I know the screenshot does not show much action, but believe me, when the Terran fighters go against the alien drones it's simply awesome.

I do have one question. Are the alien fighter drones going to replace those small green and purple things for just an add on for the carrier. Also will the mini guns be able to turn fast enough to hit them and will rocket turrets ignore them?

No the drone carrier is a new separate carrier. It only appears in later missions. All turrets can engage them, missiles can even follow them. The effectiveness of the various weapons depends mainly on the angle of approach of the individual drones. If a drone flies directly towards a mini gun, it's probably dead, if it does a flyby on the other hand, then lasers or flak turrets will be most effective. Needless to say that a single missile will certainly blow the damn thing out of the sky.

So, don't worry.

Hopefully out before i go back to college to i can get a day playing it before going back lol. Cant wait.

three3pryme: I really miss the old days where we would chat all the time about the game and whatnot, but I guess nothing is made to last Jun 28, 2017 18:41:17 GMT -5

joe130794: Still no activity on here. I used to have plain images of all the newer graphics and made a few ships with the parts. But can't find them any more. Shame as I loved the new graphics. Apr 22, 2018 10:55:10 GMT -5

three3pryme: Who knows what happened, maybe he is just working hard and hasn't had time to check in? Should we try contacting him VIA App Store review if that's true then? lol Aug 12, 2018 10:59:09 GMT -5
