is a modified version of gaurdian. Not collasal so just make it grow per level would be so funny 😂

#

But if it got hp of collasal it would be best drone there is

winged raven
#

So it has more than the vanilla Colo

#

What's the lifetime in ws? I havent looked. Also who updates these guides? Or do they get info from devs? Because no one has upgraded that far

#

20h

sterile seal
#

Yep 2 answers

#

Imo for 30 mins, it is invisible like it is spawning but it moves to destination. That would be more effective than it not targeting you

#

But also dual laser so nvm

amber citrus
#

I didnt find any list on DPH in WS but seeing that its 900+600 at lvl6-7,
I think this mod would work best as block a sector with it in WS for 20h.

Since you would have to burn at least one module to get rid of it with that big potential DPH.

That’s why I’m thinking the Drone needs to TP in like the ghost and sentry.

Also, it’s kinda weird that my BS is just casually roaming the galaxy with a hostile drone in my cargo hold that instantly attacks me when I set it “free”

#

This delay would act like the laser turret setup time, so it’s not without precedent

if it had the same flicker as the other cerbs have when they come in which delays them a few ticks it would solve this problem. also bonus its untaggable by all weapons, I know I have tested this with many of a hydro rocket.

Absolute shite mod

#

Just have to upgrade it. Get it lvl 15 😂

#

I actually got a drone arts in daily reward so I can now unlock it 😂

It really feels like throwing a pokè ball and out comes some drowsy caterpillar who can't do shyte.

#

Go Cerb Drone!

It's only level 6

#

The rains begins to fall
Cerb drone's attack power sunk

winged raven
#

The self inflicted damage is the strangest thing for me.
Next, the Devs may want splash damage applied to yourself if your Delta Rocket blows up within 90 AU of you

alpine cypress
#

It's trolling

#

He wants to see if someone says Ooh it's so good blah blah.
Then he'll say HaHa it's just a prank bro.

#

I'm not falling for it.

#

Now if you could use it in YS it'd be another story

#

what if usage of cerb drone gave you stealth for 0.5 sec

#

enough time for cerb to lock onto someone else in range

alpine cypress
#

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts...

pine geode
#

That goes against the drone's design

winged raven
#

Yeah, I still think it needs to be a TP/Warp Rift on the target location.
It fits in with how Cerbs work.

Alternatively, it could randomly appear in the sector of spawning (but still with the delayed warp effect)

#

And then we could even allow for Barrier damage

It already made the majority of the game less fun
