MistenTH Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 They are basically sitting ducks, as it takes just 2 rockets and some blasterfire to burn it down. In vehicle maps turning the shield on just screams SHOOT HERE. I'd think it needs strafing, even at the current slow speeds, and that the shield ALWAYS regenerates, even when on, just that it's slower than when it's off. If the shield overloads, it will have to recharge back to full before it can be turned on again, for balancing. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzerian Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 The deka also needs to be more accurate and shoot with the 2 left guns at the same time then the 2 right guns at the same time like in the movies. The shields visibility also needs to be reduced over distances since turning on your shield is just crying out "shoot me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 There would be no point in strafing, since it would strafe so slow that all it would do is make it more difficult to aim. Plus, the leg structure is impossible to make it strafe. I've made a mod which replaces the Jet Trooper with a Clone Commander (meaning there's no EMP Launcher in the game anymore), and the Droideka definantly will have a better time.

Ranre Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Yeah I agree with Syzerian, the deka's shield is preaty much like golden gultch in Los Vegas, so to speak. Also if the shields lasted a bit longer, it might be too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzerian Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I think its the weapons on it that are the problem. Its damn near impossible to hit anything with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranre Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Yeah, from far away at least, i don't want to be caught with my pants down when a droideka comes or so to speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnkparasite Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 When a droidekas sheild runs out it's pretty much already dead. It's so slow it can't run away and when its in a ball its out of control. And yes it is weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markzh Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Droideka looks useless for fighting, they move so slow, if their shield down just killed in second. but Droideka is a good unit to get outpost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
