Yeah but it made me re-think it. Does seem a little OP with multiple deploys. I think there should be some kind of limit. They are limiting how many pets you can bring along (even though 3 is awesome!).
It would be related to the mining robot idea we were talking about. Maybe an all purpose deployable (upgradable?) object/robot that can carry any weapon or tool. If needed you can switch between mining mode and sentry mode. But if its more exciting to carry each of these ideas with you separately, then I'm all for it.
I like the idea of both combined in one entity/robot. It would feel more like a pet that you can upgrade, only with a small inventory, and it can mine and use your person weapons (guns and swords). And its parts (arms and legs/wheels) are replaceable as the upgrade option.
YES! Excellent description! Just a little less lego-y... or maybe not (insert unavailable thinking smiley)
When I saw this I thought of auto select (that game) but perhaps is a bit more useful. EDIT: sorry, I mean "the button"
On that note, are there any permanent defense structures that you can build in game to defend your outposts?
omg, how long I didn't hear from this forum? a year or so? Doesn't matter now, I don't know they have it , but maybe.
