It doesn't work well.
The DroD are affected by Era and speeds.. and the different kinds fire different plasmas.

Early: speed 16, normal damage.
Mid: speed 24, ignores shields, normal damage
Late: speed 32?, 2x damage, envelloping.  (20 points split by 6 shields)


Unless it got fixed in 25410 and no one was advised, not even the testers?

Yikes, he is right, the part that counts.

They are all speed 36, plasma speed. (I try loading S M F in different eras), but the damage behaviour is as Firesoul describes. Medium Speed DroD REALLY ignores shield...And Type IV (missile selection) really doubles the damage yield. it can be scatterpacked. (like I said, Exactly as a missile)

So it would seem it doesn't change everything, and is only good in Scripted Skirmishs.

Yea... See, anyone who played SG3 knew not to take a monster mission as one of them had been fitted with alot of offensive plasma D....

It's too bad that they don't work right. Maybe the next patch   j/k.
