i had an interesting idea for a drone seeing the new spider leg drones, what if we had drones that attached to your build like how a scorpion has its babies on it? instead of a box containing the drones inside of it the drone can attach itself to a spot on your car. hitting the proper trigger makes the drone detach itself and run alongside you shooting at enemies. when the drone runs out of charge it will scurry back to you and attach itself back to the spot you “welded” it to and charge itself back up as you drive or stay still (driving increases its charge rate, staying still slows it down). upon destruction it doesnt get destroyed but stays immobile, you would have to run into the drone to pick it back up. it would then start repairing itself and once its repaired its ready to go again. however because it had to be repaired it will have lower damage for a while. if its smoking while it scurries back to recharge it will also repair itself and take longer to recharge.
they can also be used as armor! however once it is shot off your build theres no repairing it. if the recharge/weld spot for your drone is destroyed it will instead attach to your cabin should it not be blocked. if it is blocked it goes inactive.
what do you all think?
as for the type of weapon i think it would have… mmmmm… im thinking either a miniature nagual, or something like an adapter or something like an argument or maybe an equalizer?
